The Reposs Non League Show Merthyr Town and Anthony Hughes tributes 

A young cop in England realises whilst chasing a suspect with a rifle that his life will never be the same again. It lead to infiltrating football hooligans as a 17-stone skinhead.  Garry Rogers QPM is a former undercover operative who served 30 years with the Greater Manchester Police.  Garry played a key role in one of the UK's most successful undercover policing operations, targeting the football hooliganism that blighted the domestic and international game. The undercover operation was so successful, that the GMP extended the operation to target serious and violent crime, and it was Garry who gained the trust of armed robbers, drug dealers, and a murderer.  If this content affected you, the number for Lifeline is 13 11 14. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

61% of millennials are living paycheck to paycheck.  The same percentage - 61% of 18 - 34 year olds would switch employers for a job offering same-day pay.  With the exorbitant interest charged by pay-day loan companies and the 1.9 - 2.9% charged to employees through most companies who offer same-day pay these days, we are simply compounding the problem.   Anthony Hughes and his company Earned Finance have a solution.  By building the same-day function into their current platform, employers are able to compete with companies like Walmart and Hy-Vee in paying employees as they go.  Financial security and being able to see their work immediately rewarded is becoming the norm. In order to compete, in five years, all employees will need to find such a solution.  Listen to this episode of The Iowa Manufacturing Podcast to understand the trend.

Um, I, I, Luke let's check in on the stock. Let's see how Dutch bros is doing right now. Up again. I mean, this stock has just been ripping all week. Oh, I wonder what the. Check with the one week return is on bros right now. Yep. And, and, and th this is the new coffee shop, uh, IPO craft producer.Does that sound right? Yes, sir. Yep. It's uh, specifically in the kind of Pacific Northwest, um, kinda, you know, out in, uh, Oregon, Washington, that part of the country, these are everywhere. They're like the Dunkin donuts in the Northeast where there's one on every corner in Boston. Um, and. I mean, it's up 25% this week alone, Luke.Um, I'm up for not going to lie. The drinks don't look like that. Good. Yeah. They look like, I mean, they kind of look like Dunkin donuts drinks, like super sort of shitty. Alright. Is if anybody's been to Dutch bros, will you please comment like this looks way better? Like maybe get this fall it's oh, is it PSL season?Yeah, it's definitely PSL season. It's definitely, they have a, so here's Starbucks. Here's let's look at the Dutch bros site. Yeah, the Starbucks drinks look just like so much more lowering. Wait, let's look at what we're getting into the chat. Um, Kira said I went to Arizona on vacation, visited Dutch bros and went every day.It's pricey, but it tastes amazing. All right. Matt says drinks are so bad. Cameron is not a fan of fan eye. So if you've been to, if you've been to Dutch bros, give us a one in the chat. Um, or a two, if you've been to Dutch bros and you like it, give us a one. If you do not like it, give us a two. Okay.Everybody likes touch for us clearly except for a Cameron Dole. Are you judging coffee brands by photos? Yes. The answer is we're doing D D right now. It's very serious, but, but, but I'll say beyond that, we're asking for a reason, right? It's it's not a brand that we have in Michigan where I live and that's why we're asking.STBC lives in Oregon. Yep. Um, so yeah, I mean, th this one's interesting for sure. I don't know if, if the stock will hang out at these prices, it's kind of hard to tell, right. After an IPO, you don't have a long, I wonder, do you know what the IPO is priced at prices three. I believe. I believe it opened that $36.I don't know what a bit priced at 23. Okay. Let, let, let's just talk through how this IPO mechanism works for a second producer, maybe. So, so, so there, there's a few prices to keep in mind when we're talking about IPO's. Uh, the first one. This is what the IPO price is at. Okay. And that, that sort of the first price that we get, and that's the price at which the company is selling shares out to the market.So, so and so when the company is creating 10 million new shares and dumping them on the market, that's the price at which the company is selling those shares to the market. Typically it's institutional shareholders that are buying those shares and they're, they're buying them, uh, before the stock typically starts trading.And generally speaking, the price increases from, from the, the, the first day of trading. There's a price increase versus where the stock price is at. So, so, so that's the first price, what the IPO price is at. And again, that, that that's where, where the company is, is selling their shares onto the market. Uh, the second price to keep in mind is where the stock opens.Okay. So, so the company is going to sell their shares for 23, but they're making that decision before the stock is actually trading. It's typically the next day that the stock is going to start trading. Um, and, and so basically the way that, that, that stock opening process looks like is, you know, the market maker gets all the buyers of the stock, all that.So there's a stock lines of. And figures out where exactly that bid-ask lands, uh, in, in, at what price the stock is going to start trading on the market. So, so, so we had the IPO priced at $23 a share that's the price of which Dutch bros sold it, sold shares to the institutions. Uh, then we have the open price at 32 50.That's the price at which the stock actually started trading. Uh, in today we are sitting at 53 times. Okay. So, so, so for, for any of those institutional investors who got in at 23, they've already more than doubled their money, uh, for anybody who got in, when the stock started trading at 32, you've already, you already have more than 50%.Um, so I mean, it's, it's definitely been a hell of a run for the, for the short lifespan as a public company. Yeah. I mean, look, I think any time you have an IPO and you're trading it right after, um, it's one of those things that you have to keep an eye on in your portfolio. Um, because, you know, th the IPOs tend to trade pretty volatile after, um, you know, in the months after.So if, if I have Dutch bros in my portfolio right now, look, I'm not selling it, but I'm going to be watching it like a Hawk. Yup. And they're asking for a tighter. Yeah. Um, we need a close up on loop. There we go. We're just going to do it like this. Okay. Um, let's grab first ticker out of the chat produce.Maybe I saw it. Well, I wanted to say I saw Marin earlier. It came in earlier. M R I N, and Luke, this is one, uh, I can share my screen and I can show my portfolio. I bought this stock yesterday. I'm up 20% on it. Let me find this one year chart daily candles that we're looking at right now, guys shows Zuma in producer AB rich Kaiser.Yeah, let's get it. These are daily candles, daily candles. What do you want? And here's here's five days. 10 minute candles. How's that? Uh, no, I want, I want the dailies, but I want it zoomed in on the last, like, say month or so. All right. Here are daily candles and you got about a month. Beautiful. Uh, yeah, I mean, it wasn't.So yesterday I was looking at the chart and the chart did look good to me. Like it, it, you know, it obviously had, um, it hadn't quite jumped up yet. So right now on the trade, it had jumped up. Not as much it as of right now, though. And on the trade I'm up. Let me check in my portfolio. Up 19%, Luke overnight 20% overnight, not an options trade just bought the stock and it happens to be up 20% today.Um, so let me know in the chat, is it time to sell? And, and so, so what is the company doing? Yeah, they do. And it's kind of a SAS company. Um, and they renewed a contract with Google. So the, you know, that obviously had a positive impact on, uh, on the, on the stock that they cause. So it bounced twice, which is honestly what I'm a little bit confused about.Cause I I've only seen the one news thing, so I don't know why it would bounce twice on two separate days off of one piece of news.You got some energy in it, baby. That's what it is. And shout out to Cameron Dolan. The chat is basically saying that if it holds up today, a stock looks good in his view. And I tend to agree with that. Right. We had that first pop. We had a hell of a sell off, off of the highs and now we're pretty much back up to those highs.Yeah. We're just kind of filling that gap, but, um, it is higher now. Uh, earlier today than it was on that previous peak. So it got to 9 93. Um, and now it's at 1127. So if we close above that, um, you know, previous, previous, I think we're in good shape and maybe a prudent shout out from Cameron in, in the chat saying, saying, don't make it binary.Don't make it. Should I buy or should I, should I hold? Or should I sell? You can sell half, right? You, you can start easing your way out of a position. And that might be the move. Yeah. What I say to you, Cameron is I like the way you think I'm going to go ahead and do that right now. As you can see here, I'll scroll down.History Benzinger article on there. Yep. Um, that's Randy Elias. I asked them today. Cause so, so Luke, we've talked about this before, how the whims came about was essentially Luke would be checking his portfolio and he would walk over to the news desk and say, Hey, Brent, um, you know, why is, why is my stock apple of 5% today?Or he'd say, Hey, Jason. Um, cause back in those days, Raz would, would work on the news desk like every day. And he would ask Raz like why his stocks were moving. So eventually we made a product out of, um, why it's moving. And I asked Randy kind of same thing. Like I was Luke, you know, however many years ago, that was, I was like, Randy, why is, why is Marin up 20% today?And you know, I was like, Hey, we should do a whim on it. So this is Randy. Shout out, Randy. History 22 hours ago, about $300 worth that's about 38 shares, 37.9 shares. So Cameron, what I am going to do is I'm going to sell 14 shares right now. Wait, no, I said, uh, 2019 I'll do 19 shares right now, but that's the.To sell 19 shares. So done. Thank you, Kevin, for the advice. Boom, boom. That's how we do on zinger nation. All right. Now you have proceeds. Let's roll it into something else. All right. Let me know what I should buy Fridays are for Yolo trades. I don't know if that's prudent advice lately, like selling half the position when you're already up, but typically by the time we get to Friday, I'm like so tired that I'm I'm in my Yolo trading ed.I gave another stock on get technical yesterday, which it probably wasn't the right show to give it on Luke because it wasn't based on technicals. It was based more on the fundamentals. Um, but that's FOC Fox FAC Fox F I want you to check out this because the company reported great earnings last report.Um, the stock has been really strong and I I'm looking for previous all-time highs in this trade. Okay. All right. Here's here's one, one here's one year chart, daily candles. Um, I don't know. I think it's fine. I think we just rip it. Like this is not just ripping it. I think we picked something that that's 40% today at high of day and you just load it.All right. I'll share. I'll share my sons. Find one. Damn why I in the chat, if anybody has symbols, top of mind that acting like that daily, daily movers, um, oh, no stop. I'm just going to use Benzinga pro for this.

I'm going to buy some from all time highs. You're at high high a day. You're already up 36%. This exactly fits the profile for a Friday afternoon. Yolo trade volume. You're one of the last warm, warm weekends of the year. Let's do it.History five seconds ago, $200, 12 and a half shares of AHR. Shout out Ben of story trading. Um, yeah, so 12 and a half is weird. That would screw with me. I think I never bought a fractional share before. Isn't that weird ever? Never. Oh, well they didn't have it right when I started, it's like a new thing. I just always thought two or three years dollar amounts.Oh my God. We're already up. We were up bro, half a percent. I use it to pay down margin loans. Spencer Israel side said, said dividends for fractional shares. I told him I don't reinvest those dividends. He's a debate on my margin loans slowly, you know, work it down. Um, but all right, producer AB we have a very special in-office guest today.Yes, sir, Luke. Um, let's get to it. Uh, before we do, I have a quick little ad for our, uh, our swag that I want to play.

All right. I'm producer AB ha ha.Give me a thumbs up if the audio sounds okay. We're trying something new. You guys hear you. Okay. But we got the thumbs up. All right. We have for the first time, in quite a while, maybe, maybe almost a year at this point in, in office guest. So, so, so Anthony, you came all the way out here from Iowa to visit us or maybe, or some other reason you're in town, but regardless you are here in Detroit, Michigan.How are you doing today?

First time in Detroit, um, I'm from the Pacific Northwest eventually, or, you know, whatever. Um, but uh, yeah man, first time in Detroit, um, I was great.Detroit's awesome. A nice little. But, uh, yeah, it's good to be out here, man. All right. So, so, so good. Give us a little bit of your background. Tell us about your, your trading, investing career. Any, anything else that that just helps us give us a little bit of context? Yeah, for sure. So, um, I mean, I'm a division one wrestler, so I love to compete, um, or former division I'm too old now, but, um, yeah, so I love to compete.So when I was in college, Kind of started trading, um, the, the old school OJI platforms. Um, and then Robin hood showed up on the scene, made it a lot easier for guys like us to start trading. And yes, I've been about trading for about a decade now, a self-taught YouTube kind of YouTube university kind of helped out with, with the trading.Learnings and whatnot, but, uh, yeah, so trading for about a decade management, all my own portfolios and funds and, uh, just love it. Absolutely love it. Okay. But, but, but then you said Robin hood is not enough, right? You, you mentioned that, that you were from like, you know, the, the traditional brokerage is you made the move to Robin hood, but then something happened where you said Robin hood is not enough and now you're, you're launching your own business.So, so tell us about that and why you're getting. Yeah, so, ah, fantastic question. Um, but, uh, so back in January, um, we all know the turmoil that happened in the markets. Um, and I was actually working on another software company at the time. Um, so stock trading is my fourth company and successfully exited two of them already.So it was working on another SAS product and. How's laying in bed, reading through Bloomberg and Benzinga and Yahoo finance, and all of a sudden you can't trade GameStop anymore. And I was like, ah, yeah, this isn't gonna, this isn't gonna work. There's a marketing issue here. And so it was like five 30 in the morning.So I wake my wife up. I was like, ah, Jill, I'm going to start another company today. She's like, no, please don't do that. Please just work on what you're working on. And, um, I was like, give me 36 hours. Let's see what else. And, um, so launch stocks trading with a landing page, uh, bought 500 bucks worth of Facebook advertising.And, uh, we had 1400 people sign up for the waitlist and about 30 hours. So, um, so stocks trading is, is what we're working on. Okay. All right. And, and, and one, I love how easy, like, like, you know, the CPC advertising makes it right where you can just throw something out there and quick get quick market feedback.Cause we, we love to do that as well when we're testing new products. Um, but, but, but tell us a little bit about the stock's trading experience. Like what, what, what should users expect? Um, you know, how are you going to be interfacing with the users? Yeah, that's fantastic. So, um, I think we need to start from kind of the unique value proposition that we have for, um, our users specifically.Um, we are attempting to create the first user owned financial platform, um, the first iteration of that big retail trading app. And, um, and that was pretty much the market sentiment at the time when everybody thought like these retail trading apps were kind of on the retail traders side, um, and then turns out.They weren't and like, and so when looking at the market, how we're going to build our go to market strategy, I was like, man, let's just, uh, let's give away 500,000 people shares of our company. And, um, and so that's literally what we're doing is we're giving away, um, about a quarter of our company right now, just to users so that we can.Always put our people first. Right. And that, that needs to be the sentiment of companies like moving forward. It's like when you. Your customers and your people first, they're going to be evangelists for you and they're going to be life long customers. And so that is literally our value proposition right now.And it kind of falls off of what Warren buffet has believed for forever. It's that shareholders make the best customers. Right. So what does Warren buffet do? He only drinks Coca-Cola he only eats dilly bars. He only buys his mattresses at Nebraska furniture Mart. I mean, so he is a consumer of the companies that he owns.And so with those, uh, kind of building blocks in place, giving shares away of our company, Putting our people first, uh, we're going to build a kick-ass company, man, and it's going to be for the people by the people. Okay. That's sweet. And I'm learning about this at the same time. That's all you, all of you guys are.So, so, so let me ask this in terms of the mechanism for, for users to get those shares, is it, uh, users who are on the waitlist? Uh, and then they go ahead and they create the account when available. Um, and then that's their, their gifted shares. Is it, is it basically work like that? Does everybody get shares in proportion?Uh, what, what exactly does that. Yeah. So, um, so right now, uh, w w our app, our trading platform will launch October 17th, knock on wood. Uh, that's what the engineers told me this week. Um, so in about a month in three and a half weeks, three and a half weeks. So, uh, we're, we're going to beta launch in about three weeks.And, uh, so right now, it's you gotta to try stocks.com. There's a button that says, join waitlist, get five free shows, throw it up, try, try songs.com. Um, join the wait list. There's no obligation. Um, we would hope that you download the app when it's ready, but, um, so during the waitlist, we're giving five shares away and, um, and then the mechanism that we will, the vehicle that we'll be using in order to give those shares away is through a share drop, um, on Republic.Um, so we're partnered with Republic, uh, to be able to administer those shares. And, um, yeah, so just join the wait list and then eventually download the app. You'll get, you'll get you. Um, and, uh, yeah, man, like that is literally what I'm dedicated to right now. It's building a good app and giving the shares away, so.Okay. And, and, uh, our users are going to be curious about the backend, right? Like, like who, who are you clearing through? Who, whose custodian the assets. Can you, can you talk us through that? Yeah. So, um, so we're a tech company, right? Um, we, we're not a broker dealer. And so when, um, when I launched the company back in February, um, for what I did, it would realize how much, like, how much you needed to like, be in compliance with regulations to start a trading company.Um, cause I was a SAS guy, not a FinTech guy. And um, so it was like, oh man, like there's a lot of stuff to do. So, um, so we are kind of using the neobank. To where, um, a FinTech company can essentially launch a bank account and be sponsored by bank or BB VA or something like that. Um, and so our sponsoring broker dealers, alpaca markets, and they're a San Francisco based API broker dealer.And, um, yep. You guys know them. Yeah. You guys know them well. And, um, and so the reason why we, we chose them was. I think what Robin hood did. And if we back up for a second to talk about how brokerages retail brokerages, 0% commission brokerages make money, is it. By order flow or by commissions, like, I mean, those are the only really two main ways to do it.And so that was a big, um, thing for me was when Parker partnering with alpaca, I needed to know exactly how they cleared. Right. And so, um, so instead of selling it to the same, uh, clearing firm, like Citadel or something like that, So that doesn't get us in trouble by saying that, but, um, but like they, they go by best bed only, and they had about seven different clearing houses that they go through.And so, so it's truly a, it goes with our ethos of, you know, trying to put the user in the customer first. Uh, but then eventually on our roadmap, we do have some aspirations. Uh, broker-dealer as well. So, um, but that's further down the line. That's the boring part, but the fun part is the tech side. Right?Building the application, figuring out what data to put in there, what the interface is going to be like. Yeah. Leave that to a backup and a huge shout out to alpaca. If you guys don't know them, uh, uh, they, they just had some news. They raised a pretty big round. I don't remember. It was like 75 million or something.Yeah. So you just raised a big round. And I remember this was, must've been probably three years ago, visiting their offices in, in, uh, Palo Alto. It was somewhere out there and it was like, like four people there, like total, you know, it was like two co-founders and when do software engineers and I'm like is ambitious what they're going after, but, you know, Hey, that's you best of luck and they're doing it.So, okay. All right. So, so, so, so that's the business. What about the stocks? You have favorite stocks on your radar right now? This is the trade idea shows. So you have to give us at least one,no one judged me for this. Okay. But I, uh, I just bought the massive dip on Virgin later. Or Virgin, sorry, Virgin galactic. So, um, so I'm, I brought the dip, um, let's see about three weeks ago, four weeks ago, and that, see that, that nice, that nice dip. Yep. Um, so bought it, I think it touched like 22 or something like that.Uh, bought it. So I'm not, um, I am a yellow. Just because I have to be stocks, trading, baby, like diamond hands to the moon. Um, but uh, I like Virgin galactic kind of long-term I love the billionaire space race right now. Um, I think there's a lot of momentum, um, but I'm also a, um, Alfa Dubai writes on everything I do.So, um, so I'll do covered calls. Um, I'll sell poets, um, to, to reduce my cost basis. And so that's what I'm doing on Virgin Atlantic or Virgin galactic because, um, li. Oh, yeah. You get super long. Yeah. I'll get along. Yeah. I'll get along. Yeah. Which I, I love the selling the puts because it at least reduces my cost basis while I'm waiting.Um, but I'll be like 10% under, like, you know, and if I get assigned on it, that's fine. And then we'll hit it again. So we'll, I'll dollar cost average, like, until it finally turns around and in his reversal. All right. I like it. Uh, what about GameStop? You long it still, or no, I got long again. For the first time in months, was it?I don't know if anybody in the chat remembers, but it was one or two weeks ago. Um, I had been out of it for awhile. I think I had the best game stop trade of anybody. I, uh, Got our game sub-story was crazy. So, so we had, when Andrew left from her, when he came out against the stock and I was like 40 bucks, he broke that news on this show, this show that we're doing right now, that's where he broke the news.And I saw so much energy flowing into like the chat that I'm like, okay, this is special. And that's what triggered me to buy the stock in the forties. Did I paper hands it? Yes. But my sale price was $420 in 69 cents. You're not going to get up at like six 15 in the morning. Like, like I, I checked my, my, my broker Jack.Pre-market like, when I got up, like, you know, like, like five 30 or something like that, I saw it was close through that limit on there, got in the shower. By the time I was out of the shower, filled it for 20, 69. It wasn't meant to be, but I'm, I'm long again, as of a couple of weeks ago, I'm back in the name.We're where are you at with it? And the chat hates that I'm in this stock too. They think it's all dead money. Well, I'm not, I can't comment on the dead money part because. I own a diamond hands company, but, um, yeah, I'm not in game stop. Um, I got out quite a bit ago. I'm still an AMC. Um, I hit AMC at like eight bucks, nine bucks.And I'm still riding that, um, with the, so the momentum trades are, or, I mean, it's, I don't know whether you call it momentum trades anymore. Just how many retail investors are behind these, but I learned my lesson with doge. Um, so I had doge for like six months. Um, I bought it at 0.0, zero 5 cents. There's five tenths of one penny.Um, and I held it and I was like, no, just us not leaving. And so I was like, I'm done, I'm out of it. I sold it January 21st of this year. Uh, Elon Musk tweeted like 47 seconds later and it, and it's been on a tear ever since. So I did learn my lesson with not sticking in with the means. Um, but once I hit a hundred percent, I'm out, I got to rotate to something else personally, but no, don't tell, don't tell that many people about it.So. Alright. And let's ask this one too, guys. Uh, let, let, let, let's get Anthony some help here. Uh, put in the chat. What is most important for you w with a, with a brokerage app? Right? So, so he he's building this thing actively right now. Like, I, I, this, this idea is coming from somebody in the chat said, please give us, it was, it was rich guys are said, please give us a little bit more charting power.Um, But, but guys drop in the chat. What is really important for you for, for your brokerage product and, and, you know, if we're all shareholders, maybe we band together and we start voting on these things. And there we go, um, back to the charting power. So some of that were engineering and I showed the team a little bit of the app.Maybe I'll send it over and we can throw it up sometime. Um, but what we're trying to balance. You got to give Robin hood props for building a absolutely beautiful product and business. I mean, you got to give him props, but from a charter, well, from a charting perspective, it's like, there's not that much.And then we will rolls out and they give a lot of charting, but it's hard to use or in the feels like trading view. Right. And so, so what we're trying to do is like take the design flawlessness of Robin. With overlay charting. So we're going to have Mac D and Bolinger bands and everything, but we're re we're reducing the amount of functional functionality you can actually do with the chart itself.And that kind of balance allows us to give more technical indicators without making an impossible to use. Um, and then secondly, kind of our roadmap, but you mind if I tell a little bit about the roadmap, um, We're going to launch, um, the trading up here in three weeks, hopefully. Um, but uh, on the roadmap, we're actually launching a neobank as well.So we are partnering with bank Corp to offer checking accounts, savings, accounts, debit cards, credit cards, personal loans. I mean like the whole gambit. Um, and then, um, Q1 Q2 of next year, we'll throw in portfolio management so people can, um, manage their HSA is 401ks IRAs in the platform as well. And we really want to build a super, a super app for, uh, for the re just the retail money manager themselves.Right. And that's kind of what we're calling ourselves now is like we're retail money managers. Like we're managing our own portfolio. We do the best. I don't have to pay somebody a percentage. Um, and you know, with partnerships like Benzinga and stuff, we can trade and train and educate, um, our people to, uh, to trade better.So, and then we'll get through a crypto wallet in there too, but that's next year. So. Okay. And what about this one? I, I see a lot of ideas coming in for, in here. Some more useful than others. Probably the most important one that I see is the confetti, the confetti animation. You know, I think that that one had to get taken out, unfortunately, when the IPO happened, but you know, users like the confetti, I showed the boys here at, uh, Benzinga last night, a little bit of the app.And when you execute a trade, it says, um, do you want to launch. And it's a rocket ship. And so the, so we actually built in an animation to where you swipe up to trade a rocket ship follows and then hits a moon. So we have like a moon that comes down and explodes the moon. So we couldn't do the confetti.I'm pretty sure there's a little design IP behind that, but, um, but the rocket into the, the rocket into the moon is what we have. Yes. Yes. I am all about the rocket. Yeah. All right. That's awesome. Um, it, any other questions you guys have for Anthony drop them in the. Um, uh, otherwise in any, any final words of wisdom for us, um, I guess wisdom be a smart trader, right?Like, um, and like that is what we're buy the stock sell puts, uh, you know, of course by the high of all time, hold it. Um, no, it's like, you know, when you hit 30, 40, 50% in gains, especially on these beam stocks, um, and this is what we're having to tell our community now. Is, um, eventually you got to take your profits, right?And so I liquidate liquidate, liquidate. If you're up a hundred percent, maybe reduce position by half rotate. I'm not a money manager. Right. But like, um, that, those are my words of wisdom. Right. And so, um, take your profits, have fun, continue to learn. Um, and they get on stocks trading. So. All right, guys, I'm gonna put the link in the chat.One more time. Really neat concept that giving the shares away to your users. I didn't know about that until just now. That's awesome. I'm all about it. Um, let me ask you one more, uh, Republic. Why why'd you choose Republic, uh, of all the platforms you could have partnered with for, for the. Yeah, great question.So, uh, we actually raised a small, um, pre-seed round on we funder. Um, and, uh, and so we have about 10,000 people on the wait list right now. And so, um, we want to be as community driven as possible, which is why we're going crowdfunding route. Um, we are trying not to. A single dollar from a VC. Um, this is like one of our tenants is like, we don't want investment banks.We don't want VCs because as soon as I put three VCs on my board, now I become beholden to the VCs instead of our users. And so a Republic has a very good track record with getting FinTech companies, launched crypto companies launched, um, and, and they also offer. A crowdfunding platform that offers a share drop.And so they're going to be facilitating the share job, allocating the shares to our users, uh, once they sign up for the waitlist and a, which that will be done at the end of October. So I would just fill it a filing the partnership with Republic right now. But, uh, yeah, so like they they're able to facilitate that shared route for us, which is why we essentially went with them.All right. That's awesome, man. I appreciate you stopping by. I appreciate you hanging out with us and the crowd that the chatters out there. Zinger nation is definitely a fan of the concept. Cool. Alrighty, sir. Appreciate you. Thanks you guys.That was Anthony Hughes of stocks trading. The link is in the chat. Please go check out the website and sign up if you have not already. Um, let's take a quick peek into my portfolio. We'll see how those trades are doing. Um, check in on AHR as well as Marin. Let's see. So Luke, I'm down about a percent and a half in Marin right now are not married.AHR, not worried about. Um, as Ben from story trading, Rowan, can I get the camera, the camera height right today? I mean, Jesus.All right. How about that one? That was a pretty cool concept. DV, isn't it? Yeah. I mean, I I'm, I'm all about it, Luke. I don't know. I don't know about you, but I might have to assign a sign up for an account and switch my Robinhood over. Okay. Yeah. Well, hopefully when you, uh, when this AHR. I mean, Ben said maybe, or what's the deal Cole.I just bought it about 20 minutes ago. Um, Ben settle on the show. He had a very hefty, ambitious price target of about $50. So honestly, if this, if this goes down a couple bucks, Luke, and I'm down, you know, so it's a swing trade. Do not let your swing trades turn into long-term investments, especially since I've peer pressured you into making.I will feel accountable. No, I mean, Hey, if $50 is in the future, I want to be. All right. If you say so, it will say, it looks like we might be, we might be getting some legs back in HR. Maybe you get some green candles going. Yeah, I need some green candles. Let's check back in on Marin, Marin software. M R I N um, up about 25% today, Luke.So definitely some you hit this one yesterday. Oh, well, Cole bought AHR at his at Ben's last interview at seven. Good. First I bought this one yesterday, Luke, there were a few factors that went into it. Rodrigo. I sold Marin because I didn't sell all my mare and I sold half of it. Um, because you already have 20% of the day, right.Someone told me to Cameron Dole told me to, and I said, Hey, he sounds smarter than me. So, um, I did it, um, Let me see what else is in my portfolio. That's moving in a day. Look, FUBU has just been a dog for me. People in that chat will probably hate on me for this. Cause I talk about absolutely 110% a, uh, but selling candidate.It is, it is let's zoom it out. So here's here's one year chart, daily candles to super, super tight range. Yeah. I w let's put that one on the books for next week. Maybe let's find some quotes that we can sell against. Yeah, I think last time we checked on it, there maybe just wasn't, uh, like that much premium that we'd be raising, but maybe, uh, you know, some the higher Vicks and applied Ivy that the premium will be good on those.I mean, I'm not out of this trade yet, but it's just been doing nothing for me. I mean, it's like Anthony was talking about with the OSHA and he said it was just ranged around for so long that he got bored of the trade, um, sold then as soon as he did it, it, it spiked. Um, all right. We can't see. What stock this is, but let me guess.So it said 1147. Um, give me an industry.Wait, what are we looking for? You have this stock, sorry. I just wasn't paying attention. We couldn't see the name of it. So I was going to guess I was asking for the industry, but, um, I don't know if I would have gotten that one. All right. Uh, what about the crypto market today? AB what. So China as has been typical China fashion for the past, you know, few months, um, you know, has been ramping up China's, uh, you know, regulation and involvement in, um, business in general.And so basically right now, China came out and said, uh, Holly was down to 1 45. I know it's it's, it's not, she, it, anybody inbox. I got out of my Baba trades. I'm still, I'm still looking. I might get into some leaps here soon. Dude, if you bought PABA three years ago, your break even let's look at how the numbers have changed over that same period of time.They've probably increased the revenue by a buck. So over that same three years, they've doubled revenue and the stock is flat. Uh, happy. My average for FUBU is yep. 29, 76. So I don't know. Did, I mean down 1300? I don't know where everybody's at on a Baba dude.Alright, Baba. One of you like it too, if you don't. I mean, this is so we're looking right now. This is a ten-year chart with monthly candles. Okay. So we're zoomed away. I mean, this thing is ugly. Bottom of range to support from three years ago. Matter sort of maybe, um, dude, I can't leave Bob. I was down to 1 45.I hadn't looked at it in a couple of weeks. I mean, last time I checked, it was still holding on around around 200 dropping another 25% on that shout out lava. Why do you like it too? You don't. I see a couple twos popping in there. Uh, Yeah, I think I'll get into a Baba trade at about 1 35, maybe one 30. So, so let's look at these Baba financials for a second.Let's do some, some quick valuation math. So net income on Baba 45. Uh, this is really inconsistent. This is tough. If you average these three quarters, what do you have? You have, uh, 1 25 by three. So doing $40 million of profit a quarter, roughly. So that's 160 million a year, or I'm sorry. 160 billion a year.The market cap is 400 million AB. So what is that 400 divided by one 60 stocks trading at two and a half times. P E. S and P averages is closer to what? Five, 10 S and P average, no way, way higher. You think talking about PE? Oh, okay. Not. Uh, price to, so, uh, Dan saying he loves Baba at one 20, I think, anywhere down there in that one 20 to 30.All right. So 34 that that's the average for the S and P 500 is, is 35, basically average PE ratio. Ali-Baba Xavier wants me to stop saying Ababa, but sorry, but Alibaba's at two and a half times, and that just shows the market sentiment on this. I think as soon as we see institutions willing to come in and take on the potential risk for this, for how crazy undervalued it is.No. Let's think about what that risk is like. What's the biggest risk. The biggest risk is it gets privatized right in, in, in everybody. Is Sol that's the biggest risk? Is that realistic? I don't know. The market seems like it's pricing in some of that. I w what other risks could there be like, could there be regulation that hurts their ability to sales?Maybe? I mean, I I'm, I'm in the boat that I think China long-term, we'll be doing, um, you know, Jack ma went missing. We, we, we don't know if it's the real Jack model that came back. Uh, and we, I heard him talk. I think we have, but there's like a bunch of rumors saying that they think it's like an actor playing Jack, Bob, but he's also breaking it up.That's one solar and UPSes to solar up is thrown out there. Yeah. I mean, there's an argument to be made loop that the potential risks, um, outweigh the potential, uh, for growth in this stock. I would however, be willing to take on that risk longterm. Um, because I think that China will be doing what it is and its power to become, uh, the economic kind of, you know, super power of the world.And I don't think breaking up it's big as company will be, um, you know, part of that plan, but we we'll see, do you have your brokerage account open? I don't. I do. Can you price me out? What are some one 20 December puts going $420 strike December. Um, one 20 let's do December 17th by puts one 20 puts are five, 10, $500.So $5 a share. Is that right? Can you zoom in again? Yup. I got a little.Normally the low on the, on the day for this contract was $4 and 91 cents. The high is $5 and 20 cents. So try to be a decent move. So you sell one contract. You're going to get $500 right away for selling the contract, right? $5 a share times at times, a hundred shares in a contract. So you get 500 bucks right away.Uh, as long as Ali Baba is above $115 on December 20th or whatever the date is that these contracts expire. Uh, you keep your 500 bucks and enrolled into something else. Bad case scenario. Let's say the stock goes down to 75. Right. I mean, that would be another halfing of, of where it is now that then you're on the hook for 70, you know, the 115 minus 75 times a hundred.So then you're on the hook for four GS, I think another way to play it, Luke would potentially be looking out to these very long-term. So others, this one's January 20, 20, 23. Um, so yeah, this is a year and a half away. Um, maybe like something like a $180 strike price it, or you could even go further. I mean, I can sort of get behind that.Okay. So, so let's think about this one. Hold on. I'm sitting down. So, so, so you're going away out to January 20, 23. So that's 15 months. Yep. Uh, You do go back to $18. What was that? 180 strike. A hundred lady strike is, is about, um, you know, it'd be about two grand to pick up this contract, but I mean, Luke, I would be so, so, so shocked if in a year from now Baba, isn't up to, you know, say $200 or so.Yeah. So you're paying two grand today. If the stock got back up to two 50, uh, then you make, make seven grand off your. That's not horrible. Yeah. I mean, we'll take that. We'll take, uh, you know, 300%, 200% any day of the week, I think. Uh, so a long time. So you're way out. It's not a 200% trade in among the one benefit to doing a trade like this compared to selling the puts is, you know, exactly how much you could potentially lose in the 1890.I mean, if for whatever reason, Baba just tanked and got below that $115 price, you would have to. Well, you'd have to buy a hundred shares at one to, to buy yourself out. Um, and for someone like me that has a smaller portfolio this way, I know exactly how much I would potentially be on the hook for. Um, and I would only do this if I was willing to take on, um, you know, about $1,900 worth of risk, um, for a potentially very profitable trade and think about too.How could you hedge it a little bit? Right. So, so you could buy those calls. Uh, that's risky too. And I was going to say, and you could also do like short something like a J D dot. Yeah, but I think all I'm using that one, another Chinese name, less volatility. I wouldn't short something like jd.com just because I think it's also gotten beaten down.Um, so I feel like if, if we have news, that's good for Baba. Baba is moving up that J D will probably as well. I'm thinking about it, like as, as a hedge and I mean, using the jd.com, because again, it's another Chinese tech giant, but less. Oh, I see what you're saying so that if there is more and more bad news than JD goes down and we're at least making some money off that, um, while our Baba call is getting smacked.Um, yeah, and I like STB CS recommendation. So, so rather than buying the calls AB and shelling out that, that 1900 bucks you could burn the money and be warm for about a minute. Yeah. I mean, that, that does provide some value. Um, I get behind that. I think there are other, you know, if you're not that risk averse, um, you know, there are other opportunities out there that will be not as risky.Um, but at the end of the day, some of the more risky trades to end up paying off in longterm, I'm not saying I'm going out and buy and Baba. But like I said earlier, if it gets down to the 120, $130 range, I'll be looking at contracts again. Okay. And hacks is throwing out another suggestion. This, this one, I th th this trade idea, I think is a little bit better than the STBC one use at $1,900.Don't buy the Baba calls and buy tacos,like ground beef. We talking chicken, pork taco, taco bell, for sure. 1900 tacos. Can we, um, what's the company yum. They own taco bell, right? Uh, it's sort of confusing. Uh, yum owns owns taco bell in certain geographies. I believe it operates through the following segments, KFC pizza hut, taco bell division habit, burger grill.I've never heard of habit for a good grill. Um, I don't know. I mean, this. Wow. It's been it's up over a hundred percent over the past year, or, you know, this symbol AB while we're on the topic you went on this one, what is it? Y U M C you know that one? Yum. See, oh, this one out China. Yeah. No, that key, uh, KFC is absolutely huge in China.I don't know why, but it is never been, everyone loves tacos. Yep. That's true. Yeah. I mean, yum. So, so here's the thing, Luke, look at this. So if I have, if I pull up the five-year chart, we can see right here where the COVID crash was and it got all the way down to $58 currently at 125. But even before COVID.I mean, it was at about 120 bucks and trading lower. I mean, it got all the way up to like way higher than its, uh, you know, pre COVID levels. And I think a lot of these fast food chains actually did pretty decent during COVID. Um, when people couldn't go sit down at restaurants and whatnot, you had food delivered.Um, so, so this could be interesting to me because if you think about it, if we go into another lockdown, they're going to be better off then, you know, we're not locking down again. I don't think, I think no way in hell. I, I think so either, but that's also good news for the stock that we're doing fully vaccinated.AB I am. I wonder where the chat is that people might not like this. I'm curious, the country's vaccine. Now I would guess the chats about 50, 50, I guess, about 55. If you want to vote, we're going to make you vote on stocks. We won't make you vote on this one. One, if you are too, if you're not, I was a holdout, but eventually got it.My point, uh, that I was going with Lucas that I think that I think yum is kind of insulated from any like coronavirus fears because w you know, everything goes, according to plan, people are going to be going out more, spending more money at drive-throughs. Um, and if something does happen, they're going to be in a better position than some of the relatives.Wow. This chat is exactly 50 50.It's boring to be Friesen too, but I have COVID born and I hope everything's okay in the comment right before that is one, but very Anthony mandate. Yeah. That's kind of where I stand too. I think it's very silly. Um, any mandate? I think, uh, obviously companies have a right to. Uh, you know, do like set any regular.Yeah. In addition to being tired, I'm all about private enterprise. Do it, do what you will. There are choices. I don't think like the New York city one, like, I'm totally against that. Like, I don't think cities or state entities, um, should be Amanda mandating max vaccines. But I think people that are upset that companies do it.It's like, look, companies do what they want. You know, you don't know if they brought that shit to Michigan, wholly. Oh, people would burn the state down. Yes. People would riot. Uh, no. It's producer AB yeah. I mean, that would really all let us know in the chat while you're watching today. I had my eyes on the cryptocurrency at large, obviously with the China news, not great.Um, you know, China outlawing cryptocurrency as a whole, I don't know. Uh, so, so in China, there's a funny, I just got a text message from. I mean Uber user, I've never been a driver, uh, asking if I sit, inviting me to be an Uber driver. I wonder if the store, I mean, we're struggling with drivers right now, which could potentially drive up prices of Uber's if there's a shortage of supply.Um, so I don't know. I don't, I hate Uber stock. I just absolutely hate it. We never traded it before. I just. I don't like it. I'm not a fan. I'm not a fan of any of 'em. Oh, grub hub. Isn't a stock anymore. They're like sold to just eat takeaway, um, dash I don't like any of these companies that are essentially, you know, what a stock I love that we haven't talked about in forever.The most tried and true steady grind stock of all time. Apple game stop. No, I'm just kidding. We haven't talked about it in awhile. Uh, for. No tried and true. Uh, I mean, apple would be my guess, put it up. I'm not even looking at them. I'm looking at my brokerage. Uh vis-a-vis. It just grinds man. And it pays a dividend to the reason why I'm bringing them this one up now is I was just looking through it through my brokerage account of looking at what's up and down.We haven't talked about this one for a while. It pays a dollar 20 a year dividends, not like it's a huge dividend. But it's just one of those stocks that I've owned forever plan on continuing to own forever. This is a five-year charter, zoom it out more. This is a ten-year chart. I mean, there's no quick rips or depths.We had that COVID of course, but generally speaking, I mean, it is a very study stock. It's a highly embedded stock, right. It's tough to work out of the economy. Um, you know, people are going to say crypto could be the thing that would, but I mean, come on, but let let's, let's give it a little bit of time there.Um, But, but visa. Great, great, great stock to sell. Puts against as well study income. You don't get a ton for selling the puts, but again, if you could assign the shares, uh, you're buying the stock below whatever it was trading at whenever you sold the puts and, and you're owning a very, very steady tried and true stock it's is a core holding in my brokerage core holding and we never talked.I mean, yeah. I think the, the, the credit card industry has been huge. We'll see a lot of these continue to grow. Um, why do you prefer visa compared to some of its competitors? I see MC in their MasterCard. No, no reason to tell you the truth. Okay. Now I have the reason look at this. So here's the 10 years.Oh, I didn't hit, see, wait, what's mastered. Oh wait. Oh, I'm a that's right. I'm a very similar chart. No reason. I guess, to tell you the truth visa is a stock that visa or MasterCard. I don't know. I think it would be so let's see. I think I have both. I got two. I have a work card and a personal card on me.Yeah. Both visas. Wow.I have a master Sarabi when we go to Orlando on the eighth. So does that two weeks from today.

James Owen Roberts is an entrepreneur, podcast host, and international speaker with over 15 years of experience in exercise, diet, and mindset as both a coach and 2x Paralympic athlete. In addition to running James Owen Roberts Coaching, he also serves as a Wheelchair Rugby League Ireland consultant. James was born to military parents at Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe (S.H.A.P.E). James’ mother was a NATO civilian for 33 years, and his father was a Master Sgt in the United States Air Force. He grew up on the base until he graduated from SHAPE American High School. James was born with a congenital disability called femoral dysplasia, also known as Proximal femoral focal deficiency (PFFD) or Congenital Femoral Deficiency (CFD). This rare, non-hereditary congenital disability affects the pelvis, particularly the hip bone and the proximal femur. The disorder affects James on the left side, with the hip being deformed and the leg shortened. Also, James was born with a floating hip and scoliosis of the spine. James only truly got involved with disability sport in 2002 at the age of 16 after swimming at age 11. He used the Manchester 2002 Commonwealth Games as a springboard to my future career as a High-Performance Athlete. There were many highs and lows along with his 10-year career in high-performance sport. James Owen Roberts quickly rose through the ranks within disability sport, and by 2003, he had already broken into British Swimming’s Development Squad. However, two years later, he was dropped from the program. James went home thinking he would become a regular student. Disability Sport Wales (DSW) performance director, Anthony Hughes, asked James to try his hand at rowing; James accepted and went on to compete at three world championships and finished 5th at the Beijing 2008 Paralympics. Then another opportunity to represent his country once more; however, it was an unexpected call-up to the World Championships in 2010 being held in Oklahoma. James says that it is surreal at times reading some of the old press releases, especially from his time at The University of Chester, where he studied for his Postgraduate Certificate in Sociology of Sport Exercise. The difficulty was he had to balance the Postgraduate course with his full-time training in the lead up to London 2012 back at Roehampton University, London, where Great Britan Volleyball was based. “Not just a state of mind… But a way of life.” - James Robert Owens James was very fortunate to be quite busy after the games, promoting Paralympic sport and talking about his experiences with school children in North Wales. He received an opportunity to speak at a college in London, and then in 2014, he was invited to talk on the Awaken Your Alpha podcast, which is how he ended up here with us today on the TRUE Success podcast.

Like, go listen to the first one. ----more---- When we last left Jeffrey Dahmer, he had just convinced a judge he was going to change his ways after molesting a child. Let's rejoin him a year later, shall we? On May 14th, 1990 Dahmer moves out of his grandmother's house where he had had to move back into it, because of the molestation charge and having just gotten out of jail and all that jazz. He moves into apartment 213 at 924 north 25th street and takes any momentos he'd kept from his previous victims, including the mummified head and genitals of Anthony Sears. Within one week of moving into his new apartment, he had already killed his sixth victim. Raymond Smith was a 32 year old sex worker who Dahmer lured to his apartment with the promise of $50 in exchange for sex at the apartment. He gave Smith a drink laced with seven sleeping pills and manually strangled him. The following day, Dahmer purchased a Polaroid camera with which he took several pictures of Smith's body in suggestive positions before dismembering him in the bathroom. This all becomes a very major part of his M.O. and, with very few exceptions, this is what he tends to do with the rest of his victims from here on out. He boils the legs and arms and also the pelvis in a steel kettle with Soilex, which allows him to then rinse the bones off in his sink. He dissolves the remainder of Smith's skeleton with the exception the skull in a container filled with acid. Dahmer later spray paints Smith's skull, and he places it alongside the skull of Anthony Sears upon a black towel inside a metal filing cabinet. About a week later - and it's on or about May 27th - Dahmer lures a young man to his apartment but he fucks up. Um, you know how he spikes the drink, right? He'll go and he'll be like, "oh, I'm going to make us a drink." And then he sneaks the sleeping pills into the one drink. Well, just this one time he forgets which drink is which and drinks the laced drink himself. He wakes up the next day and his intended victim stole a bunch of his close $300 and a watch. He doesn't report this to police, natch. You know, when you have like a severed head hadn't genitals, you don't report this. On May 29th, though, he does share that he'd been robbed with his probation officer because, remember, he's also still on probation, you know, for molesting a kid. In June of 1990 he brings a 27 year old acquaintance to the apartment named Edward Smith. He drugs and strangles Smith and instead of just immediately acidifying the skeleton or going through his normal process, he actually puts Smith's skeleton in his freezer for several months because he thought maybe it wouldn't retain as much moisture, which like from a scientific background, bruh, no, this is not going to work. Obviously it didn't work and then he acidified the body like later on. He'd destroyed the skull on accident because he placed it in the oven to dry and it exploded. It exploded! Later, he told police that he felt 'rotten' about Smith's murder since he didn't get to keep anything from the body. Less than three months later he meets a 22 year old Chicago native named Ernest Miller on the corner of north 27th street. Miller agrees to company Dahmer to his apartment for $50 and then is like, oh, you want to listen to my heart and stomach? Okay. Dahmer decides, 'mm, since I'm here I might as well try to suck your dick.' And Miller says, 'you know what, that's going to cost you extra.' So that's when Dahmer goes and grabs the drinks. He only had two sleeping pills to put in Miller's drink though. So he is out for a very short amount of time and when he wakes up suddenly in the middle of Dahmer doing stuff to him, Dahmer kills him by slashing his carotid artery and he does this with the same knife he uses to dissect the victims bodies. So it's a knife he really has taken time to like sharpen and make sure it's in the best possible form, which to be honest, is kind of a godsend in this type of a situation because I'd rather have something sharp nick my carotid and die quickly then try to have someone use like a very dull knife to do that. He bleeds to death within minutes, but not before Dahmer grabs his Polaroid camera and is like taking pictures of Miller dying and bleeding out. He puts Miller's body in the bathtub for dismemberment after he does the sex to it. While he is dismembering the rest of the body, he takes time to like kiss Miller's face and talk to him, which everything I read was really um, happy to point that out with this victim. But I'm pretty sure if you're going to do it to one victim, you probably do it to most victims. And let's be real. How many of us don't talk to random stuff when we're doing things? Like I talk to random stuff all the time, like, 'hey, cherry coke, how you doing? I'm going to put you in my mouth.' Um, which I am, but like, you know, I cannot be the only other person who does this and also isn't a serial killer. That's all I'm saying. He wraps Miller's heart, Miller's biceps, and parts of his legs in plastic bags and puts them in the fridge so he can eat them later. He boils the rest of the flesh and organs, and they turned into this jelly like substance because again he's using that Soilex and he wanted to keep the skeleton. So he rinses it off, puts the bones in this light bleach solution for 24 hours and then allows them to dry like, like you would with dishes, right. Um, and this is all stuff that his father had taught him to do - by the way. The severed head was initially placed in the refrigerator before being stripped of flesh and then painted and coated with an enamel, which is a smart move because at least it won't get as brittle as the other ones that he's had to discard at this point. He's learning. Three weeks after murdering Ernest Miller, on September 24th, Dahmer meets a 22 year old man named David. Thomas at the Grand Avenue Mall. It's a mall, but it's like weird because it's set up between several buildings and then there's like skywalks and like I, I was there like a decade ago going through the mall and being like, what the fuck is this place? It's weird. Anyway. It's not like Ye Grand Mall, okay? It's, it's a weird mall. Anyway, Dahmer persuades Thomas to come to the apartment for a few drinks and again with his MO of picking up people who are down on their luck or people who are sex workers. He offers money for nude photographs. Dahmer would later state that after giving Thomas a drink full of sedatives, he felt bad because he realized all of a sudden he wasn't attracted to Thomas, but he was still afraid to allow him to wake up in case he would have been angry about being drugged. So he decides to go through with strangling and dismembering. Since he wasn't attracted to Thomas, though, he intentionally doesn't keep body parts. He does take photographs throughout the dismemberment process and keeps them and honestly that's part of what led them to being able to identify this victim as being David Thomas. So, as creepy as it is that he took photographs - he didn't remember people's names, he probably didn't know many names - and these photographs at least allowed us to find the victim's families and let them know what had happened. I can't believe I'm saying I'm kind of grateful for these photographs. Jesus Christ. Um, okay. He doesn't kill anyone for like five months. He tries to bring a couple of guys back to his apartment during that time period. But like, you know, it just wasn't happening. So he takes all of that creative energy, you know, that you use when you do the same thing over and over again to dead bodies and starts planning the altar he wants in his apartment. And this is really interesting because it's got like different sets set ups. So he wanted this black shower curtain behind the altar, um, and was going to put that in front of a window. And then, um, I'll put a link in the show notes because this is wild. So on either side he's got skeletons that have been painted. And then there's a black table where he has the skulls that he's saved that have been painted. And then there's like one of those funky lights that has like several different bulb things coming down behind that in front of the window. And then he has like a little plaque above the window and a chair set up in front of the altar so that, you know, he could, uh, sit there and look at it. It's so creepy. He is also known to regularly complain of anxiety and depression to his probation officer throughout this time. And you know, talks a lot about being gay, being alone, not having a lot of money. And this is when he also starts talking about feeling suicidal. He was really careful if you think about it to select victims on the fringe of society. They were often itinerant or criminal or even criminal by association. They were children at times or even slightly older people, not too old, but still. And often he went after, men who were not white. Um, his first two victims were white. But I think the bulk of the rest of them are Black, Hispanic, Native American/Indigenous, and Asian. Like he picks people who are not white on a regular basis. And this actually led, once he's captured, to a lot of racial tension in Milwaukee, which is consistently battling with St Louis to be one the most segregated cities in the United States. Like whatever one is number one, the other one is either number two or three like it. They are consistently in the top three. Um, and just because it's 2019 doesn't mean that's changed a ton. I gotta tell Ya. In February of 1991, he observes a 17 year old named Curtis Straughter standing at a bus stop near Marquette University. He brings Straughter back to his apartment again with the idea of giving him money in exchange for nude photos. And he's also like, 'Hey, I'll pay you to do the sex.' Dahmer drugs and and strangles Straughter with a leather strap. Then dismembers him and keeps his skull, hands, and genitals. The head is put in the freezer along with several other heads at this point. On April 7th, he meets 19 year old Errol Lindsey who iss walking to get a key cut. Now Lindsey was straight, but Dahmer somehow gets him back to his apartment, drugs him, and this is where he starts his major experiment to try to zombify his victims because remember, he doesn't necessarily want them dead - and he later says this in interviews - but he wants them to not leave him. And what's the best way to get someone to not leave is to have complete control of them. And if somebody is in a Zombie like state, you can do that a lot easier then, uh, you can with just keeping them bound, especially in a safe way too. So, after being drugged, uh, Lindsey winds up with a hole in his skull - Dahmer drills a hole in and he pours hydrochloric acid right into Lindsay's brain. Lindsay wakes up, um, and says, 'I have a headache. What time is it?' He then collapses on the floor and, um, just keeps holding his head. At this point, Dahmer drugs him again and strangles him because he's like, well, this didn't work. He decapitates Lindsey, keeps his skull, flays the body, and actually places his skin in this solution of cold water and salt AKA like a brine for several weeks because he wanted to keep it. But of course that doesn't work. Um, so he tosses it eventually. At this point his apartment smells like awfulness and the other residents in the Oxford apartment building are continually like repeatedly complaining to management about foul smells, about falling objects, about hearing a chainsaw, etc. The manager Sopa Princewill contacts Dahmer in response to these complaints several times. Although Dahmer initially excuses the odors because he's like, 'aw, my freezer keeps breaking. And the, you know, the stuff inside got spoiled.' 'Oh my tropical fish just died. So they're kind of smelly and I haven't had a chance to like clean everything out,' et cetera. But we'll come back to his neighbors cause it will get wild. Anthony Hughes is a friend of Dahmer's and he's Deaf and mute. Um, so he can't hear and he can't speak. He communicates by signing with his hands and also by lip reading for people who don't know how to sign back to him. They are hanging out somewhere else when Dahmer's like, 'hey, you want to hang out at my house?' So they go back to the house, he drugs Hughes, drills a hole in a skull, and injects acid like he previously tried. But this time - and I'm not sure if it's because of the volume or the location of where he drilled - um, the injection winds up killing Hughes and Dahmer gets really sad about that. Like, he didn't want to kill his friend, he just wanted to keep him around and um, he gets really depressed. Like, I don't know... If you don't want to kill your friend, maybe don't do stuff that could kill your friend? That's all I'm saying. That's why I don't text and drive with friends in my car - only on my own. Um, he leaves Anthony's body to rot on his bedroom floor before dissolving it in acid several days later. And actually his body comes into play in this extremely close call I'm about to talk about. On the afternoon of May 26th in 1991, he meets a 14 year old kid on Wisconsin Avenue. The kid's name is Konerak and I cannot pronounce the last name because I am so white. Um, I'm going to try [failes miserably several times] Sinthasomphone. Um, I'm just going to keep calling him Konerak because I don't want to mess up his name several times. Um, he approaches Konerak and is like, 'Hey, I'll give you money for pictures.' And the kid's like, 'okay.' Um, actually the kid's really reluctant at first and then comes with him. He poses for two pictures in his underwear before Dahmer drugs him. Um, while he's drugged, he performs oral sex on this kid. And it's important to note this kid is actually the younger brother of the boy Dahmer molested in 1988 and was convicted of molesting after the kid had to go get his stomach pumped, um, from being drugged. And you know, the kid didn't know that Dahmer was that guy. He didn't remember. This is a couple years later. Um, but Dahmer also doesn't recognize kind of the familial resemblance. Um, it's not until quite a long ways later that they figure this out. But while Konerak is drugged, Dahmer drills a hole in his skull and injects hydrochloric acid right into the frontal lobe - o the front of your head. Before Konerak falls unconscious, Dahmer leads him into the bedroom where Anthony Hughes' body is sitting on the floor naked. And Dahmer says that he believed Konerak saw the body, but Konerak didn't react to it, which is probably because of a mixture of being really sedated and then also, I don't know, having acid in your brain. Soon, Konerak passes out. Dahmer drinks several beers while sitting there next to him and then is pretty sure that the experiment has failed again. He is really upset. So, now that he's out of alcohol, he decides he's going to go drink at a bar and then buy alcohol and come back and he's gone for a few hours. Konerak manages to not only wake up but to escape despite being injured and being incredibly out of it. Um, this kid was a bad ass. Dahmer's neighbor Sandra Smith calls police to report that there's an Asian boy running naked in the street and it's the early hours of the next day when Dahmer comes back to his apartment and he is greeted by Konerak sitting naked on the corner of 25th and state speaking in Lao - cause he he's Laotian - with three distressed, uh, young ish women standing near him. He approaches the trio and explains that Konerak - he uses a fake name by the way - was his friend and tries to get him back into the apartment, but the women are like, 'oh no, no, no, motherfucker. We called 911.' So, 2 officers show up - John Balcerzak and Joseph Gabrish. Dahmer is like really relaxed and he knows he's got to put on a show. So he tells the officers that Konerak who was 14 was his 19 year old boyfriend who had had too much to drink after they fought. And that he just acts like this a lot when he's drunk. The three women were like, 'Excuse the fuck out of me. Do you see that this kid is like actively bleeding from his ass and that he doesn't want to go anywhere with Dahmer? And like, this kid has been hurt.' The officers tell her to butt out, shut the hell up, and not to interfere in this "domestic situation." So the officers have a towel with them, they wrap Konerak up in it and bring him back to Dahmer's apartment. They do try to verify the claim that Dahmer and Konerak lovers. So Dahmer shows them like these pictures he'd just taken of the kid along with his neatly folded clothing - because if he was a victim, why would he fold his clothing, et cetera. The officers later report having noted a strange smell that kind of smelled like shit, um, inside the apartment. And clearly it was coming from Hughes' decomposing body. Dahmer stated that to investigate this, one of the officer's peeked his head around in the bedroom, but he clearly didn't take good look because he missed the body on the floor. The officers leave and tell Dahmer to take good care of Konerak. The thing is, had these officers done their due diligence and at least run a background check, um, like run Dahmer through their system? They would have seen that he was a convicted child molester and on probation. Um, and probably would have investigated this more deeply, especially since this kid is clearly a kid. Like I know it might be hard to tell whether someone's 14 or 19, but I think when you add the layer on that he's a convicted sex offender, that that gets less difficult. The cops leave and Dahmer's like, 'okay, time for round two.' He injects hydrochloric acid right into the frontal lobe again and um, kills Konerak. He takes the next day off of work to devote the entire day to dismembering the bodies of both Konerak and Hughes, and he keeps their skulls. Within a few days, there's an article that appears in the local paper about Konerak being missing and one of the women who had tried to protect him that night calls the police to tell them that like this was that kid. The police don't follow up with her at all. So we've had two spots right here where women - and probably honestly Black women - are saying like, 'Hey, this is this guy. This is what he's doing. Hello.' And police failed to investigate throughout this, this like giant murder period, right? Dahmer is able to maintain his job at Ambrosia Chocolate Factory. His friends and family weren't really suspicious even when they came to his house cause he would take care to really clean up before he let people come over. If he knew his family was coming, you know, he'd clean up, et cetera. The only thing that his father was suspicious of is, you know, Dahmer hasn't revealed that he's gay. By now, Lionel is like, 'yeah he gay - probably,' but they don't talk about it because toxic masculinity. To quell the neighbors, Dahmer by now has had a 57 gallon drum put in his apartment that he's filled with hydrochloric acid. So this way he's able to like dissolve bodies right away - very quickly - and has multiple ways of doing so, meaning less smell at this point. He also knows he needs to change things up a bit because that was really close call with Konerak. So he decides to take a Greyhound bus - cause he doesn't drive - to Chicago, which is about, well on a greyhound bus it's probably closer to three hours of a trip. You can make it in like an hour and a half depending on how fast you're going. That's all I'll say. On June 30th he meets a 20 year old named Matt Turner at the bus station. Turner is like, 'okay, I'll come with you to Milwaukee' because Dahmer has convinced him that he is a professional photographer and is going to have a photo shoot. At Dahmer's apartment, he drugs, strangles, and dismembers Turner, placing his head and internal organs in separate plastic bags in the freezer. Everything else was put into a vat of acid. Turner winds up not ever being reported missing. Five days later on July 5th, he lures a 23 year old - mm, I've seen his name either as Jeremy or Jeremiah. I'm going to go with Jeremiah - Jeremiah Weinberger from a Chicago bar to his apartment to spend the weekend with him. Before accepting the offer, Jeremiah asked a friend who he was at the bar with if the friend thought Dahmer was a safe person and that this would be okay. And the friend was like, 'okay, yeah, no, he seems really nice' - like after having a conversation. The two actually wind up having a really nice couple of days, um, until Weinberger's like, 'hey, I really got to go home. Like I have to go to work and shit.' And of course that's the part Dahmer hates. So he drugs Weinberger after requesting one last drink together. He twice injects boiling water into Weinberger's skull. The first time it didn't seem to work at all and Weinberger wakes up seemingly okay. Dahmer drugs him a second time and does the second injection that sends him into a coma and he actually dies 2 days later. During this kind of waiting period. Dahmer's like, 'okay, I'll go to work. Like, it's fine.' Even after that close call, which I think is brazen. Um, and he comes home after a shift to discover Weinberger dead. The body is dismembered and dissolved an acid, but the head is added to the growing collection in the freezer. The friend who greenlit Weinberger's visit to Dahmer's place later commit suicide because he feels hella guilty. I know what you're thinking right now. Uh, with all of these heads and body parts in the freezer, Dahmer was running outta room, right? He was. Like, honestly, he had no room for real food in his fridge or his freezer. Um, that really didn't stop him. On July 15th, he meets 24 year old Oliver Lacy at the corner of 27th and Kilburn. Lacy was an aspiring body builder and had just moved to Milwaukee from Illinois to live with his girlfriend and their kid. And Dahmer was like, 'Ooh, I like the muscle boys.' So, again, the proposition of posing nude and Lacy agrees. He goes back to Dahmer's apartment and they do some sexy times before Dahmer drugs him. Dahmer really wanted to spend as much time as possible with Lacy while Lacy was alive. So he tries to render Lacy unconscious with chloroform, which does not work. He has to strangle Lacy. And then, um, he has sex with the corpse before dismembering him. He placed Lacy's head and heart in the refrigerator and his skeleton in the freezer. And he had asked for like a days absence during all of this from work, which was granted, but then he was suspended because he kept missing work, right? And then his performance was getting shit. And on the 19th, he actually gets word that he's fired. He doesn't get to come to work anymore and he's distraught, he's pissed. And he goes to bar and approaches 25 year old father of three, Joseph Bradehoft. Like many other victims, he promised cash in exchange for nude photos. Bradehoft was strangled and left laying on Dahmer's bed covered with a sheet for two days. And on the 21st he removes the sheets to find Bradehoft's head covered in maggots. It's gross. He decapitates the body then cleans the head and places it in the refrigerator - which like, brah, that just had maggots - like, why? He later acidifies Bradehoft's torso along with those of the other two victims he killed within the previous month - so along with Lacy's body and Weinberg's. So that's kind of the end of his lucky streak. On July 22nd, 1991, he approaches three men with an offer of $100 to accompany him to his apartment to pose nude for photographs again. Um, but he throws in like, 'Hey, I've got a bunch of beer we can drink and we could just hang out.' Out of the trio, one of them agrees to come to the apartment and that's 32 year old Tracy Edwards. The other two agree to come party later, but Dahmer gives them the wrong address so they don't interrupt his fun. Upon entering Dahmer's apartment, Edwards notices it smells and also sees the acid on the floor. And he asks about it and Dahmer's like, 'Oh yeah, like I do Xyz for work. I use those to clean bricks.' Dahmer keeps pressuring Edwards to get naked and drink a spiked drink and he quickly changes from the sweet talker Dahmer from the bar to very pushy and angry. Edward's decides he probably should leave, and Dahmer distracts him and put a handcuff on his wrist. By the time Edwards is like, 'wait, what's happening?' Um, Dahmer brings Edwards to the bedroom to pose for nude pictures. While inside the bedroom, Edwards notes that there's nude male posters on the wall and that there is a video tape of The Exorcist III playing. This was Dahmer's favorite movie at the time and especially during those last couple of weeks - he got increasingly obsessed with it for some reason, nobody knows. Edwards also notes that 57 gallon drum in the corner that smells. Dahmer brandishes a knife and informs Edwards he intends to take nude photos of him. So Edwards unbuttons his shirt and says he would allow him to do that as long as he takes off the handcuffs and puts the knife away. In response to the promise, Dahmer simply just turns his attention towards the TV. Edwards sees Dahmer rocking back and forth and chanting before turning his attention back to Edwards. He places his head on Edwards' chest, listens to his heartbeat, and then with the knife pressed up towards his neck says that he intends to eat Edwards' heart. Edwards repeatedly says, 'you know, I'm your friend. I'm not going to go away. I promise. Like you don't have to worry, you don't need to attack me.' In his head, Edwards had already decided he was going to have to jump from a window or bolt through the unlocked front door at the next opportunity he had. Edwards says he needs to go to the bathroom and then he asks if they could sit with a beer in the living room because that's where the air conditioning unit was. And Dahmer agrees. So the pair walk to the living room. As soon as Edwards is done in the potty, inside the living room, Edwards waits until he observes that Dahmer has a momentary lapse of concentration. And then he asks to use the bathroom again. So Edwards gets up from the couch, saw that Dahmer was not holding onto the handcuffs, and he turns & punches Dahmer in the face - which knocked him off balance - and Edwards bolts for the front door. By about 1130 - and this is on July 22nd - he has flagged down 2 Milwaukee police officers at the corner of North 25th Street. Um, it took a while for them to understand this was not a domestic thing, but they did notice that he had handcuffs on his wrist. Um, and Edwards explains to them that a "freak," that's what he said, had placed the handcuffs on him and asked if the police could remove them. The police officers try but their keys failed to fit that brand. So Edwards, um, agrees to show the officers where this apartment was that he just spent, you know, several hours and they go. Dahmer invites the three people inside and acknowledges that yeah, he did put handcuffs on Edwards, but he says nothing about why - not a thing. And normally he's so quick with those explanations. At this point, Edwards also tells the officers Dahmer had brandished a very large knife and that this had happened in the bedroom. Dahmer says nothing about that. And he tells one of the officers that the key to the handcuffs was in his bedside dresser in the bedroom. So that officer goes to enter the bedroom. Dahmer tries to kind of block him to get the key himself. And the second officer tells him to back the fuck off. In the bedroom, [Officer] Muller notices that there is indeed a large knife beneath the bed. He also sees an open drawer which, upon closer inspection, contains tons of Polaroid pictures... Not only of naked dudes, but also of, like, the dismemberment process. He notes that the decor in the photos is the same as the apartment that they are in right now. He walks in the living room and shows them to his partner Robert Rauth and says, uh, these are real. When Dahmer sees that Muller's holding several of the Polaroids, he starts fisticuffs with the officers to try to resist arrest. They quickly overpower him, cuff his hands behind his back, and call a second squad car for backup. At this point, Muller is, um, you know, looking around, doing more investigating and opens the refrigerator to reveal the freshly severed head of a black man sitting on the bottom shelf. He's later recalls that he heard someone screaming before realizing that it was him. Like he was screaming himself. Dahmer is pinned on the floor by Rauth and he turns his head towards the officers and mutters the words "for what I did, I should be dead." Uh, yeah. Well, Edwards is deemed a hero. The publicity also is a negative thing for him. It helps the state of Mississippi catch up with him. They had a warrant out for his arrest due to sexually assaulting a 14 year old girl. Um, at least allegedly. He's arrested and charged with a crime, but I can't find anything about the outcome. I tried. By 2011, he is back in Milwaukee. He is homeless and he gets into a fight with two other homeless men, one of whom falls off of a bridge that they are on and drowns. Edwards winds up with time in prison and probation for, um, like aiding and abetting because - Well, one of the things that I saw said the guy just fell off. The other thing that I saw said the other guy pushed him off and then Edwards stayed quiet. And so that's why he got charged. I don't know. I don't know. But that shit's gone down. Back to Dahmer in 1991. A more detailed search at the apartment conducted by the Criminal Investigation Bureau reveals a total of four severed heads in Dahmer's kitchen. There are seven skulls - some painted, some bleached - in his bedroom and inside a closet. They discover collected blood drippings upon a tray at the bottom of Dahmer's fridge because apparently motherfucker does not clean that shit out. They also find 2 human hearts, part of an arm muscle, and those are all wrapped inside plastic bags on the shelves. In Dahmer's freezer, they discover an entire torso - plus a bag of human organs and flesh is stuck to the ice at the bottom of the freezer. [humorous wretching noises] They also discovered two skeletons, a pair of severed hands, 2 severed and preserved penises, a mummified scalp, and in the 57 gallon drum, three further dismembered torsos dissolving in the acidic solution. Um, there winds up being a total of 74 Polaroid photos that detailed dismemberment and sexual stuff. The chief medical examiner later states that it was more like dismantling someone's museum than an actual crime scene. Beginning in the early hours of July 23rd, Dahmer is questioned by detectives Patrick Kennedy and Patrick Murphy as to the murders he committed and the evidence found at his apartment. Over the following two weeks, the detectives conduct numerous interviews with Dahmer which, when combine,d wind up equaling to about 60 hours of face to face time with this motherfucker. He had waived his right to have a lawyer present and said he wanted to confess because he had "created this horror and it only makes sense. I do everything to put an end to it." He readily admits to having murdered 16 men in Wisconsin since 1987 and Steven Hicks back in Ohio in 1978. The detectives, uh, wind up being floored and disgusted because Dahmer's so matter of fact about all of this. He readily admits to performing necrophilia with several of his victims' bodies including performing sexual acts with their viscera as he dismembers their bodies in the bathtub. Now, um, what this means I have sadly learned is that he, you know... In the process of dismemberment, he cuts a hole, say like in the dude's belly button. And especially if the body is still a little warm, your body retains the most warmth in your core. I mean, you can tell if you go outside when it's cold, like your arms get cold, your legs get cold, but your core usually stays warmer because it has to cause you have like your heart and shit. Okay. So again, he, let's say he cuts a dude in the belly button and the body's kind of warm and that's a hole for things to go in... Yeah, it's gross. Uh, it's so gross. Mm. He noted that a lot of blood pooled inside his victims chests after death. So he usually would remove their internal organs first and then he'd suspend the torso. So all the blood drained into the bathroom. He then would dice any organs he didn't want to keep and then pull flesh off the body. Bones that he wanted to dispose of we're pulverized or, um, acidified with Soliex, and bleach solutions were used to aid in the preservation of skeletons and skulls that he wanted keep. He confessed to having consumed hearts, livers, biceps, and portions of thighs of several victims that he'd killed within the last year describing the increase in his rate of killings in the two months prior to his arrest. He's stated he'd been completely swept along and added. "It was an incessant and never ending desire to be with someone at whatever cost. Someone good looking, really nice looking. It just filled my thoughts all day long." This is, uh, I don't know why this is so wild to me. I mean, I do because it's a wild case, but it's, it feels so disturbing. When asked why he had preserved seven skulls and the entire skeletons of two victims, he shared about his private altar that he wanted to make. The display of skulls was to be adorned at each side with the complete skeletons of Ernest Miller and Oliver Lacy. The 4 severed heads in the kitchen we're going to be removed to all flesh and used on the altar and he still needed one more victim to complete the skull number that he wanted on this altar. Incense sticks we're going to be placed at the end - each end of this table above which he was going to put a large blue lamp with extending blue globe lights. It those lights that are like an octopus thing, right? So you've got the stand and then there's several different arms with the, with these blue globe lights. And this is, again, all to be placed in front of a window that had been covered with a black opaque shower curtain. And then he was going to sit in front of it in a black leather chair. In a November 18th, 1991 interview, they asked who the altar was dedicated to and he said "myself. It's a place I could feel at home." He further described it as kind of a place for meditation where he felt he could draw power from, and he felt that if they had arrested him six months later, that they would have already seen the altar - that it would be complete which, at the rate he was going, I could see it. Um, I don't know if the whole thing would be complete, but he had at least have all the components he wanted. He also - it's interesting - he explained that things he does to the bodies like preserving certain parts, taking souvenirs in the form of body parts, et cetera. Um, the photos, whatever. All of that was a way of remembering. And this is, this part's a quote, "remembering their appearance, their physical beauty. I also wanted to keep - if I couldn't keep them here with me whole, at least I felt I could keep their skeletons." On July 25th, 1991, he is charged with four counts of murder and by August 22nd, he is charged with a further 11 counts in the state of Wisconsin. Again, brings the grand total up to 15. on September 14th, investigators in Ohio have like, by this time they have gone back to his childhood home and explored the woods right there and found a shit ton of bone fragments. They formally identify two mplars and a Vertebra with x ray records of Steven Hicks and he's charged by authorities in Ohio with Steven's murder. He winds up not being charged with the attempted murder of Tracy Edwards or with the murder of Steven Tuomi. Now for Tuomi, it was because the Milwaukee County district attorney only wanted to bring charges where there could be no reasonable doubt. And since Dahmer didn't actually have a memory of killing Tuomi, um, and there was like no physical evidence of it, they didn't feel like they had enough to proceed - And that including that within this larger, um, number of charges could actually hinder the ability for him to be charged successfully and like convicted. At a scheduled preliminary hearing on January 13th, 1992 he pleads guilty but insane to 15 counts of murder. His trial begins on January 30th, 1992 - the day my sister was born. I spent the day like in the hospital holding her while she slept after she was born. While she was getting pushed out, like watching The Jungle Book. Um, I dunno, for me, it was a great day. He was tried in Milwaukee for those 15 counts before Judge Laurence Gram. By pleading guilty and on the 13th, he had waived his rights to that initial trial to establish guilt, um, something that is at least required by Wisconsin law. The issue debated by opposing attorneys then is whether or not he was sane. The prosecution says that any disorders he did have clearly did not, um, deprive him of the ability to appreciate how wrong his actions were - and/or I guess that they wouldn't have deprived him of the ability to control his impulses. And the defense were like, "Nah." I mean, basically their experts argued thought he was insane due to his necrophilic drive. And one of their experts, Dr Fred Berlin, testifies that Dahmer's unable to conform his conduct at the time he committed crimes because he was suffering from necrophilia, which is also known as paraphilia. Dr. Judith Becker, who is a professor of psychiatry and psychology, was their second witness, who also, you know, comes at them with that diagnosis. And then forensic psychiatrist, Dr Karl Walstrom not only diagnosis Dahmer with that, but throws in borderline personality disorder, schizotypal personality disorder, alcohol dependence, and a psychotic disorder. All of that is a lot. But I also want us to step back and take a look at - are there people with BPD, borderline personality disorder that don't kill people? Oh yeah. Are there people who have schizophrenia or any similar disorder and don't kill people? Like all of them. Um, what about people who are dependent on alcohol? Oh, good amount of them don't kill people unless they're driving. I just want us to take a look at that because, yes, you could have those things, but those things do not drive someone to kill. Having a mental illness, having a chronic illness, having a disability, those things do not make it more likely for you to commit crimes. In fact, they actually make it more likely for you to be a victim of crimes. Um, and depending on your diagnosis, that can be anywhere from up to like two times more likely, all the way up to like 10 times more likely then, you know, the average mentally abled person. So I just wanna throw that out there. There will be links in the show notes for ya'll to educate yourself further on that if that's something you're into. This is the social justice corner for the week. Having a chronic illness, disability or mental health issue does not make you a murderer. Thank you for coming to my tedtalk. Okay. Back to this, right. The prosecution is like, "no, he's not insane." Um, one of their experts, forensic psychiatrists, Dr Philip Resnick testifies that, yeah, Dahmer likes to do the sex to dead people, but it's not a primary condition because he actually prefers live sexual partners - which is why he was trying to zombify people, right? He doesn't want them dead. He just wants him to do exactly what he wants them to do. He wants control. And so it's not true necrophilia. Another one of their experts, Dr Fred Fosdel says that he believes Dahmer was without mental disease or defect of the time he committed these murders. He says Dahmer is calculating and cunning, able to differentiate between right and wrong, and definitely able to control his own actions. He does believe necrophilia is something Dahmer deals with, but also says he's not like a sadist. He's not necessarily, um, you know, going out with this need to harm people. Um, it's essentially derived from - I'm on a wiki spiral. It's derived from the Marquis de Sade. So sadists are people who derive pleasure if they, or someone else is undergoing pain. And it can actually be a part of personality disorders, which I mean, again, we're going to take a look at and say, hmm, does it make it, does it make you a terrible person? If you have a personality disorder? No. Does it mean you're going to do bad things? No. Anyway, um, the final witness for the prosecution is forensic psychiatrist Park Dietz, and um, he begins his testimony on February 12th. He says, the Dahmer's completely sane. Um, because you know, he's gone to great lengths to be alone with his victims. He's gone to great lengths to have no witnesses. There's ample evidence that he was really prepared. These crimes were not impulsive, um, and all of that. Right? So he believes, too, that Dahmer's alcohol dependence before committing murder is something that's significant. And he says, if he had a compulsion to kill, he would not have to drink alcohol. He had to drink alcohol to overcome his inhibition to do the crime, which he would rather not do. I think that's really important. He also notes the Dahmer strongly identifies with evil and corrupt characters from The Exorcist III - which we already know he's obsessed with - and also Return of the Jedi. He also really identified with the power that these evil corrupt characters had. He saw himself on a similar level. Dahmer would occasionally like wash his favorite scenes from these movies before he went out and looked for a victim and really took power from them, which is creepy. It's creepy. Don't turn my Star Wars into your creepy stuff. I know this was before me, but don't do it - well, not before me, like before I was super obsessed with Star Wars. Given the fact that the majority of Dahmer's victims were African American. Um, there were, like I mentioned, some big racial tensions. Um, it got to the point where we were having a number of, um, you know, racial justice leaders coming in to lead marches, give talks, et cetera. Strict security precautions were taken around the trial. So there was an eight foot barrier of bulletproof glass between Dahmer and other people. Um, one of the things that also pissed off people was there was only one Black person on the jury, which like, I don't know, I'm sorry, but if a lot of this, a lot of what this person has done is negatively affected the Black community locally, you should have more than one Black person on the jury. Also like one Black person on a jury in Milwaukee is not, um, it does not represent a jury of your peers. Like I'm just going to be honest. Like it's just like in everywhere else. You wouldn't just have one Black person on a jury. It's, it makes me mad. Anyway. Um, and then another thing to note is that Lionel Dahmer, Jeffrey's Dad and his second wife, um, attended the trial throughout. Two court appointed mental health professionals both independently testifyed - forensic scientist George Palermo and clinical psychologist Samuel Friedman. Palermo thinks that the murders were result of pent up aggression the Dahmer had within himself. He wanted to kill these men cause he thought they were attractive. And so like he was trying to kill what he hated in himself and also thinks that Dahmer's a sexual sadist who has antisocial personality disorder but is sane. It's amazing how many different personality disorders they're going to try to diagnose Dahmer with - amazing. Um, Friedman testifies that it was more of a longing for companionship that caused him to kill. He says Dahmer's not psychotic, speaks kindly of Dahmer. Um, talks about how he's amiable, pleasant to be with. Nice, funny, handsome, (I don't think so) charming, et cetera. He diagnoses Dahmer with a personality disorder not otherwise specified, featuring borderline, obsessive-compulsive, and sadistic traits. I will say out of all of the diagnoses, um, that one may feel like it fits the most. Um, I'm not a psychologist, I'm not a mental health professional, but I do think that it is important to note when a personality disorder or any other, you know, mental illness has certain traits. So maybe it's just that like, I like how it's laid out. I don't know. I don't know these things. It just feels somehow a better fit than some of the others. Perhaps it also includes because it includes the obsessive compulsive trait. I don't know. Anyway, the trial lasted two weeks. On February 14th, both lawyers give their closing arguments. They speak for like two hours. The defense attorney Gerald Boyle goes first and keeps referring to the mental health professionals - just about everyone said he had some sort of mental health issue. And, um, one of the big sticking points, and it's been quoted in a lot of different things, is that he says that Dahmer's compulsive killings had been a result of "a sickness he discovered, not chose." He keeps painting Dahmer as desperately lonely, profoundly sick, out of control. Um, and you know, I can see where that could sway some people on the jury. After that, Michael Mccann delivers his closing argument for the prosecution. He describes Dahmer as sane, in full control. He simply strove to to avoid detection. He argued that that first murder in Milwaukee - again because this is for all the Milwaukee/Wisconsin crimes - that it was committed hostility and anger and resentment and frustration and hatred and all these big negative feelings and that each victim "died merely to afford Dahmer a period of sexual pleasure." He further argued that by pleading guilty but insane to the charges, Dahmer was trying to avoid accountability or responsibility for his actions. The next day, February 15th, the court reconvenes to hear the verdict. Dahmer was ruled to be sane - not suffering from a mental disorder at the time of each of these murders - although in each count, two of the 12 jurors signified their dissent. On the first two counts, Dom Dahmer was sentenced to life imprisonment plus 10 years with the remaining 13 carrying a mandatory sentence of life imprisonment plus 70 years. The death penalty was not an option because, we in the great state of Wisconsin had that abolished in 1853. Dahmer addressed the court later on and he said, Your Honor, it is over now. This has never been a case of trying to get free. I didn't ever want freedom. Frankly, I wanted death for myself. This was a case to tell the world that I did what I did not for reasons of hate - I hated no one. I knew I was sick of evil or both - now I believe I was sick. The doctors have told me about my sickness and now I have some peace... I take all the blame for what I did... I should have stayed with God,” he said. “I tried and I failed, and created a holocaust." [audibly cringing] We're going to get back to that statement in a second. I just want to finish this part. In addition to expressing remorse for victims and their families, he expressed remorse for causing two policemen to lose their jobs - the policemen that failed to rescue Konerak. He said, "I hope and pray that they get their jobs back because I know they did their best and I just plain fooled them." In both of these statements we see his cockiness, right? "I've created a holocaust." Holocaust is such a big grandiose genocidal act, which is not what he did. And all of these poor cops, I just fooled them. It's not their fault, I'm just that good. Even in this statement, he is reasserting his control of these situations and reasserting the fact that he is better than everyone else in that room. And honestly he's probably doing it with a boner. Let's be honest. People like this thrive and get thrills out of having power over other people. I mean, it's what they do, right? Of course, the statement really wasn't consoling and definitely wasn't convincing. There were a number of powerful impact statements from family members that were read. And, um, so far I've only found one video that puts together a lot of snippets of, um, some of those statements, but I'll put that link to that video in the show notes. Um, there's a really, it's really important I think, to read them, to remember that this is not just like, Ooh, creepy story, but look, this case affected so many more lives than just - 'just' - these 17 people that Jeffrey killed and then his own family, right? It's these people's families, these people's friends. It's Weinberger's friend who commits suicide, right? Because of saying that Dahmer seemed like he was okay. Um, all of these different people struggling with the actions of this man. One of the most impactful victim statements is at the very end of that video Um, so please watch it because I think that's important. Upon hearing of Dahmer's sentencing, his father and his stepmother request to be allowed a 10 minute private meeting with him before he's transferred to the Columbia Correctional Institution in Portage to begin his sentence. The request is granted and they exchange hugs, um, and well wishes before Dahmer is escorted to begin his sentence. Three months after that conviction, he's extradited to Ohio to be tried for the murder of Steven Hicks. It's really just a formality at this point because, again, he has confessed. So the court hearing lasts just 45 minutes. He again pleads guilty and he's sentenced to a 16th term of life imprisonment on May 1st, 1992. After that, he has transferred back to the Columbia Correctional Institution in Portage, Wisconsin. Um, Portage is in again, Columbia County - it's the Columbia correctional facility, right? It is technically part of the Madison metropolitan area, but to be honest, I don't know that I would consider it that. Um, it is really... I mean, I guess? It's north of Madison and just to the east of Wisconsin Dells, so it makes sense to lump it in with Madison, but it's about a 45 minute drive. Like, it is not necessarily close, but I guess that's Wisconsin for ya, right? Hooray! For the first year of his incarceration, Dahmer is placed in solitary confinement. They were worried about his safety should he come into contact with fellow inmates. And we're talking like some of the worst people are in this prison. Right? You've got other serial killers, you've got other, um, rapists, other molesters, and they all absolutely despise this man. I think there's something to be said with that. I don't know what, but... While Dahmer is isolated, he does have a television and access to books, so he's probably blasting like Exorcist III and reading all the Exorcist novels while he's holed up in his cell for a year. After that - and with his consent - he is transferred to a less secure unit after a year. Um, and then he is assigned like a two hour daily work detail, cleaning the toilets. He was actually really happy to get out of solitary because he felt his intrusive, disturbing thoughts were way more harmful than anything anyone else could do to him. He also didn't give a fuck if he lived or died. He had regular phone calls with his family. His father actually visited a lot, making the 11 hour drive from his home in Ohio. He really wanted to understand why Jeffrey committed these crimes, um. To that end, you know, he writes a book, he does a lot of interviews with Jeffrey. He tries to work to figure out the puzzle pieces that, you know, what, what was that last piece that slid into place that caused Jeffrey to really go from very excited, exuberant kid he'd been before that hernia surgery in his youth, right, to where he is now. Shortly after completing his lengthy confessions in 1991 he [Dahmer} had requested that he be given a Bible. And from then on he really devoted himself to being a Christian and you know, use the phrase 'born again.' And his father also like urged him to read a bunch of creationist bullshit. His father - Um, there is an interview I watched earlier, I'm sure it's in the links, but um, with Stone Phillips, and Stone Phillips asks Lionel what um, Lionel would have done had Jeffrey come out as gay, you know, without killing everyone. And Lionel said that he was - and this is paraphrasing, right? - he basically would have made him read the Bible and like try to do something to 'fix him' AKA probably send him off to conversion therapy camp. Which is terrifying. And if you don't know about conversion therapy camps, y'all - whoooo - I'm going to put a link in the shownotes - a couple lins for you to checkout. Um, one of which is a great episode of the podcast True Crime Obsessed (which I'm obsessed with). Um, I think that's the one called Jesus Camp. I mean, whatever one I put in the show notes is it, but if you've listened, you probably know which one I'm talking about. In May, 1994 Dahmer is baptized in the prison whirlpool by Roy Ratcliffe, who is a minister in the Church of Christ and a graduate of Oklahoma Christian University. He visits Dahmer on a weekly basis until Dahmer dies. And they regularly discuss things like death and whether or not Dahmer was sinning against God by continuing to live. And that's Dahmer bringing this up. in July, 1994, a fellow inmate Osvaldo Durruthy attempts to slash Dahmer's throat with a razor embedded in a toothbrush. Um, and it was right after Dahmer was coming back from Roy's weekly church service in the prison chapel. Dahmer gets, you know, some superficial wounds but doesn't wind up seriously hurt. They had a conversation and Dahmer's family said, you know, he'd been ready to die already and was ready to accept whatever punishments he might endure in prison. His mom, um, also retained regular contact with him at least over the phone, um, in contrast to like his dad and step mom coming to visit every so often. But prior to, um, Dahmer's arrest, he hadn't seen his mom since Christmas of 1983. Um, but now at this point he's talking to her on a weekly basis over the phone. And whenever she would express concerns about his wellbeing, he would say, 'you know, um, don't worry. Whatever happens, it'll be fine.' And this one's a direct quote: "It doesn't matter, Mom. I don't care if something happens to me." In a 1994 interview with Stone Philips - Okay, so this is the one I was just watching. It was on Dateline - Dahmer had stated that "If a person doesn't think that there is a God to be accountable to, then what's the point of trying to modify your behavior to keep it within acceptable ranges? That's how I thought anyway." So before he'd become, you know, Super Goddy, right? He didn't think there was any higher power and so he didn't think it mattered what his actions were. This is essentially what he's saying there. So now that he's born again, he realizes the error of his ways and all that good shit. Um, and supposedly wouldn't do this again. Supposedly. On the morning of November 28th, 1994 Dahmer left his cell to conduct his assigned work detail in the toilets. I just, I like the idea of Dahmer having to work in the shitter. Oh, I like it so much. Um, accompanying him were 2 fellow inmates, Jesse Anderson and Christopher Scarver. The trio wound up being left unsupervised in the prison gym, like shower, toilet area for approximately 20 minutes. And, at 8:10 AM, Dahmer is discovered on the floor of the bathrooms, suffering from extreme head and facial wounds. He had been severely bludgeoned in the head and face with a metal bar. His head had also been repeatedly struck against the wall - shit. Although he was still alive and then and then was quickly rushed to a nearby hospital, he died within an hour. Anderson had also been beaten with the same instrument and died two days later from his wounds. Scarver who had already been serving a life sentence for murder committed in 1990, um, comes clean. He tells authorities he attacked Dahmer first with the metal bar as Dahmer was cleaning a staff locker room before attacking Anderson as Anderson cleaned an inmate locker room. Um, they were in, you know, kind of separate areas, which is weird to me that they were still left on supervised - at all. According to Scarver, Dahmer did not yell or make any noise when he was attacked. He had been adamant at the time he had not planned the attacks in advance. He did later divulge to investigators that he concealed the 20 inch iron bar to kill both men in his clothing shortly before the killings, though. There were questions about how involved the prison staff might have been in these murders. Surprise. Scarver hadn't been on toilet detail until literally that morning. He completely loathed Dahmer. He carried around a newspaper clipping about Dahmer's crimes and just completely hated him. Additionally, it's highly irregular for guards to leave inmates alone together at a maximum security prison like Columbia. Hmm. Weird, isn't it? In 2015 Scarver, speaks to the New York post about his reasons for killing Dahmer. He alleged that he was disturbed not only by Dahmer's crimes, but by a habit of Dahmer, um, where he would take prison food and make it look like severed limbs and then squirt ketchup all over the place to look like blood. This fits very much in with the shit that he pulled as a kid, right? Um, and then he would like taunt and antagonize people. So that was part of the reasoning. And he also alleged that both Dahmer and Anderson had, um, taunted him during work detail while they were in completely different spots. He said he confronted Dahmer about his crimes and Dahmer seemed to be unrepentant and that's when he beat him to death. He also claimed the prison guards allowed the murders to happen and that's why they left him alone with these guys. One more thing about the death that puzzles me and many other people is that Dahmer was in really good physical shape. I mean, what do you do in prison? You work out like that's what you do - and I guess make jokes with your food. Um, he could easily have fought back. I mean, a metal bar is no joke, but like he could have fought back and Scarver says he didn't, and his wounds say he didn't. That just leads me back to this whole idea where he's shared his thoughts consistently from his teens even about being suicidal, about not deserving to live, and about questioning if living spits in the face of God. And it, it feels like he wanted it. Um, one of the things that I watched was talking about how, as a born again Christian, he knows that suicide is a no-no, but then if someone else killed you, that's not suicide and you don't necessarily have to fight back. Like I dunno. I thought that was an interesting thought. In Dahmer's will, he asked that there be no services conducted. And he stated he wanted to be cremated. And by September, 1995, he was, and his ashes were split between his parents. His estate was awarded to the families of 11 of his victims who had sued for damages. In 1996, Thomas Jacobson, a lawyer that represents eight of the families, announced that they were planning an auction of his estate. Although victims' relatives stated that the motivation wasn't greed, 'eople were like, oh my God, you're so greedy. Like, dude, I don't know, especially for the people who had kids - at this point, they've gone without, um, you know, the income that parent would have had. I don't know. It's not greed to ask for any sort of reparations or monetary or property payment. I would say like for wrongdoings that you've been through. I think honestly like early nineties peoples weren't there yet in the mindset there was not enough Judge Judy {laughs] I hate that bitch. She's an awful human being. So just FYI. A civic group, Milwaukee Civic Pride was quickly established in an effort to raise funds to purchase and destroy Dahmer's positions. They pledged a little over $400,000 including $100,000 gift by a Milwaukee real estate developer for the purchase of Dahmer's estate. Five of the eight families agree to the terms and Dahmer's possessions were subsequently destroyed and buried in an undisclosed landfill in Illinois. Oh my God. I accidentally scrolled like way up. That was terrifying. On August 5th, 1991 a candlelight vigil to celebrate and heal the Milwaukee community was put on and over 400 people attended. So it was really well attended. There were community leaders, gay rights activist, family members, and they really wanted it to be a spot for people to share their feelings of anger and pain and frustration. And it worked. You know, they got out those feels. And I think it did bring the community closer together, although it also definitely pointed out - like this whole shenanigan right pointed out the lack of fucks the police gave about queer people and especially queer people of color. That's still going on. And the recent serial killings in Toronto are a, uh, good way to say that this, uh, It's not a thing of the past. I'll put a link to that too. I'm going to put a link to everything. The Oxford apartments where Dahmer had killed 12 of his victims were demolished in November of [1992]. The site is a vacant lot still. Um, there've been like these thoughts about like, oh, how do we, how do we fix this piece of land? Do we build a memorial garden or a park or a playground or new housing? And it just never happens. Which honestly, from a ghost perspective, pretty glad about. Lionel released a book in 1994 called A Father's Story where he explores Jeffrey's life and tries to examine what happened. He also talks about their similarities. It's pretty interesting, like I watched a snippet of him reading some, and it was interesting. I think we all have some issues about having control over things. But Lionel tended to blame himself and then also his wife who had been on some medications during like her pregnancy with Jeffrey, that Lionel's pretty sure caused Jeffrey to be a serial killer. I don't think that's how it works, dude. In fact, I'm like 99.999999 to the ninth percent sure that's not how it works. Jeffrey's younger brother - cause remember he has a younger brother - David, he changed his last name. He lives in anonymity. He's not doing any fucking interviews and shit. He's not having it and honestly good for him cause fucking bullshit. I wouldn't want my sister to have to deal with that. I will say it's interesting. Um, there is an odd amount of pride that Wisconsinites seem to feel talking about Dahmer and it's weird. Um, there's an episode of the Netflix show Dark Tourist where he visits spots in the United States and one of the tours they go on is The Cream City Cannibal Tour and it is so disturbing. They make a lot of jokes, which like, okay, I'd probably laugh at the jokes, but then they have like some jump scares along the tour route and stuff? And that just feels wrong. I mean, the jokes are probably a bit much too, if we're honest, but like jump scares? it's wrong. Um, and I mean that tour had been shut down for a time to get it's shit back together before it started to back up. So there's some shit. Um, you know, the other thing is that there's just so much incredibly wrong when we have tours that are light hearted and also only exists to cash in and make light of what happened? And I would say, especially when those tours tend to attract white women. You know, the, the bulk of the audience on this Dar
