Hello, welcome back everyone to the podcast. It is Friday, dear YouTube, look, my episode that you decided to take down to say that it was too harmful, was about a story that the New York Post reported on, cnn reported on, cbs reported on, reported on, cnn reported on, cbs reported on. So I don't know what your problem is. Stop censoring. People, grow up. It was about that Sarko suicide pod, about the 64 year old woman. It's been a few episodes ago, but it's been in the mainstream news. So, dear YouTube, f off. I may have to go back to Rumble, all right, but go ahead. I'm going to go ahead and give some warning. Here we're going to talk about death today. So you know, if you want to skip over it, not listen, if you feel offended, you know, then skip it, move on to something else. All right, we are going to talk about the Menendez brothers. We're going to talk about this Walmart teenage worker oh, this is, that's a horrible story. And then we're going to talk about this again, this mass shooting in Seattle. This is horrible too. Oh, this poor 11-year-old girl, goodness gracious. Again from the New York Post. All right, here we go.

Speaker 1: 1:41

Survivor 11, 11 years old, of mass slaughter in lush Seattle suburb recalls mourning teen brother allegedly gunned down. Parents, three siblings she pretended to play dead. This is horrifying and so terrifying. This poor 11 year old girl has nothing left. Her whole family has been killed. Her brother is going to go to prison. I hope she has some other family members, goodness gracious.

Speaker 1: 2:26

The 11-year-old excuse me who survived a mass shooting inside her family's ritzy mansion in Washington State said she woke up to the deafening sound of gunshots just before her older brother barged into her bedroom and allegedly opened fire. She shared a bedroom with a younger sibling and the younger sibling, I guess, woke up, went out into the hallway to see what was going on and that's when the brother shot the. Look the little one. The young girl said she pretended to be dead, closing her eyes, holding her breath after she was shot in the hand and neck out of fear her brother would return to finish the job. According to charging documents released by the king county prosecutor's attorney's office, she told police her 15 year old brother used her father's silver handgun to shoot her parents, mark and Sarah Humiston, her two brothers and sister, to death Monday morning, suspecting his murderous rage came after he failed some tests at school and got into a lot of trouble, according to the emotional recap, and um so he, uh, she escaped through the bedroom window and then he tried to stage the scene, the murder scene, as though his younger, 13 year old brother was the one that shot the parents and then killed himself. He tried to stage it to look that way. Then the 15 year old called the cops to say that that's what happened, and he tried to say that his younger brother got caught looking at porn and that's what made him go off to kill a family and then kill himself. But that's not what happened. The their six-year-old sister, with whom she shared a room, was shot dead as she walked out of their bedroom and into the hallway. After she woke up after her brother, who was wearing a checkered shirt, allegedly shot her twice. He then left the room and leaned over the three lifeless bodies in the hall to touch their necks and chest to see if they were alive. She recalled witnessing. So if she laid there to pretend to be dead, how did she see this? Maybe she was peeking her eyes open, I don't know.

Speaker 1: 4:27

Good heavens, I'm not going to read any more of this. You can read the rest. It's horrible. Luckily she escaped and she is not. Oh goodness, pray for her. Pray for her, that's all I can say.

Speaker 1: 4:42

This next story is horrible. I saw this on Twitter yesterday actually, and some of the comments from the ex-post were ridiculous, but we're gonna read this story. I don't understand why do they have walk-in ovens, walk-in ovens at Walmart? I did not know there was such a thing. I did not know that, did you? This is not good. This is get ready. This is a horrible story.

Speaker 1: 5:08

Teen Walmart worker found burned to death in walk-in oven, id'd and was found by her mother. So both of these women worked at Walmart. I guess they were on the same shift when this happened. This is again. I had no idea that Walmart had walk-in ovens. This is not a good idea. The teen Walmart employee found cooked to death Come on, can you not word that a little differently?

Speaker 1: 5:34

Inside a walk-in oven has been identified as 19-year-old Gersomron Cower, as it was revealed that she was discovered by her own mother. According to family members, cower's mom found her daughter's charred remains inside the Halifax, nova Scotia Walmart's large walk-in bakery oven Saturday night. According to GoFundMe set up for her family, the pair worked together at the superstore for the last two years. The mom became worried when she hadn't heard from her daughter, who would regularly check in on their shifts together for more than an hour from her daughter, who would regularly check in on their shifts together for more than an hour. Other co-workers believe she was likely helping a customer in the vast store. But the mother became increasingly concerned after Cowher stopped answering her phone, which is unlike her. I guess she didn't have her phone with her. Why would she not call her mother to say, hey, help, I don't. Maybe she didn't have her phone with her. As the search continued to. As the search turned to panic, she opened the oven door after another staff member noticed leakage coming from the area hours later and was confronted with the traumatic scene. Oh my gosh, imagine the horror that her mother experienced. Who herself opened the oven. A family spokesperson wrote on a fundraiser page has got to be more to this story.

Speaker 1: 6:56

The nature of cowher's death remains under investigation by local police. It remains unclear if any criminality is suspected. Authorities said the investigation is ongoing. We're still working with occupational health and safety, I guess so in the medical examiner's office we're allowing them to do their part. Okay, blah, blah, blah.

Speaker 1: 7:16

Wow, this is just horrible. It's pretty distressing. You know, young people come in here with all kinds of hopes and dreams and okay, that is just. Uh, we got to keep an eye on that story. Goodness gracious, that's horrible. I didn't know. Did you guys know that they had walk-in ovens? What the hell? Oh, what the hell. I did not know that was a thing I know. I've said that 3 000 times already, I apologize, I am just stunned at that. All right, new york post guess what greg gascon is doing and I think that's his name in california? He's looking at the menendez brothers to let them go. He's the lada recommends they be eligible, eligible for parole. After serving three decades in prison for 1989 murder of their parents, they're one step closer to freedom. Lyle and eric menendez will be resentenced. Oh, they will be resentenced after spending more than 30 years behind bars for the grisly 1989 shotgun murders of their parents, jose and kitty, in a case that captivated the nation spawn, spawned by a popular Netflix series more than three decades later.

Speaker 1: 8:20

I remember when this happened, although it kind of just disappeared all of a sudden because, you know, oj happened shortly after that and it took years for this to go through the court system and it was a high-profile case. It was on TV and everything. The first trial was where the jury came back with deadlock. They couldn't make up their mind. So they did it again, and this time it was not on TV. They had different prosecutors and they found them guilty.

Speaker 1: 8:55

There's a movie out. There's a documentary series out on Netflix, if you want to go watch it. It's a fictionalized portrayal of the story. It's not an actual documentary, but there is a documentary out there.

Speaker 1: 9:10

I watched both of these things and look, look, I don't know if I believe that they were sexually abused by their father. I tend to say no, they were not. That's my gut reaction to say no, they did it for the money. But here's the thing Even if they were sexually abused like that, they could have gotten, they could have left. They could have left. They were grown, they were 18, 19 years old. The other one was older than that. They could have left the. They were grown. They were 18, 19 years old. The other one was older than that. They could have left the effing house. Hello I, they planned this. They admitted that. They planned it. No, uh-uh, no, no, no.

Speaker 1: 9:53

They have pulled one over on you idiots, especially these young people that are on TikTok who brought this story to life, on TikTok again to bring it back out. Drag it back out. You young people are stupid. I will. Kamala is right about that part. Oh my gosh, I'm just so ridiculously up in arms over this. You can go finish reading all about that. I think it's ridiculous. But we need to go on to our Yo Carol, because it's Friday. Are you ready for my Yo Carol? Here we go.

Speaker 1: 10:27

Yo Carol, my husband of 20 years has always been a somewhat large man. I've never had a problem with his size. I married him after all. But with the latest craze of ozempic he's decided to also take the plunge or jabs into the weight loss medication miracle drug. He's lost 50 pounds already and says he wants to lose another 50 pounds.

Speaker 1: 10:51

While I want him to be healthy, I'm not so sure I'm loving his new physique. I am afraid I'm no longer going to be attracted to him. Signed scared of skinny husband. Well, scared of skinny husband. Look, if it's going to make him healthier, then I think that should be your main concern. But I understand you know about physical attractiveness. You said you've been married for 20 years. So any marriage, any marriage that has been going that long means that you have worked on it. So it just means you need to do some extra work, I guess.

Speaker 1: 11:29

Uh, which is fine, look, if as long as his personality hasn't changed I think that's the most important thing, and his health, of course. But if his, if he still treats you the same, I think it should be fine. Maybe I don't know what you look like Maybe you should try to get into some fitness too. I don't know, I don't know as long as his personality hasn't changed, I think you'll be fine. I think you'll be fine, you can work on it. So it gets a little smaller. I understand that, I understand. I understand, because I don't look, I kind of like larger men too. Okay, only because I'm kind of large myself. I think I'm not going to get into all those specifics, but anyway, I hope you've enjoyed this episode. It's Friday. The Gent and I will be back tomorrow with our episodes for the weekend and, yeah, have a good one. Thanks for listening.
