Hello and happappy Friday, I'm Polly Fry. And I'm Tracy V. Wilson. We talked about E Virginil Neil all week. Yes We sure did I am intrigued beyond measure by E Virgil Neil and the way he lived his life and all of his wild stuff. Yeah. I have so many thoughts I have so many notes so everybody come with me on journeys First off I have a cat redemption story. Okay On a previous behind the scenes, I talked about how my beautiful angel baby Jessie seemed to hate one of my best friends. Correct We figured out what happened. Well I think we figured out what happened. Okay. because Jesie and one of our other cats had to go in last two weeks ago four dental surgery And when we went and picked them up The other cat who has very bad teeth. Litter mates They were like, o My momnt was like she actually had much less in the way of problems than we expected. But Jesie had one tooth that was really infected really deep into her jaw line. And I think what must have happened is that she just wasn't feeling good and our dear friend probably gave her a scritch along her jaw and she just associated her with that Because after she healed from her oral surgery, that friend came over And Jessie climbed her like a monkey like purring and like rubbing her face on her. So I think Oh funny. She might not have hateful hearts. She may have just felt really credty they have just been touched in a way that did not feel good Yeah My baby is my baby, it turns out, she's a good girl. She's still a little bit of a man, but I just wanted everyone to know she's not a monster Okay, here's the takeaway of EVirgil Neil. and really it's a takeaway that is also from the show I used to do Criminalia mess with the post office. they come for you. They will come for you We did a whole season on Criminalia about fraudsters. And in so many of those instances, the thing that finally took somebody down was like, an inspector or the somebody from the post office like the postmaster general activating an inspector and being like, you have to go check this out. And that was how things all I mean bias for action. they will put together a case. they will get lawyers involved alongside. L it Don't mess with the post office. It's the rule. Yeah. which I just kind of love Postal fraud will get you before anything else. Yeah, because there's a whole lot of other fraud that you know it will happen, Nothing. Nothing. File your report with the FBI. What will happen? Nothing Zero things will happen. callall your local law enforcement about the fraud, zero things happening. I have personal experience with this and nothing, nothing will be done Although I had a great check fraud story that maybe we'll wait for another day, but there was there was it was a good one It was a good one. There was justice sort of neverever mess with the PO. Anyway, one of the other things that came up in some of the research on E Virgil Neil Again, I feel like his life story should be called that's not substantiated because ye. there' sa about a lot can't be substantiated and that so much of his life was built in a way that people could not substantiate things that it makes it very hard But one theory that had come up was that in his earlier days, And like people were like, okay, why did he keep setting these businesses up in like Syracuse Was that he was helping his parents or his mother solo His dad died at some point in there and that is reported differently in different places. that he may have been sticking close to her throughout all of it. And so like some of these sort of cockamame me and in some ways nefarious businesses were kind of to generate money that he could give to her but I don't That seems like a very kind read on his situation. Yeah But who knows, you know, even monsters will have pets I found myself thinking about Robert Boyle during this episode. Okay and his idea of healing at a distance. Yes. And I'm like, did they read his list, his wish list of things that science might do one day and go, peopleople want that. We we have it even though we don't have it Look into the eyes of the photograph at a specific time Yeah, when I think it was character delineator. Yeah And I was like, this sounds like some kind of woo. Like this is Character delineator sounds like a term for a psychic who is going to observe you and say what your character is. like that was sort of Yeah Wh my brain tick it Oh yeah, it's like a very specific form of cold reading. Yeah, it's wild. Here's the thing. Don't come for me. I have a weird sort of reserved Don't come for me. I'm not saying something bad, but it's going to sound initially. A weird sort of reserved admiration for E Virgil Neil because he was clearly very smart And he, you know, I mean, I read a lot of his banking and accounting stuff and I'm like, this is a brilliant way to teach this stuff. Like this makes so much sense. It really like clarifies, demystifies distills into like easily communicable and actionable activities, like how to do these things. And I'm like, this is terrific. He had an incredible skill as a writer and as a communicator And he obviously knew how to manage money. And I'm like, you're so darn smart. If you had only had scruples, right? What could you have done It's like the formula I wrote at one point in my notes was banking plus writing minus conscience. Like that's the formula that makes EVirgginil Neil because I don't know how you go to sleep at night doing the things he was doing But I do marvel at the way he was able to like shift things around very carefully He was really the only person who understood the whole web He, you know, like he was clearly making a lot of moves that were astute through a certain lens. But again, just lacking morality or conscience. Right, right. So that's why I I admire how smart he clearly was and how able he was to maneuver things to his own benefit, but I don't admire like What was motivating that or the outcome? Right, Don't come for me. I don't think he was a good person. I just think he was smart. Fascinated. fascinated Yeah Living with a rare autoimmune condition can bring a lot of uncertainty, but it can also bring people together in powerful ways.
