And of course she wrote. sluts for potato skins. And then I said, you know, we've been patiently waiting the long return of our skins. And she said, I'm assuming it's a she, because no man would ever do this nice. She'll have to be a woman. Um, thank you for your patience. And we love ya. I was going to hit up with a sponsor us, but like, I don't want to be greedy. Okay, if you're listening right now and you work for 99 Corporate Instagram, I am obsessed with you and you have to sponsor us. Find a way to get us sponsored. I'll lay my life on the line. I will talk about the 99s. I'll do a self made commercial in the middle of these episodes if you needed me to. And I'll even weave it into a story so you don't see it coming. You know how podcasts do that sometimes? You'd be so good at that. I'll make a rhyme. I'll make, I will Lin Manuel Miranda the 99 restaurant. Chat GBT would help us out, help a sister out. The 99 for our 99th episode. And cheers to that. And cheers to fuckin that. We're, we're back and we're drinkin Yeah, Colleen's in a mood tonight. By a mood she's like pouring what I would like to call a high tide pour. And it's when, if you swished around your glass, the wine would go over the glass. Oh, I love that. No pussy pours here. I was feeling it. You know, I, I wasn't going to drink today and then I saw that Kohl's was closing and then I had to text my mom. Kohl's is closing? The one near me. I don't know. I'm assuming they're being hit. Nationwide, if they're closing the one near me, because that one's bumpin Wait, what? I mean, I don't know. But I had to tell my mother, Kohl's is closing, so. That's where I do my Amazon returns. Really? Yeah. Do them at Whole Foods. So easy. No, Cole's is down the street from me. Hopefully does not. Oh, oh. The one next to Wegman's. Stop saying it like that. Say it correctly. Wegman's. No, Wagman's. We have had this conversation. It's been a video on the pod. Instagram, WEG like Meg, Wegmans, Wegmans. Yes. What did I say? Wegmans with a Y. Wegmans. Don't ever make that hand gesture ever. I don't know what the fuck that was. She did a peace sign and like, bounced it around like a wrapper. It was, it gave me such the ick. That was horrible. Tell them what you said to me earlier. You're being so creepy. That too. What do you bring to this house, your household, or end this podcast? I said I don't know. She said vibes and then slapped her ass. I said just silly. Because she was talking about being useless to a situation. No, yeah. I was like, what, what do you do exactly? I don't know. That's, that's a question only God can answer. I knew you were going to say, that is between, not me. If he's up there, I don't know. She. He be, he be acting lately, like he ain't around. God is a woman. God is a drag queen. He's on sabbatical. God said, whoever opened the Jumanji game in 2025, I'mma, I'mma let this play out. He took a glance in 2020 and never came back. Totally. Can you believe that was five years ago? No, I'm still there. This March will be half a decade. She's 23. She's 23. Isn't that fucking crazy? Yeah. What's new? What's the tea? Um, I had a wonderful weekend. Okay. You just asked me what was new. Sorry, I have the giggles. What did you do this weekend? You just got offended that you asked me a question at the end of it. I didn't get offended. You were like, I'm just like, annoyed. Just a wonderful, wonderful weekend. I had a wonderful weekend. Let's hear about it. Coming for me. No, do you know what? We're going to talk about something before we go into my weekend. What? I go to pee. She comes over, she has the food, she has the wine, right? I'm getting all the stuff, like I'm getting the plates, and the condiments, and the napkins, and everything. I walk into my living room. She is Ass naked, like not a stitch of clothing on, looking at me in the middle of my living room. And I just stopped and like put my hand over my eyes and laughed because I was like, I left for ten, you're like a child, you're like a baby. I left for ten seconds and when I came back in, your hands were at your side. Like the twins in The Shining saying red rum. Just staring at me, nude. In my home! In my living room! With all the lights on! I did say, this is weird. You didn't like, Hey, just jump scare for a second. I actually said out loud, Why did I take my underwear off? Full, full poisoir. Yeah, I don't know. All I did was turn a corner. No, to be fair, I was changing into my like Relaxing clothes, but for some reason there was just like literally no need for me to be stark naked just standing there in confusion Like hundred percent. No, I could have just like put us put some pep in my step and like you could have done literally anything else Anything else? So That's how this night started. That was five seconds in. Then the 99s reposted us and it has really all gone down hill from there. Sincerely. Anyway, the tendies and the skins were chefs. Oh, shit, yeah. We forgot to share what we had. The tendies and the skins. The tendies and the skins and some french fries. Let me tell you, the people in there Kind of top tier. The bar was bumpin Oh yeah. They do trivia sometimes? Hella scallies. Yes. I saw hella men in scally caps like deep throating chicken wings and let me tell ya. Maybe that's where you should go to pick up men. That's my type. I'm worried. Scally cap at a bar on a Tuesday night, deep throating a chicken wing. I had a friend recently that was sitting at the bar at an Irish bar that we were at. And he was in a scally cap drinking a Guinness and ordered shepherd's pie at the bar. And I was like, I haven't been more attracted to a man in my entire life, like ever. That's totally fair. I'm on board with this. Ordering Shepard's Pie. I fucking love Shepard's Pie. Love it. That's all. Big fan. If you hear this, and someone's, you're thinking, If you fall into that category, Or if you know, if you're immediately thinking of someone, Give them my app on Instagram. Thank you. Everyone follows us. You may not have heard. We're celebrities now. Thank you so much. It's Colleen underscore Shannon underscore. Anyway. So, I had a wonderful weekend. So Leigh Anne and I went to this Chinese food restaurant. I cannot put into words how much I love this place. It's the greatest place on earth. Every time you go in, The only way I can describe it, and I don't know if other people had this because we did at home, there was a Chinese food restaurant that all the townies went to. So on a Friday night, you're really getting feral animal energy from such a Wild crowd. Like, no one is the same age. Everyone is here for different You don't you didn't have one of these? No. Was it like the VA or something? No, it's like Omodo. Like the Chinese place that's where like Yes! And there's gotta be karaoke, cause there is. Yes! Yes! And there's always a game on and the drinks will knock you on your ass like for no reason the heaviest gasoline Why is it gasoline? I don't know. I love it. I love it. We go we have cocktails We have the shittiest best chinese food on the planet in something wild always happens to us The last time the bartender was like that guy talking to you. Don't speak to him Why? He's a creep. Don't talk to him. Ooh. And then this guy sitting next to us was like, Hey guys, I'm going on a bachelor party. I heard you guys talking about weddings. Where do you think I should go? We were a whole ass planning this man's bachelor trip. So it just, every time you go, there's like nurses getting drunk after their shift and their scrubs. Okay. Iconic people watching. There's an old guy who's, who knows everybody's name and they're like, Oh God, here he comes again. There's people playing Keno. There's karaoke. Like it is a crowd. Okay. Okay. So this event this night, did you just ask me a little while ago if I went to the VA? Okay. Okay. I swear to god, did you see that? The VA is where the old veterans go. Yeah. That's not a bar. That's a VFW. The VA is where grandpa died. Sorry, sorry. That's exactly what I was thinking about. VFW, not the VA. That is in fact where our grandfather died. I don't know why that just So sorry. My B. Glad you called me on it. No, I just was like, wait a minute. Well, cause in my brain That's fucking hilarious. Like we had his birthday there. Like the Knights of Columbus? VFW? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. All the fucking same. VA. Oh god. Well. Iconic people. If you remember, you're iconic. From a deep recess in the back of my brain. I think that's why it stuck with me for a minute. Continue. So we're at the Chinese food place. We're sitting, we're having a time, mid conversation. A man, 70 plus years old. Oh. Comes up to the table, and just, no hello, no hi, just says, what kind of shoes does a chicken wear? And I went, Hi, how are you? And he laughed, and he goes, Good, what kind of shoes does a chicken wear? And me and Leigh Anne looked at each other, and we were like, Well, I, I don't know. And he went, Reebok?! And then ran away from the table. I was gonna say, Bacroc? Close enough. Reball? Re And he walked away? Walked away. He did it four times. The same joke? No, different joke. Every time. Oh, good for him. And at one point, it was like his grandson or someone was like, Grandpa, stop going to their table. Like, approachable. I have approachable face syndrome. Yes, you do. What's the opposite of an RBF? There isn't we should create one. Okay. Oh, well, I'll think of one. But It was just such an experience. Like you just never know you never know who you're gonna face one time I walked in there an old family friend who I have never met and I know of her Walked up to me and was like, oh, you're Carolyn's daughter and I was like, I sure am knows my whole family You just never know. It's the best place on earth. So I had a great time And then I had a wine night and it was the day it snowed So it was like such a vibe we sat on the couch and we yapped and just drank wine. It was so fun And then I had a FaceTime with Se on Sunday, and I was super productive all weekend. And I watched Gladiator 2. Oh. Denzel. Denzel! He's divine. He's divine. Denzel is so good. I mean, Paul and Pedro, obviously. But Denzel. Imagine him, like, just, like, talking you to sleep. You know? Yeah. Peaceful. I would love that. In an interview, whole cast was asked, when you're watching anyone, who amazes you the most? They were asked separately. And they all said Denzel In response, he said, I don't have time to be amazed, I got shit to do. And that's tea. Iconic. I don't have time to be amazed. I have shit to do. Should we start saying that when people ask us to do things? Yes. 100%. I also watched Conclave. What's that? Stanley Tucci Forever. It's a movie about The Pope dying and how they elect the new Pope, but the girls be fighting that sounds actually horrible be Fighting what girls the Pope's? Oh, there's hella. There's drama. There's secrets. There's intrigue Tea tea. It's like political but not yes I actually know nothing. That's something you should do. How, how the Pope becomes the Pope? How does the Pope, I'll put it on my list. Aaron. Aaron. Yeah, we'll ask Aaron. How does the Pope become the Pope? But, so this is a movie about it. Okay. How like they all vote and what goes into it and the conversations that happen behind the scenes and it's political and who do you vote for and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. So good. I wouldn't watch it again. Like if it was free on a, on like a plane, I would watch it. But I, I wouldn't rent it, like, wait till it's free on streaming. I rented it. Okay. But it was good. I enjoyed it. A plane movie to me is like Crazy Rich Asians. That's the best plane movie, period. That is my go to plane movie. It reminds me of when we went to St. Pete's because we watched it. Yeah, I love it. Every single time I watch it. Such a good rom com. Up in my top five. I liked it. I was a fan. Love that. also, people want an update on the numbness because some people reached out and were like, Um, why is Colleen's hand, what, vision, what's happening? So, can you please tell people that you have, like, a slipped disc and there are other things happening? Oh, yeah. You don't have a brain tumor. Happy to provide, to provide an update. Didn't think, honestly, anyone gave a shit, to be completely honest. I feel like I just, like, talk and babble about things that don't really make sense or matter. And I, thank you for caring. I do have An update, I have two discs in my neck that are displaced, aka, how they explained it to me was, if you squeeze a, a water balloon, and like, it has to go somewhere, like the water has to go somewhere, so it's basically like that, so like, it's just being pushed, the discs are being pushed elsewhere, the cartilage or whatever. And that's what's going on. And it's hitting the nerves, and the nerves that they're hitting on that particular part of the spine is my hands at the back of my arms, which makes sense as to why my hands were going numb, because they're just being like, the nerves are being like, hit, like a, like a pinball machine kind of. Yes. Does that make sense? Yes, it does. Which makes sense because actually sometimes when I crack my neck I feel it in my fingertips. So it's just, it's all making sense now. the I thing, I don't really know what that is. But I did go to a doctor. My primary care because my, you know, I need some Adderall or something. Like, yeah. I have to get a Psych eval and I'm scared I will never see the light of day again. I feel like I'm gonna get in a straight jacket. What I would pay to get the results of that Psych eval. I'm like, I have to think about it. I have to think about it first. No, you have to just answer honestly, Colleen. Stop pre lying. About your own mental health. This is part of the problem. She was like, okay, you just have to schedule a psych eval. Sorry? What is this, Shutter Island? I'm just Leo? I'm just telling you that my brain can't go the correct ways. I actually said, I go, my cousin literally said something needs to be done. This is insane. Um, and she, that doesn't mean anything to her, obviously, like, you know what I mean? Like, that doesn't mean shit. I'm like, no, you don't understand. I got a referral from my cousin who said shit ain't right. It's not normal. But then I said to her, I was like, yeah, well, when I'm at work, like I genuinely can't go through my emails or type a sentence without having something fully blasting at full volume in my ear to focus on. Like, I, I physically, like, need screamo music in my ear to focus on something else. Like, I need to be over stimulated to be focused, and that is simply not normal. And she was like, Uh huh. Okay, so we're gonna, like, find a skinny steak and I, I really want you to do it. No, I am. And I really want you to be honest. But my T is that, not that anyone gives a shit, but I need it to be covered by insurance, so I have to find one that's covered. Because I ain't paying 500 for someone to tell me I'm cooked. I know I am. I know I am. Thank you. Oh, I can't wait for the results. Uh, no other tea They told me that I had to go see a pain specialist. Like please why am I 100 years old? I'm not in pain for the record. no, but that's why you take care of these things. Yeah So they were like, yeah, like we can just we'll give you some medicine So I'm taking some medicine, but might have to get an epidural into my spine What like a whole ass pregnant person? Yeah, they have to put like something like about to give birth pregnant person No, so I learned the epidural is just like the neat like the act Oh, the needle in the spine. That's what an epidural is. I thought an epidural was like pain medication. It's the same. It's not. It's like the act of like using that needle to put something in is an epidural. So yeah, they're gonna put something in my cartilage with an epidural. Wow, and that's tea. We're gonna learn a lot in 2025, aren't we? We really are. I was like, can you stop like putting the bones in front of me like with the skeleton? Yeah, don't just do it. Don't tell me about it. That's inside of me. So I don't like that. thanks for your concern. I'm fine. I promise. That's really good to hear. Yeah, the people will be happy. Can I just say I reached out to some of our Some of my closest friends who are die hard zippers and never miss an episode kind of thing and don't get upset if I didn't Ask you I don't like to pester people and I don't want to be annoying And so if I've asked you before I didn't ask you But I just want to give the people what they want Like are you hearing the types of topics you want whatever and I asked because after the Anastasia episode I was like, oh have I done too many of those? Do we need to spice it up? Do we need to mix it up? So it's just like what do you guys want to hear? These are the responses I got back and it's so fucking funny. I'm so excited. Someone wrote, what's our beef with China? Interesting. Someone wrote, global warming and how we got into this shitstorm. Then a bunch of historic events that have happened. And then I got a bunch of messages about how people loved the Anastasia episode. And I was like, here I am thinking we're annoying, when really, we just found our people. Yeah. Like, we have found the demographic. You make history fun. I love you sippers. Here I am so, borderline self conscious, like, are we doing the right thing? And people are like, more! Yeah, but also, like, if someone was like, what was your last podcast episode about that has never listed? And you're like, the Romanovs. Like, they would be like, uh, literally okay. For a podcast that does so many different types of topics and covers so many things and probably doesn't do it well and does it giggling the whole time even when things aren't funny. Yeah. We somehow found our people who enjoy that sort of thing. Hashtag blessed. So love you Sippers. Appreciate that we have somehow become a podcast of taking a very large topic that's hard to understand and boiling it down for the girlies. For the girlies. That's all. For the girlies and the gays and the strays. Yeah. And the straight men we can trust with our drinks. Yes, ma'am. Okay. I have random thoughts. Go for it. I didn't do anything, by the way. I was extremely uneventful. But if I do have to watch Fiona and Erin do another puzzle or play Yahtzee, I am gonna kill myself. Oh, okay. That's a little dramatic, but got it. There's been, I've been staring at the same puzzle on our, on our coffee table for two weeks now. How many pieces is it? Too many. Too fucking many. Like, no. Just simply no. It's just not for me. I made a vision board. Okay. Yeah. What's on it? It's, it's very like, so here's the thing. Can we have a picture of it? Yeah. Okay. I made them, I made them at work. But I also like don't, I was like, gang, it's not for work. Like this is just like for funsies. and some people are like, you know, it's like goal oriented towards like work and also life, and mine is like Multiple pictures of Fran Dresser and there's a picture of, Nicole Kidman from Practical Magic smoking a cig. it's the Carmelis Pranos on there. Like, I'm like, alright, so I'm there, we go to present them. And I'm like, so mine's just like, vibes. Like Fran's eating, Fran's eating pasta. Like, were you a Fran Dresser girly? Like, did you watch The Nanny when you were growing up at all? Loosely, yeah. Like, I watched it. I think you would really like it. A picture of, what's her name, from Golden Girls. Her just being like this. Yeah. No, no, not Sophia. The other one. Oh my God. What's wrong with me? I love the Golden Girls. Not Blanche. Whatever. It doesn't fucking matter. But she's just like totally Rose. No, the other one. The fourth one. Dorothy. Oh my, yeah, so a picture of Dorothy and she's just like this. And a picture of Jennifer Aniston that says, of course I'm picky, I know my worth. Because it's time to be picky and know our worth. Yes. Um, my engagement ring I want is on there. Oh. my Vegas wedding's on there. Uh, Ireland's on there. Jackson Hole, even though I'm already going there, so I don't know why that's on my vision board. A bunch of other random shit. When are you going to Jackson Hole? So random. In March. For what purpose? For funsies, I'm gonna find Cowboy. This is the first I'm hearing of it. This is so exciting. I just booked my flight the other day, but it was 900. That really hurt me. Yeah, that hurts. But it's okay. That hurts. who are you going with, friends? Yeah, the girly pops. Oh my they don't matter. They don't fucking matter. Are they skiing and snowboarding and stuff? Yeah, they're skiing, but I don't care about that. No, who cares? Have a great time on the cold ass mountain. I'm looking for a cowboy! But like, get into a really cute outfit and go and sit in the lodge. Correct. I got my fur ready. I'm gonna have to take multiple bags because I got Coats. Oh. Coats. Lots of coats. Just wear them on the plane. I know you booked Spirit. Just wear them on the fucking plane. I didn't. I booked American. Oh, well look at you go. Right? Onwards and upwards in the world. And you know why? Because Spirit would never be nine hundred fucking dollars. Yeah, you know why? Don't. Because they charge you for fucking breathing when you get on the plane. I would pay 20 and let Aaron sit on my lap if I had to. Like, I don't care. Get me on the plane. Strap me to the wing. Fair enough. But, watch Southern Hospitality. It's a slay. It is. It do be a slay. Three seasons. What is it? Is it a reality show? Yeah, it's like Southern Charm, but one of the girls One of the girls on Southern Charm, Leva, she's a baddie, she has a bunch of clubs on King Street in Charleston, and it's about her employees. And, very Sir Vanderpump rules for Lisa Vanderpump. I would highly recommend. Watch three seasons in like a week. Very easy to watch. Wow. Okay. The tea is teeing. It's piping. Yeah. It's piping hot. It's giving. It's piping hot. We must discuss ACOTAR. We must! Okay, so that means you must be in it now. So Because you said that very enthusiastically. So like, I get it now. So these are my thoughts. One, I forget that they're like You know, fairies, and then all of a sudden they'll be like, Oh, his pointed ears. And I'm like, why the fuck does this guy have pointed ears? And then I'm like, oh, wait. Or it's like the wing that you can't like flick or else he like gets hard. It's crazy. It's crazy. Do you know what I mean though? Like if you're thinking about it in the grits. No, I pretty much remember that the whole time I'm reading it. It's kind of like the whole world that they live in that's described. Because if I take a step back and I'm like, Oh, you're talking about stroking this man's wing and he orgasms. This is insane. Like this is not, my brain can't get there, but I'm also obsessed at the same time. So I understand. Justice for Lucien? Question mark? Justice for Lucien. He's all I think about all the whole time. Like something happens. I'm like, okay, but what about Lucien? You're, okay. First of all, it's illusion. I hate to be that bitch, but it's illusion. Wait, you remember that one, that other book that I loved and there was a loose, uh, illusion. Yes. That sounds so ugly. Lucian's so much better sounding. Lucian. Oh, another thing, I've been on, I've seen so many TikToks being like, me on like 90 percent through the book going like, over every word that I can't pronounce. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, that is me, because I'm pretty sure I say Parenthean. And it's like, something else. But, because I put an N where it literally doesn't exist, and I realized that the other day. So I listen to everything on Audible, so I never have to second guess who and what is happening. I think I come up with my own names at this point. Do I even want to ask you who you think the main characters are and what their names are? Rhysand? Is that how you say it? Rhysand. Okay, it's funny you say that because It's right? No, because I get confused because I know someone named Rhys, but in my brain Rhys is R E S E. She does call him that. Yes, so I say, but I still see his full name as Rhysand instead of Rhysand. Rhysand. Like, that's so ugly. Okay, well, I don't make the rules that's just character. Like, you don't see that in like, linguistics, bitch. I don't know. Like. I don't, I'm obsessed with Rhysand, so. No, I don't. I don't give a shit what his name is. Call him whatever the fuck he wants. Yeah, call it Shadow Daddy. Like, whenever they were like, oh, he has tattoos on his kneecaps, give me him. Give, give him to me. As Brittany Broski once said, I need him biblically. That is. What did she say? Like, which is scary for feminism or like something in a way that the people are quaking. Yeah. Yeah Um, hate Tamlin was blinded just as much as everybody else. Everybody is always blinded by tampon As we call him but no, like he's really not that bad, but like he is, he is bad if you really about it. He locked her in a house. I know, but his intentions No, no, he didn't. He wasn't, he wasn't doing it that way, but like if he really her, her people hurt, her, hurt people. If he really understood her, he wouldn't have done that to her. That's love. That's not love saying, but he thinks it's so, why is that his fault? I will say, because I can hear Hillary screaming at me through wherever she's listening to this, her headphones, the radio, whatever it might be. Yeah. They are, I won't say anything about his character arc, but they are essentially setting him up to have a redemption arc. People are expecting there to back, doesn't she?

Kind of freaks me out. That's kind of why I like him. Ugh. Ew. I hate that. You know that at this point in all the books, I know the least about him. Okay. Everyone loves Cassian. Obviously. Cassian is like the golden retriever of the, the Batboys. Yes. As we lovingly call them. Yep. Yep. Which is so icky. I'm sorry. Yeah, that's okay. I'm okay with it.

There's more coming about her. Ugh, ew. In something. Is she damsel in distress? A little bit. A little bit. Not all the time, but a little bit. Okay, T. She just kind of loses it a bit and she just gets like really quiet and then she just says random shit and they're like what is going on with her and it all comes together but for a bit there I'm like Elaine. Figure something out. There's a war happening, girlfriend. Nesta can only protect you for so long. Please. Please. Yeah. Please. But, uh, you gotta read Aquorra now. There's a whole process. Cassian just wiped Nesta's tears and I was like, Ugh, please. Please! Is she not allowed to cry? No, she doesn't deserve him doing that. She doesn't. You don't like her at all. No, I don't. Cause every time I'm like, She's a tough one. So like, Feyre. Feyre? Feyre. I can't say any fucking name correct. Feyre. Feyre. Feyre, darling. every time she's talks about Nesta, she's like, yeah, but she's just, she's like that, but she's the most passionate and loyal to people who defend her and her people. Great.

I'm so excited you actually stuck with it. This is very, this is great. Oh, and also whenever they go to the place that, Moore used to live with her fucked up family. Oh, yeah. And they're doing weird shit on night court. I hated that. Hated that. Okay, I didn't hate it, but like, I loved it. But like, I also hated it. It's just like, why are we like, legit dry humping in front of a court? Yeah, Moore's family sucks. Yeah. That's a whole thing too. I love their squad. The squad's great. The squad's great. Whenever she's like more to, um, Farrah's like, is it really that awful to be part of our family? And she's like, no. I'm like, yeah, you paint that fucking bureau. And those are excited to talk more about it when you get past this part. And those are my thoughts. My other thought was I'm in a martini era. I had two Cosmos and was a drooling the other night, but anyways, I fucking love a Cosmo. I was saying to my girlfriends the other night. So much more now than ever do I appreciate a night out to get really yummy food. I don't care what that means in a strong cocktail. Two strong drinks in a yummy Italian meal. And a yap! Happy as a clam. A yap! A solid yap. Someone has fresh tea. It is reigniting a story about someone we've known for years. People are gasping. There's bread and butter. There's nothing better than beating a dead topic over again. Yeah, or if there's like a new piece of information and you go over the whole story again and like re assess as if you are detectives and somehow can That is Chef's kiss. Yeah. It's amazing. Stonin. a Colleen episode, so it makes me a little nervous. No, don't be nervous. It's a good, it's a good topic. It, the reason I did it is, I was prompted because you were, I sent you my notes of like my ideas, and you were like, so who the fuck do you think? people will know who that is. And I was like, no, you're right. Wait, really? Yeah. There was something in my notes that like, actually it was completely spelled wrong. So that's probably also why. Oh that, oh, that's why it was intelligible. It wasn't because it was a bad topic. It wasn't a topic. It wasn't a thing. I was halfway there. I spelled half of it right, half of it wrong, but it was like something I heard about somewhere and thought to write it down. Like one of those things that you were like, what? And I was like, does Bridget not know? She don't know. Maybe I don't know. I don't know. So we'll find out. Okay. We're going to talk about Miss Girl, Alfreda Knack. No, I don't know who this is. Okay, cool. I'm not telling you, so because I knew that you wouldn't know. Okay. Or I was hoping that you didn't know, I'm not going to tell you anything. Because if if I gave like A synopsis. Kind of, or like gave more to the title, like we're just going to bop around in weird places and then all of a sudden it's going to make sense. Okay, cool? Okay, Miss Elfrida, who I'm just going to call Frida because I don't really feel like saying her name this many times, as you can tell, given our past conversation. Like, I'm clearly not good with the names. Miss girl, she's 30 years old, she is from a very small town in Deerfield, Illinois. Like, I'm talking hella small. Like, 500 people small. No. So I had some perspective recently. I was talking to someone that was like, yeah, I'm from a small town. And I was like, no, like, same. How many people are small? Literally same. So I was like, no, same, mine's like literally a mile long, we don't have a grocery store. I looked at my population, 11, 000. Okay. He's like, no, like, I'm talking a thousand. There's a thousand people in my town. That's Two little people that's everyone's business. That's crazy. There are no secrets. That is your grade times ten Yes, maybe less than that. No mine. No, mine's way less. My grade was like 300 people. Yeah, so like that's crazy Yeah, that's insane. My my that's my high school and like my town is literally a square mile. I'm not kidding Yeah. Yeah. Sorry if this is like, just only new to me and like, not you guys, but crazy, 500 people is fucking insane. That's like a family gathering. That's wild. Like, that's crazy. We literally had that at my dad's party that we threw. Yeah. Yes. The disco was 500 people. Yes. Like, that is a town. Not so. That's my nightmare. Um, in Illinois, and I don't think it's, I believe it's not that far from Chicago, which is even crazier. So. Frida's family was very prominent in the town, even though it was very small. So she was one of nine children. But I also read They're the population! I know! So I That's a chunk. That's what? Like ten percent? I don't know. But I also read somewhere that two different places that she was one of eleven and then two other places that she was one of nine. So do it that way you will. She's got a lot of fucking siblings. Yeah, they were a big fat fucking family, that's all you need to know. Also my sources are a Crime Junkie podcast and also Reddit, that's it. That's simply it. It's really all we need. No, it is all you need. I love Barb Junkie. What more can we ask for? Shout out to Miss Girls. so she's one of a shit ton of fucking Duggar Vibe family, and she's the youngest. The youngest. So you have no clothes that are your own. You have no, you don't, you own nothing. Yes, but she doesn't give you know when like the youngest child is like, thinks she's that bitch? Annoying. She's not like that. Okay. She's not like that. Humble queen? Yeah. So she's a born to. Obviously both her parents, um, her dad's a doctor, Dr. Theodore Knack, and then her mom's name's Elise, kind of relevant. Um, he passed away in 1920, and he was iconic in their town. He was the first physician, he was the doctor, he created the first pharmacy, the only reason they had any sort of medical services is because of her dad. Um, and three of her brothers in particular were the ones that like basically run the town, like one runs the gas station, one took the whole pharmacy family business over, and the other one's like the town clerk. So like, the Knacks are Knackin Around Deerfields. The knacks are everywhere. Yep. Cool. You can't go anywhere without seeing a knack. She knacks be knackin The knack don't talk back. Um, so What the fuck? I don't know, just bear with me. Okay. She is a sweetie. She's a really shy, sweet baby angel gal. she was a teacher at first. That was like her first job. That was what she wanted to do. Okay. At first she's a teacher. Remember that? And she took a career change randomly. Uh, can't find out why. Could not figure out where, why. She chose to do this, but she did. she became an encyclopedia sales girl in Chicago. Like, door to door for sweet little shy Frida. She was doing door to door sales. Um, she's so cute. So that's Frida. Talk about building character. I know. Jesus Christ. You're dealing with grubby, fucking screaming children. And then you're like, no, you know what? Let me take even a harder hit. Encyclopedias door to door in this small ass town and around Chicago hit the sales signs very do you know your foot in the door that phrase? Yeah that came from I used to teach this all the time when I had a Other job where I was basically teaching people sales who were first job out of college and getting your foot in the door It was a phrase used by door to door sales salesmen and they were usually selling vacuums And they would have, like, a bunch of shit in their pocket, in their, like, pants pocket. And so when they opened the door and said, I'm selling vacuums, and the person was like, no, no, no, no, thank you. They would shove their foot into the door to make sure it couldn't close, put their hand in their pocket, and then throw the shit on the floor. And then the person would be like, well, what the hell? And then they would show them how the vacuum worked, and people would buy it. What a tactic and people so like the whole moral the story is like first of all don't fucking be like that Yeah, ever but second of all door to door selling maybe the Jehovah's should take a no I got Jehovah's just starts throwing calendars in there and be like, none of this is real. Fuck your holidays. You don't have a birthday. So that's Frida. That's all you need to know about her at the moment. We're going to sidebar her, put her to the left. Okay. Miss Frida to the left, to the left. Got it. We're going to move a town over. Okay. Town over. We are going to Lake Bluff. Just a small, very small town vibes. Cute name. Yeah. Right. Sounds very Nancy Meyers. Lake Bluff, Illinois. It's October 30th, 1928. To like, a long time ago. Yeah. Long time. Where did you come from? Where did you come from? My brain went to, a long time ago when the earth was green. God, we're so mentally ill. Please continue. It's 7. 30 in the morning, we got our guy, Barney Rosenhagen. Okay? Barney is 62 years old, he is the chief of police, but also does literally everything else in the town. Of course he does! Because we are in a Lifetime Original movie. He was like The town crier. He is, uh, the town, like, he, the fixer upper. Yeah, he's everybody. He just, he does all the fucking things. He's plumbing, he's carpentry, he's sewing, he's got the bank, he fights fires. He's collecting pensions and pensions and pensions, basically, is what I'm saying. He delivers the mail. Barney. Barney. Barney was that bitch. He arrived at what they called the village hall, which was in their small ass town. The police department, the town hall, the fire station, all of, like, literally everything you need to know about this town is in this one place and it's called village hall. I would love to do one month in a place like that. Not long term. Like Gilmore Girls? Yeah, to just get that vibe, get that community, but I couldn't do it full time. No. No. We need, like, the little, like, close enough to the city, like, where there's life. Yes. Uh, but to, to touch it for a little while would be cool. Yeah. he, I literally wrote, he was that bitch. And so He arrives at 7 30 in the morning like just a normal day at the village hall and alongside this guy Chris He's 50 year old They call him like a municipal worker. He's basically like the town worker like the fixer upper He's like his right hand man like fixes fucking plumbing and does all the shit, right? Cool So they both arrive at this building 7 30 in the morning and they walk in and they're greeted with a weird chill They're like why the fuck is it so cold in here? This is odd. Like we were just here last night Something's off. So they think the furnace is out. So Barry's like, Chris, get that fucking ass. You're the, you're the municipal worker. Get that ass to the basement and figure out what's going on and fix it. So he sends him to the basement to investigate. And so Chris ventures into the furnace room. They have to go outside. There's no direct, like, basement. You have to go outside and then in through a separate entrance. It's the only entrance into the furnace room. So he goes down to the furnace room and he reaches a staircase at the back of the building. He uses his keys. He unlocks the chain. A whole ass, like, old school chain that's around both of the doors. Right, right. And, he opens his hello doors and he goes down. He steps into this wicked small furnace room. It's super dim, there's no lights, he hasn't hit the lights yet. But he sees a dark shape in the corner and it scares the living shit out of him. It's standing partially upright and it kinda looks like a person in a cloak. Okay. Okay. He shits himself. He is like, what the fuck?'cause it's locked. So it's like no one's intruder. Yeah. How the fuck does someone get in here? So what? Like, what the fuck is that? So his brain is immediately like, oh my god. Intruder. Yes. No ghost. So he runs off the fucking, this 50-year-old, multiple worker runs up the stairs and he's screaming a ghost. There's a ghost in the basement. I have seen a ghost. He's freaking like he's shitting his. Yeah, fair enough, honestly. Barney's like, shut the fuck up. please. Not today, Chris. Not today, Chris. I got, I got shit to do. I got some shit to do. I have seven jobs to work today. The people are my problem, not you and your ghost, basically, is what he says. So, Barney's like, chill, brother. There's no way that anyone, anything's down there. Like, I know for a fact that I locked it when I left last night. I know that you just read that verbatim off of your sheet, because that's how you wrote it. Partially, yeah. I literally wrote Barney's like chill brother. That's what I wrote. Second half was all me. She's so smart and quick. Young and spry. There's simply no way. He left around like 9 p. m. the night before, and he knew for a fact that he locked it. He's like, I don't have Alzheimer's, like, I locked the door, so shut up. And so Barney's like, come on, fucking Chris, let's go check it out. So they follow each other back into the room. He braces himself because he's like, okay, I guess maybe something's happening. But as they enter, they find that the dark shadow is just waving at them, casually waving at them. No, with a hand? Yeah, just a little wave. Just a little wave. And the dark figure spoke and said, I'm cold. Oh my god. Get that sweet girl a blanket. Spoiler alert, the woman is in fact our girl, Frida. Okay. Uh, Frida. Why is she in the furnace? And they're obviously like, what the fuck? But, because, when they approached, they were horrified to find that she was Naked and covered in burns head to toe, but she's still standing up standing Keep in mind when I talk about what the rest of her body looked like the fact that she's standing is fucking crazy also trigger warning. Oh, sorry. Yeah, I forgot people are not like Equipped to, listen to that on a normal day. Uh, gonna talk about some, some burning, not great things. So, skip, like, 30 seconds forward. Okay? Cool. See you then. She is burnt to the bone like her bones are sick. Oh my god. No. Oh, no, no, no No her burns like arse. Oh my god. Her feet are gone her heels You can see the her heel. Oh my god. Oh my god. she has no hair on her head, and her head is so burnt to the point where they can see her skull on her forehead. Oh my god, Colleen. Her elbow bones are out. Her hands are legit nubs and she's like crisp. That's why they thought she was a dark figure She was completely burned to the point where her skin was literally charred and she they can see her knuckles And so Barney's like what the fuck so he wraps her in a blanket which also like no wonder you're cold sis You have your bones are out. You be your bones be out. You're cold, but also like with that hurt. Oh my god I'm so horrified. You would be an excruciating pain. I'm saying excruciating and she's just like hi, I'm cold. Oh Honey, right Like, no wonder you're cold. Like, sis, you need your limbs and your skin back. What do you mean you need some water? You need to sit the fuck down. You're standing upright. I know. So, our friend Barney does in fact share a description of what he sees from his POV with a journalist, and he says, She was standing naked, leaning against a pipe in front of the furnace. Her forearms were burned black, the hair was burned from her head, and her face and her forehead were black with charred flesh, the skull being laid bare at her forehead. Her fingers and toes had burned to cinders, and yet she was still standing. The strangest part was there was no sign of fire. It was so fucking cold in that room that the furnace, like, the furnace wasn't on. What is going on, Colleen? That's the point. So no, and there's no smell. Think about you coming across a burnt anything. You burn toast for like 30 fucking seconds. The smell, imagine a whole ass human body. No, it would be, there's no smell, unimaginable, nothing. There's no smell, no signs of fire. Literally nothing other than her burn body. That's it. Okay, so the doc comes and they whisker off to the ho hospital obviously, because what the fuck else you supposed to do? Um, so the, what we have on scene left is this police officer, his name's Eugene. Okay. Remember Eugene. Yep. Barney. And Chris. And they're all standing there in this small ass furnace room and they're like, what the fuck's going on? So they're assessing the scene, just trying to figure out what the fuck's happening. There's two furnaces in the room, okay? One is to warm the water in the building and the other one actually warms the building. Okay. Fair enough. I didn't know that that was a thing that happens. I thought it was all the same. hmm. Mm hmm. They are super small. Like, four feet. She's like normal height, five feet, five two ish. And they're like four feet tall. They're wicked small. Neither, or a sort of chamber that you could just like walk in and out to. Like it's not like someone shoved her in by accident, locked her in there, that like burnt her. There's like no reasoning for her to have been in the furnace at all. It's not like the Walmart, the lady at Walmart that got locked in the oven and was like cooked. Right. It's not like that type of situation, you know what I mean? So near the furnace, they find her shoes, her purse, and a watch all placed carefully right next to the furnace. They're not even singed. Nothing. Not a speck of anything on them. And they find her, her camisole shirt behind the furnace. Okay. But nothing else. Okay. And also, why was Miss Girl stark naked? Like, it, literally, there's not one piece of the scene that makes sense. Well, you would assume it would, it was burnt off, is my first thought. Yeah, I mean, yes, but Majority of her burns were on the places of her, like, her arms, her legs, and her head. It was never more of, like, her core. Like, her core was, obviously, had some, like, it spread, you know? But it wasn't, like, that was, like, the hot place, you know what I mean? Yeah. But she was stark naked. There was also bloody footprints everywhere, like, someone was pacing around the room as if they couldn't get out, which is odd. Very weird. Another item of interest were Clear handprints on the outside of the furnace. Now, it's not on the handle It's above the furnace door and it's two sets of handprints They were widespread and they were held as if they had clear pressure on them Like you could tell someone was gripping it really hard or pushing on it really hard like Clutching for dear life type of thing. And they said all the investigators that came to the scene said it was the first thing you saw when you walked in the room with the handprints on the furnace. Okay. Which is strange. They also found burned flesh on the coils around the furnace, which made it seem like she was holding onto them. Like it was as if her hand was on them and her hand was burning while she was holding it. Um, so they immediately thought it would be like, Oh, she was probably struggling with another person and that's why all these markings are there. She's like trying to push herself out or like push herself in. But, the furnace doors are literally the size of a printer paper. Like 11 by 7. Like it's so small. Yeah. It's not like you were aggressively, even if someone was like knocked out, like it's It's not body size. You can't just like casually shove a person in. It's not like that. Yeah. she's skinny. Is she Daenerys Targaryen? Like, what is happening? Oh, you don't watch Game of Thrones. You don't know what I mean by that. No, but, like, does she just, like, teleport? No. She really skinny? She has a dragon, and she's skinny. But it's not the point. Please continue. Like, she's skinny, but she's not that skinny. That's, like, you know, that's, like, goal inches, you know? Good lord. With the markings that she had on her body, she would have had to put each of her body parts In one by one, like dipped in. No. So it's like What? Question mark? there were the items outside the furnace, right? But investigators found her bra and her dress burnt in the furnace. And they find the metal clasps of the bra. Cause obviously they don't, they don't melt. So they're, they're also in there and they find the remnants of all the other stuff she was actually wearing other than the shoes, the purse. The camisole. Yes. And she was supposed to have been wearing a blue coat with fur trim, blue fur trim. Okay. Baddies. But the buttons were bone. So the buttons should have been in the furnace if the coat was. So where the fuck is the coat? The coat was never found. But she was wearing it 100%. She left the house in that that day. Her sister confirmed it. She was doing door to door. She needed a coat. Like she had the coat on. You know what I mean? Yeah. She also had a hat on that had like a metal piece on it. That was never found either. What is going on? Yes. Yeah, yeah. It doesn't make an ounce of sense. Now, the one thing that they were looking for, obviously, other than her identity and all that stuff, because they figured that out because her purse was there, but they were looking for a key. Because, like, how the fuck did Ms. Girl get in there? Right. That was, like, their number one thing. So, the door was locked, and also It was the only way in and out of the room, there was no windows either. So it's not like some, there's literally no other way she could have gotten into the room. And, why would this random ass woman, with no ties to this town, from a completely different town, have a key also? Yeah, it makes no sense. Simply not making any sense. Uh, spoiler alert, they don't find one, which makes even less sense as to how she got in. And also, they confirm that the door locks from the outside. So she couldn't have locked it behind her.'cause it's the, it was the old, it was the old school lock, right? Unless someone put her in there and locked it and walked away. Correct. Turns out she actually did have a key, but it was at, oh, she did, it was at her apartment. So when they searched her apartment, they found the key, but so it wasn't on her. Why would she have a key? We'll get there. Oh my god, this story! So, pause that. Let's talk about Frida's timeline. On the day before, before she was found, of course, so it's the 29th, at 6. 30pm, this is all the things that they can confirm. She had just finished giving a great presentation, sales presentation, sales girly, she called her sister right after, told her she would come home soon, she bought a train ticket from Chicago, where she was based at that moment, to Highland Park, where she could get a bus to Deerfield, where she lived. Right. She did make it to Highland Park because her ticket was checked and stamped. Then the only other thing they could find is that she made a phone call to Lake Bluff and purchased a round trip ticket to Lake Bluff instead, which was kind of weird. she was not obviously seen or heard from again until they found her the next day. But why, who or what, or why was she in Lake Bluff is the question. And why was she at Village Hall? What man is penpalling her? People were thinking that maybe she came for a sale, like a last minute sale, because she was, she was actually the top salesperson. Bad bitch. Yeah. In her Chicago office. Which is a fair point. Maybe that's possible. Now, two things. One, the call that she made to Lake Bluff from the train station was actually to the police station where she was found. Say that again. So, the number she called was to Lake Bluff. When they ran the number back, it was to where, the Village Hall. That's where she called. But like to who, to what, to where, to why, I don't know. And number two, now remember I said she was a teacher. She was taking speech lessons in another nearby town called Waukegan. This is where she met this man named Charles Hitchcock, aka Hitch, who was the teacher of the speech class she was taking to better. Get better language, whatever. Hitch was a 45 year old man who was married and he had children and he lived in a very small town called Lake Bluff. And it was just two blocks down from Village Hall, the police station. Hitch became a silent film producer and he had his time in the spotlight. He was an actor for a hot minute, being that bitch. He even shared the stage with Charlie Chaplin. But he decided, you know, Hollywood's not for me. And I stayed, he stayed in Lake Bluff and proceeded to Live the small town life, and he becomes the nighttime policeman. Of course he does, because who else is there to do it? But he's like, no, I don't want to be famous and be in Hollywood. Couldn't be me. Yeah, let's, let's stay at home and be a night owl. Okay, you fucking creep. Sure. when this all went down, The police did question Frida's mother and was like, well, what's the tea with our mans here? Do they have a relationship? What's going on? And he, she stated that no, they have no relations. He was her teacher. Maybe there could have been a little bit more going on between them, but I'm rolling my eyes. You can't see me, but I'm rolling my eyes. No, yeah. It was confirmed that she did come and visit him at Village Hall quite frequently. Like she was a frequent visitor. Oh, you don't say. And you know what's even better? What? He was scheduled to work that night. Sick. However, our guy Hitch completely denied having any sort of relationship with Frida because that's what men do, because men are trash, and according to him, he had been nothing, she had been nothing more than a student. He did give an alibi, I will say. He gave an alibi. Was it his mother? No. So he had been in a cast for days because he had a broken ankle, so he was like laid up in bed, which also like. I know it's not their fault and like, this is ridiculous, but like, why is a man with a broken bone an ick? In a cast. Yeah. A man in a cast. Ick. Like, can't you just bear it? Can't you just grit and bear it? I, I can't. Can't you just shut the fuck up and walk? I was actually talking to a guy at work the other day, this is so unrelated, I'm gonna go off topic, I'm sorry, but I don't care, and he was saying how he was skiing and he was like, me and my kids, we always made fun of the people that had to get like taken down by the ski. Oh yeah. Like it's so icky. Like their head has to be backwards and like their feet are up and they have to like go down the mountain. And he, uh, swerved out of the way for somebody and he fucked up some shit and he heard a crunch and he was like, oh fuck. Fuck. And so he was like, I was fully intended on scooching down on my, on my butt the whole way by myself. And someone stopped him. It was like, you literally can't do that. Like you have to come with me. And so he wheels down whatever he goes to your liability that cause someone else could hit you and they could get, but he was like, I was dead set on like, not, I'm not going to go down like he's not like right now he's old, but this was probably like within the past 10 years. So he's probably like in his late forties or fifties. Like he's like not a young whippersnapper, you know, but he's also like, he's fit. an active Yeah. Yeah. And so he was like, I've refused. And he went to the hospital. and they were, it was the day of, I think, the pass around. It was like, maybe not Super Bowl, but it was like a playoff game. And they literally were like, he's fine. Like, he has an, he has a sprain. Like, he's good. He just wanted to watch the game. His leg was broken. He proceeded in life for like two weeks with a No. He was walking the dog. Like, he had a broken fucking leg. Where are those men today? Where are they? And he was like, yeah, I kept being like, ow. He was like, at one point my foot and like my ankle, like it turned blue. It turned blue and black and I went to go see my mother who was a nurse and she was like, they told you that's a sprain? And they go to the hospital and he was there for two minutes and they were like, yeah, it's broken in like four places. Are you f Oh. My. God. He was going to work, moving things, walking the dog with a broken leg. No. Men used to go to war, and now they're making, now they're making TikToks. Now they do TikTok. And they play video games with a headset on. I'm physically ill. And they do, they go to war on video games. Like literally. Get that ass. Get that ass out there. Get yourself a gun. Do something. I don't know. It just pisses me off. Sorry. Don't get a gun. Yeah, sorry. Sorry. You know what I meant. For war purposes. Not, not, not for fun. Not for leisure. Not for leisure. I'm sorry. That's not what I meant. Anywho, oh, he has a broken ankle, that's why we're talking about that. Yeah, Mance has a broken ankle, so he's on bed rest. And his doctor did confirm it, and I feel like a doctor wouldn't lie, you know, like, HIPAA or whatever. And HIPAA doesn't mean you can't lie, Colleen. HIPAA means you can't spread the tea, which is so annoying. I hate it when our friends are like, HIPAA. Please. Hitch's wife says no We had nothing to do with as I've no dear talking about His whereabouts the thing is she was at work. Like she can't She's like, no, he was home. Like, I swear, when I got home, he was home. Like, okay, you were at work the whole night, bitch. So it's like really not an airtight alibi. They're kind of like, mm, okay, but like, whatever. So let's pause that again and let's check on Frida. Okay, how how Let's see how she be doing. I'm assuming not well. The doctor has seen her. Uh, she has third degree burns on 30 percent of her body because it's her Not her full body, like I said, like her core was like, not really touched. That whole sternum. I don't fucking know, I'm not a doctor. The heat left all of And completely incinerated her fingers and her toes. And there was such deep tissue damage that her No, no, I actually need you to just skip. You want me to skip? I don't. Yeah, I'm good. Oh, okay. The bones were out. That's all you need to know. So she's not doing well, dog. Great. But to note is that she had a burn mark on the back of her head, like on the back of her neck, because it had rested on the boilers coals around the race. So it's almost like she shoved her head in and that's where the marks on her neck where we're around the boiler, which is going on a question mark. So it's not sly. She was in and out of consciousness for a couple of days. And she was babbling absolute nonsense, obviously because they had her on a bunch of medication, and she also has no idea where the fuck she is or what's going on. During this time, she does say a bunch of weird things, because police are kind of trying to figure out, like, what the fuck happened, why were you there, was anyone there with you, blah blah blah. Yeah, how'd you get in? Yeah, but also you can't really take what she's saying, like She's on meds. She mutters over and over again. I did it. It was me. They ask her who was with her in the room and she says no one. I was alone. She would utter weird things like oh hitch my hitch and he pushed me down and she kept saying why did they do it? Why did they do it? Um, they ask her if she's in love with Hitch, like, just trying to get the tea and she says yes and she tells them but their love affair was spiritual, it wasn't physical, the fuck, she's, yeah, something's happening, uh, she's denying, I mean, well, he denies all of any sort of relationship that he had so it's very he said she said but I don't know if he's like assuming she's just like gonna die, I don't know, they actually bring him to see her. Which is crazy. Yeah, but they give him a script and they're like, you can only ask these questions. Just get in there. We want to see her react to you. We just, we need to get a better idea. And so he goes in and he, she doesn't answer anything he says. She doesn't respond. She just kind of ignores him. But they're like, we can't gauge if it's because you're not well enough or you're choosing not to. Like, that's how unwell she was. And the only thing she answered was, He asked her, you didn't do this terrible thing to yourself, did you? And she says, no. And then she doesn't answer anything else. And then the very next day, she unfortunately does succumb to her injuries, and she does in fact pass away. But she made it three days. Fuck. So they got as much information out of her as they could. for the state that she was in. Oh my god, Frida. Yeah, Frida. So now that she has passed they're trying to be like, what the fuck, what can we do because this ain't right. They brought in their investigation, all of the investigators and they interviewed literally every single person that has linked to her. Everyone she knows, everyone she's come in contact with, everybody. They do have a few peeps that kind of like pan out kind of sus, but like They are not good enough to know honestly in this I read a bunch of different ones and they just they really don't go Anywhere, and they're kind of a waste of breath, but just know that there's no other known suspects They focus an investigation on the theory that she actually did it to herself. No Literally, no. Well No, Colleen. So they search her house and they find A few things that are kind of like, mm, okay. One of them was a book titled Christ in You, which, totally normal, live your life. inside was a passage that she had highlighted, underlined, and it says, As you unfold in the consciousness of God, many inexplicable things become clear. One is the purifying power of pain, and this process is called the refiner's fire. It basically says that if you're pure, If you cure yourself with fire, then you can be worthy of love, and that the only way that you can know God is through pain, like, pain is purifying. Is basically the point. They also find, they also find her diary. Okay. Which is her Hop off, sis. Yep. and they find a lot of dates and times that she writes about when she saw Hitch, and her feelings about him. Yeah, she obviously is having an affair with him. No, yeah, for sure. Like, for sure. Like, 100%. Yeah, yes, yes, yes. But she wants, she writes about like, obviously like, I have physical feelings for him. Like, she's very deep in the way that she writes. It's like, kind of an ick, to be completely honest with you. Like, she's like, I want to physically touch him. But it's not like, we did this, we did that. But the way she writes it, it kind of gives like, we had a conversation about this. Do you know what I mean? It's like, she writes about like, the presence of his wife, and like, kind of remorse and guilt about it. Like, she wasn't a bad person. It's not like she was like, an adulterer, but she was like, in love with this man. Yeah. But it's also kind of giving mental breakdown a little bit like something she writes are just the way she writes it I don't know if it was of the times or just her. It's just something's not right Someone does come forward a little while later Like a few years after she had passed and said that he was actually this person was working with her on some spiritual Hypnotic shit so she could get hitch in the love for hitch out of her brain. No, no, no, no No, yeah. No, it was weird There's like it was a whole weird thing, but it was like, okay that's tying into the fact that she was all about this pain is Pure, I don't know. She had like a weird earthy crunchy side to her that like didn't make any sense. So it was eventually classified as a suicide, but there obviously were a bunch of inconsistencies that prompted. Oh, really? And she had this big ass family that obviously cared about her. So her family You don't! Say it was murder. Murder! No, they they so they say suicide. They do say suicide Her fam is pissed obviously because they're like what the fuck and they hire a private investigator the doctor that she saw with all of her burns and such, said, He suspected foul play. He completely disagreed with everything they said. They were like, there's no fucking way. Yeah. Um, he actually told a private investigator himself, like, and I quote, To believe her story, you would have to believe these facts. That she placed her right foot in the furnace and kept it there for several minutes and that then she stood on the burned foot and put the other one in the fire after, which then standing on the two injured feet she put her head and arms into the fire upside down. There was no fucking way. The pain? Question mark? The pain. The absolute. No. There's no level of mental illness, mental strength, that would allow you to do that to her. Also, not for nothing, wouldn't you pass out? Wouldn't you be in shock? 100%. So that's why everyone's like, that's not possible. Like, of the most painful things a human being can experience is being burned while you're Think about when you touch your straightener or your curler for two seconds. That hurts so bad. Yes. Incinerating your whole, like, all of your extremities. Willingly. No fucking way. And investigators figured out that, like, she would have had to hold each one for at least five minutes. No. Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope. Immediately now. Your nerves would be like WTF. One foot and nothing else fine. Your hands, your feet, and your head absolutely not. To stand on them after they're burned. No. Absolutely not. No. I'm saying to point out what you already brought out in the first part is there was no burning smell. You would absolutely smell that. Smell her. The burning is weird. The smell. I mean like the lack of smell, like that's so weird. It's almost like she was just like placed there. Yeah. It just, nothing makes an ounce of sense. So people do come forward with false confessions as assholes do and they say that they're like responsible for her death. There's like a long list of, cause there was a reward out for her for any information. Yeah, don't care, you're a piece of shit. 100%. And why is that always the case too? the private investigator that they hired, they are never able to find any sort of information that could prove otherwise so they kind of had to like, let it sit in I can't even imagine. No. Not at all. The poor girl, the poor fam, her whole squad. And she was the youngest too, like that's so sad. Soon after all of this happens, Hitch resigned. I don't believe he did it by free will. I do believe that he was forced to resign. And then in the spring, the following year, he was arrested with his 17 year old son for burglary in Lake Bluff. With his son? With his son. Oh, so he's just a piece of shit. Yep. Very telling. His 17 year old son had to spend a year in jail while he got off free. Because he blamed him. No. Hm? No! You're fucking joking. What a piece of shit. He blamed the whole thing on his son? What did he say? I don't know. I couldn't find any details on that. But he blamed it on his son and his son did time and he didn't. I have no words. Your one job as a parent Is to protect. Nope. He didn't. Jesus Christ. Big woof. And then, spoiler alert, he gets a divorce. Oh! Shocking. Can't even imagine why. Uh, the tea and the way that Miss Frida hopefully came back and haunted this bitch's ass, but Fourteen years later, after she dies. Fourteen. Fourteen years. Her bestie, Marie, marries. Hitch, her bestie for the rusty they were in. No, they were in the speech classes together. No. She knew everything. And she marries him. Marries him. No. Yep. I hope she haunts that bitch's ass. What the fuck? Miss Marie was a whore. Hower. A Hower hitch does pass away in 1964, and then after he dies. He was with Marie when he died, Marie's niece comes forward and says that Marie actually confessed to having romantic involvement between herself, Frida, and Charles back in the day. So like, kind of tea, but also like Charles is Hitch. Yes, so they're having threesomes. Apparently, I don't know. That's what I would assume. That's the, that's the tea I got. But like also This is their teacher. But also like imagine your daughter saying that? Like this is her mother that she's talking about. Yeah, that's a little You know what I mean? That's a little strange. It's her mom and her Stepdad, right? Yeah. Jeans are weird. And she's underage. Yeah. Jeans are weird. Like why? Jeans are weird. Why spreading the tea? I don't know. I just didn't like that. Maybe she's saying it for clout. I have no idea. But like, take it with a grain of salt, I guess. Mm. She also claimed, this is why I also think it's for clout. She, she claims to know what happened to Frida in the truth behind it, but she has never Yeah. I'm saying. Now that they're dead? Why not spread the tea? Well, he's dead. She's not. Yeah. No one's gonna do any time for it. Why not tell us? I don't know. And give that family some fuckin peace. And he writes, refused to share any sort of details at all whatsoever. But she was like, I know, but I'm not sharing. Like, those are the worst type of people. Like, don't bait us. Don't say it and then not follow up. Yeah, I agree. You're just a dick. Yeah. No. Agreed. be like me. Share the tea. Well, nevertheless, those claims never came to anything, obviously. And then, even worse, in the 80s, so just yesterday, Just a mere moment ago, They circle back on the case, and they're like, Okay, WTF, what's happening? And they discovered that a shit ton of the evidence had mysteriously disappeared. After Barney's, after the death of Barney's successor, Eugene, so after he dies everything disappears. I wonder why. So Barney's obviously dead too, because he's old as fuck, but at this point. but Eugene took over and he became the chief and then after he dies everything disappears. That's nuts. That's tea. Um, and so fucking frustrating. He was the guy that, he was the only other person that was on site that day with the other two. So, which is interesting, like what y'all hide in. And everything that was missing was the coroner's report, the autopsy photos, all of them. And all of the items that were collected from the furnace were all gone. Something ain't right. The whereabouts of the items are still unknown, and it's been 40 years. sadly, what has happened to her is still a big question mark. I fucking knew this was not going to end week. I was like, what the fuck? There's just so many things to assess. The thought of someone actually burning themselves, no matter how spiritual, occult No, she was obviously held in there and then someone locked her in and left. But like, I don't know. I don't know, it's just not right. How was the furnace not hot? Also, I don't get it. Very strange for you to just wave. If you had just been burned so badly that you will eventually I mean, I don't think she could scream. You're just like, hey. Oh, that's true. She was whispering like hi. I'm cold. I would like water, which is crazy Do you have a windpipe at that point or is it burnt off? Can I have any help? Yeah I mean also you've been there all night like you're probably Hallucinating you're standing on nubs like you're probably also sit so great I just there's so many things that don't make any fucking ounce of sense. Why are you standing? Something ain't right. Something ain't right. And people say that if you walk by Village Hall late at night, you'll be able to see her. Wow. She haunts. She visits lately. Yeah, she'd be hauntin She'd be hauntin I fucking would too, are you kidding me? I would be haunting. Everybody. All of my kin. Hi, can I have a glass of water? You would never say that. You'd be like, Hi, can I have a diet Pepsi? You're working at the front desk at the police station at Village Hall. It's like, Hi, I'm cold. You're like, Who is? Who goes there? Can I have a sip of water? Tis me. Okay, that's the mystery behind Elfrida. Miss Frida. Wow. Elfrida Canack. Don't know where she is. Don't know what happened to her. But that shit is bananas. So what do you think? The Canacks beat Canacking. I think Hitch did it. I don't know. Follow the bouncing ball. I kind of think she burned herself. It was kind of crazy. Crazy. Crazy. After hearing the shit about her diary and that person that came forward that was like no, I worked with her on like hypnosis I kind of think she did it to herself and something was off. No, I think she was in love with her teacher and was desperately trying not to be. I mean, I think she was, for sure. I don't think that makes you burn yourself alive. You never know, human mind. Mmm, I think the married man with kids has a lot more to lose. That's fair. Than Frida. But also like there was a theory that it could have been her bestie because they were in love, the bestie and Hitch. A. K. A. Charles. Yeah, but usually you have to overpower someone to like how Much bigger was she were they the same size? I know but like the two of them together Conspiring could be to get rid of miss Frida. Have you seen that story on tik tok that people are losing their shit over? No I might get this wrong. I haven't seen it in a hot minute, but Basically, there was a wedding being planned in the briding room were obviously going on their basher and bachelorettes in on the basher party They went to a strip club and when they got back the bride was super uncomfortable with it with that and it became a huge Bone of contention to the point where They called it off and she basically was like that was a no no and he was like nothing happened. Nothing happened And I think they got dances He was like adamant that nothing happened and she was like, I just feel wronged And so she calls it off this man whole ass Is dating that stripper and moved in with her like a month after they called it off. Oh, nothing happened? What would you do? I don't know because like, And all of her friends were like, you're overreacting. No, I would do, I would tell them, I would tell her she was overreacting too. And she was like, this feels wrong, like something is incorrect. I mean, if you know him well enough to know that he's lying, then yes. But I would say to freak out about, I don't know, I don't know. I think a woman knows always. A woman always, I was just talking to one of my girlfriends recently. I'm not going to spill her tea, but she was like, such and such a thing happened. By his text the next day, I just knew there was a rift. Like I just knew this was the beginning of the end. The shift in behavior, the, the slow retreat. Every woman can see it coming from a mile away and you just know, you just know you've had one of those days where you're like, Oh, I was so fucking anxious that day. And I was like, I know something is wrong. Yeah. You just. No. Yeah, no. Women do not. And like, yeah, we for sure overthink a lot and sometimes we are absolutely insane with our overthinking, but like, when we're right, we're right. When we're right, we're right. I would rather blame and be wrong and apologize for being wrong than be naive. I agree. And be dumb. I'd rather be crazy than be dumb. I'd rather say, let's talk about this because it's really bothering me and hash it out than be like, oh no, everything's fine, nothing to see here, ignoring that gut instinct. My Spidey senses are tingling and I'm not going to listen to them. I've never gone through a phone though. I've gone, not of men, I've never gone through a man's phone. I've gone through a girl's phone. A couple times. That does not surprise me. And I was right, so, doesn't matter. That's the worst though because when you're going through the phone, you know you're going to find something. Yeah. That's when you know. The harmful quick search of your name? What people have to say about me behind my back is none of my business. I would not sleep. Okay, yeah, but like, think of this as like you had an inkling of a feeling about something, and it was, I don't even want to say Aaron because that's too close, but like, Amanda. Oh, one of my closest, closest friends. You would, you would confidently go through her phone knowing she would never say anything like that about you. Like, you wouldn't be like, what she says about me is none of my business. Amanda would never. It was like that to me. No, because she would say it's my face. That's what I'm saying. Like, I, I, it was like that. Mmm. I would never be purposely go through Aaron or Fiona's phone and search my name like I know I don't need to do that like there's no need but like I just something was off and I was like something and I I was right about what I thought it was and it just I was right that's all you need to know but like it was validated so do it go through the phone search your name I would I don't recommend it I don't recommend it it will not make you feel better it will only make you feel like shit It's none of your business, it's not gonna end well. But if it's that, if it's that close of a friend, then yeah, it is your business. If it's that close of a friend, they're not a friend. And that's another hard pill to swallow. The best type of friend is someone who talks you up in front of your face and behind your back. Yeah. And then when they have something to say that you need to change or they're trying to hold you accountable, they say it to your face and not behind your back. And they're like, bitch, sit the fuck down. I backed you in there, but I just want you to know that was fucking wrong, and you are incorrect, and I'm, I don't know what's going on, but we need to talk about it. That's a real friend. I agree. Anyone who's group chatting about you? Trash. If it's unwarranted. Cause you know what? I always feel like, and you'll know exactly what I'm talking about, I feel like sometimes when we do an episode and we say something like this, the wrong people take it the right way. And you're like, no, no, no, not you. Oh yes. Not you. Yeah. Yeah. That's not what I was referring to. Not you. The other one. Yeah. The other one. You know who? Yeah. No, sorry. Don't overthink that. It's none of anyone that listens. I fear. I'm not talking about like, it's not you. Yeah. It's definitely not our sippers. No. The people who aren't listening to this. Yeah. It's them. It's you. So if you're just tuning in now, bitch, circle back. Cause I probably talked about you and I'm just kidding. You know, what's another thing that We don't, not that we don't talk about it enough, but it is harder than people, I feel like realize is like when you give way too much effort all the time, because that's what you're just like trained to do as a person, like in friendships and like not work because I don't fucking work hard, but you know, let's get real here, and you just don't. I have two jobs, Colleen. I know, but I don't work hard at either one of them. You may not use your brain the whole time, but you work hard. You're underselling your work ethic. You know, I put my body through work, but that doesn't mean I'm working. Yes, thank you. I appreciate that. That's very kind of you to say. I definitely spend a lot of time at work, but do I give my full effort? No. Anyways. When you, like, stop and, like, really think about if you get, assess if you're getting back what you're giving to people individually and you're just simply not, do you know what I'm trying to say? So, a really hard part of growing up is what I call trimming the fat. And there is a point in your life where you will realize that you are giving a certain amount of energy that is not being returned. And It sucks because for a long time you're just like we've been friends forever or this has been someone who saw me through a bad time Or I have so much fun with this person and then the more you hang out with them the shittier you feel They gotta go. Yeah, it's hot. It's so shitty because if you asked me when I was 25 How many best friends I had, I would have gone off and listed 60 people. It turns out, quality over quantity. You need a handful of really, really, really good people, and everyone else is icing on the cake. Not everyone else should be held to the same standard as the, as the A team. If you will. And then you give less to the Bs and the Cs. And you're not any less yourself, you're just not gonna give a hundred when someone's giving twenty. I know. It's just not fun. I copy energy. It's not sly. Cause I think that if I did that, I'd be really low energy, and that really saddens me. You know? What do you mean? Like I just feel like I'd be cutting a lot. Like if I really sit down and think about it, There's a lot of people who fall into that category. Yeah. Why do they deserve your energy then? I don't know. Think of it as like a gas tank. So you're giving people gas and emptying your tank for what? I don't know. What do you get in return? I don't know. Like, I think sometimes maybe it makes me feel better. I don't know. It takes an assessment, but like, I just, I, I feel, I feel like other people feel the same way. That's why I'm saying it out loud, you know? A hundred percent. T. it's one of the hardest things I've had to do in my life, is come to terms with where certain people stand in my life and what that means. And cut ties or spend less time with people. It's hard. Boundaries. I don't like it. It's not slay. Yeah, you gotta teach people how to treat you. Oprah said that once. I love Oprah. Love Oprah. Bring her back. She hasn't really. Well, I guess she kind of. She has her network, but. Yeah, she like sits pretty on her network. We should do Oprah. Oprah Winfrey as a story? Yes. Uh, done. Kind of like Martha vibes. Literally done. I am obsessed with Oprah. Okay, cool. Because she has a good backstory, too. Yes, she does. She, talk about a baddie. Okay, your eyes just sparked, so that sounds like that's for you. Yeah, I love Oprah. I mean, I do too, but So, I don't have positive stories of the week, but what I will say is that we will be posting ways to help the people in L. A. from these horrible, horrible fires. The first responders, the firefighters who are incredible, the incarcerated people who are working for like six fucking dollars a day, the volunteers, people who have given clothes and water and their homes, and I, these types of things are so tragic, and watching all these people lose their homes is awful and what's happening to the planet, the only silver lining of all of it is what you see humanity do afterward in the way people have stepped up and given everything that they have. So whether you can help donate clothes or Venmo someone will, we'll put a bunch of options up so you can do what you can, but it just gives me hope for humans even though the world is literally on fire. It's a dumpster fire. Quite literally. 2025 dude, you're off, you're off to some sort of start. What do you feel about TikTok about b band? It won't happen. How are you doing? It simply won't happen. Oh, we're there. No, it won't happen. Oh, okay. We're packing our bags, if not. Okay. We are in Dulu lu land. Yeah. Dulu lu. I heard it might get, uh, pushed back. Okay, hit me on Instagram Reels, then. You could not catch me on fucking Instagram Reels if it killed me. I might have to. I, I would rather move to a different country. I'd probably just start watching a lot more reality TV, which I don't know if that's good for anybody, to be honest. I don't think that's a good idea. I at least get my news and like recipes and like cool things on my for you page. What am I gonna get from fucking reality tv? Well, did you see red note? Is the Chinese version of I don't like change but it's so funny because people are just taking over and all these Chinese people are being so nice so people will write in the comments because you know the comment section is the best part of tick tock obviously people are like how do you say who is this diva in mandarin and people are responding teaching people how to say like work bitch it's so funny It's so fucking funny. Who is this diva? So the Chinese are being really wonderful on Retino, but it has made the app so feral over the last couple days. Because what do we have to lose? Hey, we're shutting down, posting all my drafts and they're insane. If you've never opened TikTok in your life, now's kind of the time to do it. No, 100%. And then if it stays, it stays. And then you are in for a treat. Yeah, you really are. So we'll see what you'll be up to in two weeks or so. Oh God, help us and pray for us. Sorry, I was taking a big long swigaroo. As one should. Alright everybody, stay safe. Stay slay. Thanks for listening to us 99 times. 99. The next time we record, we will be triple digit bitches. 100. And maybe, and maybe, okay, whatever you're doing this episode, I hate it. It's giving me such the ick. we do have a special guest coming next episode. Oh yes we do! For our big 1 0 0. Oh that we do! So we're very excited. Oh whoa! More to come. Uh, but anyway, love you mean it! Love ya, mean it. Goodbye! Goodbye now!
