You just keep doing it Okay, you want to go on my first guest. Okay All right, this one's called request for items down in the wall And I have to show you a photo halfway through. Okay. Hey, Karen, Georgia, you guys asked for what did you find in the walls on the reewind episode of ' ninety seven Yes. And I immediately knew I had one A few years ago, I bought a house built in nineteen twenty one, just south of Dallas, Texas The man who owned it before me, Burl The hell such a great name was basically a local legend. He started the neighborhood association and had lived in the house forever When he and his wife sold it to me, he was ninety nine and she was ninety three and they were still walking up and down the stairs every day. Yeah, they were. Honestly, I'm convinced the fountain of youth is hidden somewhere in that house. It's on those stairs. G stairs. Get the stairs every day. The property itself is kind of wild. When the house was originally sold in the nineteen twenties, it came with one hundred twenty acres it's surrounded by neighborhoods, but it still feels like this tiny surviving piece of old South Dallas history People would randomly stop by because Burl had lived there for so long. I'd be outside watering the plants or hauling construction debris, and people would look at me and go, You're not Burl Anyway, I started renovating the house while also working on a construction job with insane hours. The entire place was torn apart, plaster dust everywhere, walls open, exposed framing. So I was basically living in a haunted construction zone. One night I came home super late and noticed something sitting on the top shelf of my shoe rack. It was a doll baby doll with wild hair, one eye half open, one eye half clothes, wearing a pink shirt and absolutely no pants. Apparently my electrician had found her inside the walls earlier that day. We aectively named her Trixie. Now, I can't just read the rest of this sheet because it sounds so normal. You have to see what this fucking doll looks like. Okay, So here's a picture of the doll Oh no.. It is like No arms, its face is just burnt to a crisp It's just it looks sacrificial Yeah, right? Yeahep It's not a chill little baby doll. It is like Well elrosity. It's a baby doll wearing no clothes and no arms is a bad combination.ally someone cut all the hair off and burned her face She which is pretty typical for like dolls and children, whatever. But yeah to If I were the person and the electrician did that funny joke and put that on my shoe rack. I'd be like, you'll never work in this town again. Well. Oh. From that point on, Trixie became part of the construction crew. Every day somebody moved her to a new location to scare someone else. I'd hide her somewhere before leaving for work. Nathan the electrician would move her again later. You'd open a cabinet, and Trixie would be there. And see, this isn't as scary without knowing what the fucking doll looks like, right? R Turn around a dark hallway, Txie. sitting in a wheelbarrow, Txie. Multiple contractors assured me the house was not cursed and that the spirits were happy here, which honestly felt like a very specific thing to hear from grown men covered in plaster dust. Like why do you have to say How do you know about the spirit? Totally. Is this the thing you do all the time? At the very end of the renovation, we built out a new master bedroom. One day I realized I hadn't seen Trixie for a while. Turns out, one of us had left her sitting on some framing lumber, and the framers unknowingly sealed her directly back into the walls of the house So somewhere inside my beautiful, restored nineteen twenty one home, Trixie is still there waiting patiently to absolutely terrorize another homeowner sixty or seventy years from now when they decide to renovate Stay sexy, donon't get murdered byy the old house and spend way too much money restoring it. Laurel I mean, those framers need a good talking too Because but that's a major decision to be like we're putting her back into the wall. Yeah Just to the knowledge that she's there for the rest of your. Yeah every time you go to bed, goodood night, Trixie. But like if everyone is insisting that the vibes were not bad Then I guess they weren't If in the fes Construction workers will tell you that weird shit keeps happening, for sure. Right? Yes. So the vibes yeah. You would feel like they would be there going, o yeah. lad Were working a lot of houses this one. I'm not coming back. N' Never seen a ladder fall like that before It's so creepy. okay Well, it's 'is the season, so I'm gonna to read you a graduation party story. Dads and grads. all month long Okay The subject line of this email is an unforgettable graduation party, and it says, Hello all. This story has everything. snakes, things in walls, and drunk kids. S. It's all our stuff To set the scene, my family went to a family friends high school graduation party in two thousand six We were some of the first people to arrive only to find the mom pretty frantic But not in that I'm not quite ready to host this party type of way. You mean every single time I host a party. Why was she frantic, you ask? Because the family's pet snake, Missses Alligator, was missing. misses Alligator such a good name And then the next paragraph starts, Yes, the snake was named misses Alligator. That' so good. That's what happens when you let an eight to ten year old boy get a snake and name it. Ohs so funny It was unknown how long Mrs. Alligator had been missing. But the lid was off her tank and she was nowhere to be seen. No We were told not to spread this news. Oh my God. That's so good. Okay. It's the perfect little Yeah variable to mix in before this party. Here's how it starts. is the snake in the punch bowl? Let's find out Snake in the toilet Uh I told I know, I've told you this, but We were driving down back highighway one in my front D And I had to stop because you know, there's nothing in between gas stations. We had to stop it. and I'd use one of those porta potties that was just on and out. look. Oh my God. And so I went in and I was like, o, this is the worst. I'm like stand outside. You know, like watch it for me or whatever. The door shuts, it's like almost pitch black and And I'm just squatting over. And then my friend Dave goes up to the the crack of the door and goes He just whispered the phrase bigig black snake And I started screaming, I've never forgiven him. I would have fucking squatted in the field? I mean Or just right out of the parking lot. Sure Okay, so snake variable, worst case scenario. donon't spread it around, but keep an eye out for her during the party. So she didn't leave the house is what they were asked to do. I was never clear on what to do if I saw her because I was definitely not going to pick her up or go near her. Since the party was catered by a Mexican restaurant, there was also a frozen margarita machine set up for the adults. Oh my God, this is awesome Well, my dad decided that there wasn't going to be any drunk kids on his watch. So he posted himself next to the margarita machine all night.uzzkill. Let's just say it's a good thing my dad isn't in charge of any kind of security because not only were some kids able to sneak some margs, but my dad got so drunk that on the way home, My mom had to pull over on the interstate Twice for him to be sick. Oh God. So he was just like, lug, lug Jimmy Buffet like his ass.ot his arm singing along with the margarita. You pass this test so good. and I'll tell you what Congratulations I Margarie. Yeah, you know how you get it here with me. Hily sneaky sneaks Because everyone loves a happy ending, misses Alligator was found a day or two after the party. Drum roll, please in the wall In the wall Meeting with Trixie Technically, she was curled up in an air conditioning duct, but those are in walls. And then it's this little winky E Motacon Stay sexy and just let the kids get drunk, Jenny I have so many questions like, what kind of snake was it? Could it have hurt someone at the party I mean I think that they let like eight to ten year old boys keep poisonous snakes. Fair enough.'s for collollege guys that love metal for yeah, that that's true Don't you think? Yes, but I can imagine Vince at a party and like he would have screamed and ran.' Same. Like if a spider got out, I'd feel like I would' remember coming to your house again. Bye. Good fuck good fuck yourself. Goodbye and good.

I was literally getting ready to leave my apartment and go to the Vatican Archives when I heard you two say you have listeners in Vatican City. Hi. I've been listening to you for years since I was an undergrad. I just completed a six month internship in the Vatican Museums This is exactly what we asked for. This was exactly what we wanted. And I used to listen to your podcast from my desk in the museum while I worked I'm an art historian and a ceramic artist. I first came to Rome for a ceramics residency and met my boyfriend and fell in love with Rome and him. I came back to Rome and earned my master's degree in art history, and he and I are very happily living together, smiley face. He is the absolute best and most supportive partner and a very talented jeweler. Oh, that's a nice one. We have been through a lot and your podcast has always brought me comfort, especially hearing your lovely American voices when my brain was extra tired from Italian I'm back in Lingood school now Two years ago I was in a near death motor vehicle accident. I was hit by a motorcycle while crossing the street as a pedestrian in the crosswalk Gu look both ways, always. That's so awful. But a scary, horrible thing. Not something you'd expect, but my God I broke so many bones, both legs, a rib and my sacrum. I spent two months in the hospital. For the first month, I couldn't even sit up and I had to learn how to walk again. B b I listen to a lot of my favorite murder in my hospital room. Oh You wr it helped. Wow, what a time. You brought me a little bit of normalcy and a lot of humor to an extraordinary period in my life and that made a big difference. Heart emoji. And now I'm up and walking and wearing stilettos on cobblestones and researching the apostle archives. Apostol Apost. I'm Jewish. I don't care. No excuse. you've been sitting across with me for ten years. My specialty in art history is material culture Renaissance floors. Now that I can walk on them again. I'm interested in how the choice of material was shaped by a world with broadening trade networks and how the floors quite literally dictate the movement of the viewer and their interaction with space. Think arrows on an airport floor, but Rennaissance tiles and ancient marble is so Cool, incredible. Also I'm sure you'll see them when you're there. but if you've ever seen pictures of those mosaics that the floors used to be in the ancient times. Like we went and saw one once where just you're walking on this trin walkway over the top and you're like, this was just the floor back there And it's like a whole scene and animals and Still there, hell yeah, crazy I don't have any crazy secrets to share, but archival research is pretty fun, right Yeah, right. Right now I'm looking at receipts of payment for some historical tiles. And whenever I see the price of something, I hear your voices in my head go, So in today's money Receipts from ancient tiles from ancient receipts. That's crazy. Save your receipts, kid. Save your receipts please. No, don't touch them. They're now full of. Oh yeah, it's different. If either of you are ever in Rome again soon, I would love to give you a free bootleg tour of the city or the Vatican Museums or anywhere you'd like, really.

Yes, totally Veryciting B So The subject line of this email is Hero Grandma. And then in parentheses, it says, Goldmine of cute old lady names. And it says, Hey ladies, in honor of my mom, Karen's birthday, Karen with a C never see that I'm writing to tell you about the time my grandma Eva saved her family from a fire. In the winter of nineteen thirty nine, my great grandparents, Sid and Glays, were busy running a sausage business and raising their nine children in a small wood frame house in rural Kentucky. Wow That morning it was snowing, so great Grandpa Sid had adjusted the damper on the coal burning stove to keep the house warm and instructed the kids to leave it alone for the day. He and Gladys packed up the horse and buggy and headed into town to sell their sausages, leaving my fifteen year old grandma, Eva May in charge of her three younger sisters, Anna Lee, aged ten, Mary Jane, age three, and Ima Nell Age two. great names. I mean. The girls spread out to enjoy their morning, little ones playing in the bedroom, and the older girls in the main room. It wasn't long before Eva smelled smoke. and just as she looked up, the ceiling erupted in flames. The coal stove had caught fire and the flames had traveled straight up the flu. Above them, the whole attic was already burning, and within minutes the rest of the house was too. Oh my God Eva did what any older sister would do and used this opportunity to physically pick up ten year old Anna and throw her out the front door into the snow Gosh has been waiting Finally finally justified Mary Jane got the same treatment and was efficiently ousted from the now smoke filled house. But when Eva ran back into the bedroom for little Nell, she was nowhere to be found She frantically searched Nell's usual hiding spots with no luck, until through the smoke, she spotted two little feet under the bed. She dropped to the floor, yanked Nell out by the ankle, and got out of the house just in time. Eva and Nell both sustained some burns, but they were all alive and together. Oh my go, she was like hiding under the bed. Yeah, trying to get away from the bad. She was so little Meanwhile, in the buggy, Sid and Gladys were getting close to town when they passed a neighbor on the road. Sid waved and hollered a quick good morning and the neighbor yelled back Turn around, Sid, your house is on fire Someone in town must have had a telephone because the news of the fire had beat them there. I don't know what the land speed record is for horse and buggy, but I bet they would have come close to it that day, high tailing it back home, wondering all the time if they'd just lost their girls They reunited and couldn't have cared less about the house, knowing how that day might have gone and the community rallied around them to get them through that winter. Oh my God We lost Eva and my three other grandparents before I was born, but I've always loved the story of how she saved her sisters I can't. The three amazing women who loved me like grandmothers in her place Thank you. The idea of your sister picking you up and throwing you out the door to save your hand. It's so so older sister I love it. Thank you for all you do. and happy birthday, momom. Stay sexy and always check under the bed, Kelsey.
