In der Kürze liegt die Würze. In der heutigen Episode besprechen wir für euch drei Kurzfilme. In "Jerk" werden auszugsweise grausame Taten eines amerikanischen Serienmörders mittels eines Puppentheaters rekonstruiert. In "The Fifth Thoracic Vertebra" geht es dann um einen Fungus, der in einer Matratze heranwächst und sich von den Brustwirbeln der Menschen ernährt, die auf ihr nächtigen.

Conversations With The Collective Series: In this episode, I will talk about the connection with God, how to feel yourself closer to the Source. I will answer four questions from the collective and give you a couple of meditations and rituals that will allow you to connect with God.First question: A girl is asking, “How can I feel closer to God?” She doesn't feel connected; it feels like she has a gap between her and God.Second question: A man that perceives himself as a sinner. He thinks that he is not worthy, he has a feeling of shame, he feels like he is not worthy of God, doesn't feel worthy of forgiveness, doesn't feel worthy of having a relationship with God.Third question: Is the stuff that written in the Bible true? She is worried that if she doesn't study the Bible she is not gonna be connected with God. She is asking, "How Should I perceive god?"Fourth question: "What are some of the rituals that can help me to connect with God and get guidance in my daily life?"***If you enjoyed the podcast, would you please consider living a short review on Apple Podcasts?

Ashlie 1: (00:17) Welcome back to another episode of Tactical Living by LEO Warriors on your host, Ashlie Walton. Clint 3: And I'm your co-host Clint Walton. Ashlie 1: In today's episode, Clint and I are not alone because we are joined by a very special guest by the name of Rick Psonak. Rick, how are you? So Rick, we asked you on our show because you told us a little bit about your background. We've known each other for some time now and I felt like I really wanted to give you a space to showcase a little bit about who you are. So I'll just dive in by sharing with the listener a little bit about your background myself and then we'll dive into some questions that allow really the world to get to know some of your story and how you've used your past to continue to benefit what I believe society as a whole. So a little bit about Rick. Ashlie 1: (01:11) Rick and I met in our Human Potential Institute Training. We are getting certified by uh, The Human Potential Institute and then potentially the ICF. We are coaches. And for Rick a little bit about things you've have shared with me about your background. Rick received his Bachelor of Science degree in orthotics and prosthetics from the University of Washington and he also went to Grad School for prosthetic and orthotic research from the University of Connecticut. Apart from that, in his journey, he has gone along the path to become the principal owner of a small Prosthetic business. They're laughing guys because that's probably the fifth time I've had a hard time pronouncing the word prosthetic… but he also specializes in microprocessors for prosthetic limbs in Jackson, Mississippi. Ashlie 1: (02:07) This this guy's background, we can go into talking about him starting a small silicon and manufacturing business that he's used for product development. He's also a business consultant and expert witness regarding issues concerning prosthetics. On top of that, he is a fellow of the American Academy of prosthetics and orthotics and he served two terms as a commissioner for the national commission of Orthotics and prosthetics education. If that wasn't enough. He has authored and coauthored chapters in textbooks and journals. In addition to that, Rick has also served in the United States army from 1974 to 1977 he is an ordained pastor. He is the cofounder coach and player of the sons of thunder basketball team and he's the founder of the epilogue life, which is a mission to be a resource and to set an example on how to thrive physically, spiritually, financially, and relationally as people age. That's quite a mouthful. Rick 2: (03:12) You made me sound better than I think I really am. Ashlie 1: (03:16) That's what I love about you, Rick. You had this humble way about you and I think that'll a lot of your history is very rich in the things that led you to be able to create this ability to serve other people. And if someone were to look at your biography, and of course this is from my, my point of view, I see this pattern of this continued desire and progression for being able to find ways to articulate your abilities to give back to other people. Can you tell me a little bit about that? Rick 2: (03:52) You know, I think growing up my mom was married five times and uh, and so at a very young age and so I grew up really trying to figure out what did it mean to be a man. And, uh, so I spent more time without a father than I did with the father. And, uh, I think that's part of it. Is this a journey? Trying to figure out what does that mean? What does it mean to be a man? And so I grew up in the inner city in Philadelphia. And so you had the street rats and you had athletes and you had all the different groups. And so I, I think it's just been a journey of figuring out what does it mean to be a person that, uh, has some sort of significance that has a sense of purpose and, and really the military was a big deal for me. Rick 2: (04:43) The only thing I knew about my dad is that he was in the army and, and I have pictures of him and my uncle who was also in the army. And so I thought maybe as, as I struggled through going to college and things like that, and I really was a terrible student, the only thing that I associated with being a man was being in the military. And so, uh, I guess as, as I think about the things I've done, it really goes back to that is that what does it mean to be a man, uh, to be a person that lives a life of significance. And, and certainly I've, over the years I've drawn a call it a correlation that being a person that lives a satisfied life somehow contributes to other people. Clint 3: (05:25) Right? So that's, that's amazing, you know, to really hear your story and to see what you've honed in on for your own past, uh, surrounding your journey and the military seems like it was huge for shaping you into what it was. And you went into the military at a hard time, you know, towards the end of the Vietnam War and just kind of gearing in towards that whole environment of, and Americana at that time, our, our country shifted within that point, within that timeframe from in the early seventies to where we are now. It's completely shifted. So did you actually serve in the Vietnam War? Rick 2: (06:14) No, I was at the very end of it. And so we were training as if, you know, something would still continue just like now with the Iraq war and uh, uh, it just seems like it's a never ending process. And so the same thing was going on at the time I was in is that there always seem to be some conflict. And so, and then I was in a combat unit that was, we were ready to go at any time. That was kind of our motto. Clint 3: (06:41) Hmm. So in that, I'm sure you saw a lot of soldiers coming back from the war within your youth at that time. You seen soldiers coming back from Vietnam, seeing what they were exposed to, seeing what they kind of were invested in and their injuries there, there PTSD now, now we know what it is. How did that articulate into what you've become and what you've done in your own life? Rick 2: (07:11) Yeah. You know, I think, I think in my life, my family had been through a lot of emotional trauma. And so I was really attuned to that. And of course, early like you were saying is that the post-traumatic stress that I don't even know if that word existed at that time, but you could see when you would deal with the soldiers coming back, there was something, there was something missing in their life. And, uh, and, and there wasn't, there weren't groups to, uh, help, uh, individuals develop a strategy. Now how, how do we go from in a jungle in a, in a territory that is nothing like where I grew up and under conditions that there's no, no, there's no practice to prepare you for that. I don't care what you do. And so you're, and these guys are 19, 20, 21 years old. Rick 2: (08:04) I mean these, you know, my son's 21 years old, I don't, he doesn't know where to catch up goes, you know, you don't know how to put that away. And so now we're telling these guys after they've seen people killed and they've been maned and psychologically they've had challenges and now go ahead. You're good luck. Have a good high five. And uh, and so yeah, you didn't take a psychiatrist to recognize that that was happening. And um, and so it is cool. And even now there, there are, uh, you know, certainly challenges, but it's cool to have an organization like what you guys are doing because post-traumatic stress exists all over the place. I mean, patients that I see that are in car accidents that lose limbs, they have post-traumatic stress. And of course, policemen, I lived, one of the things I did is I lived with a policeman for three or four. He was actually Tecta homicide detective. And so, uh, and I would watch him come home after the stress of, uh, of the day of life of a homicide detective and see, hey man, this is taxi. Clint 3: (09:11) No, and you're absolutely right. And, and to identify that its not just first responders, it's not just military veterans, it's anyone who goes through any type of traumatic incident within their lives has some form of PTSD and, and it's crazy to see that the response that our society has towards that nowadays one people over utilize it to the effect of trying to capitalize on it for disability or whatever else it may be. But there are also, it's do people who really need or under utilizing it because they don't want to label put on them. Rick 2: (09:53) Yeah. Clint 3: (09:53) Have you noticed that with say some of your clients that you've worked with with prosthetics? Rick 2: (09:59) Yeah, absolutely. You know, I worked on military base for a couple years after I got out and I, yeah, no, I see. That's the cool thing where as you start to see common pieces of the puzzle in different facets of life. And so we have what's happening with police officers. But if you're not careful, you think, oh, we'll work, we're unique, we're a separate segment of society and you feel isolated. But then we'll send you feel like, well hey, we have some the same symptoms of people who went to battle and then you realize that people who are in substantial trauma situations like in a, in a car or truck accident, well now they have some common things. And so I think one of the solutions, and it's not easy, I don't want to sound like as easy is that we team up, I think we team up. That's a cool thing that you're, the thing that I see what you guys are doing is you are creating a team, a network. When I listened to you about your fishing trip, I thought, man, you guys, you guys got going, you got something special there. And so, um, yeah. If we can start bringing in the different facets and say this, hey, let's use some of the resources that you guys have developed and some of the tactics that you guys now understand and help people who experienced trauma in other aspects of life. Ashlie 1: (11:10) I think it's great that you pointed that out and I love that you preface that by saying that we need to use caution. Um, I just read about another, another police officer. He lives in New York who committed suicide and his service is going to be tomorrow and it just really hit me because the media was very graphic and portraying the fact that his girlfriend was at home and they're talking about the witnesses that heard her shouting, no, no, no. Right before it happened. Hearing the gunshot and hearing her screaming, no, no, no. Again and there, they're just taking us through such a portrayal of what I believe to be very raw and even defaming and we can get into the whole, the whole is with media in general. But the point I'm trying to make here is, is there was one lieutenant who pointed out that it should be routine and consistent for not only police officers, but for anybody in a high stress profession. So it'd be it doctors are like name, name a high stress profession too, where there's some sort of annual therapy. That way it becomes not only required, but it starts to become more open and acceptable. And people don't feel like there's something wrong with you. People understand the fact that this isn't an aide. This is literally like a medical supplement that you need in addition to your profession. What are your thoughts on that? Rick 2: (12:31) Oh, yeah. I mean, some of the solutions are not, they're not easy, but they're common, you know, because one of the things I'm doing now is in my longevity studies as, as we try to figure out how can you have a wife of significance that doesn't end when you're in the military or when you played sports, they can continue on. And you know, some of the common factors that, uh, because apathy, what happens is a person, uh, like with both post-traumatic stress, all of a sudden they ask them questions. Does anybody love me? Do I have anybody to love? Do I now have a purpose? Is there something broken? You're my wife and who, who am I part of a team? We'll, we'll see old folks think that they think something's broken. I'm not as physically active as before. People were, people stereotype me and tell me I'm going to lose my memory. Rick 2: (13:23) I'm not going to remember things. And so some of that is a, there's a study that the words set in motion, physical action in your body. So when you start saying a person has post-traumatic stress, say a placement, if he starts saying, well, I'm crazy, there's something wrong with me. People are not know, don't know how to respond to me. And then what do they do? They back off. And then the isolate themselves. Another one of the factors that, uh, really set in motion, this thing of depression. And, uh, and that happens with the age of people, they all of a sudden feel like, oh man, I don't want to, uh, like my, my stepfather used to say he wouldn't come to a family gathering because, oh, I don't, you know, I don't walk that well and people have to take care of me and bring my food. Rick 2: (14:13) And he's the guy that needs this the most. The officer who has experienced a situation that's not a time to go into isolation. And that's where the team, you know, again, I love it when the team shows up, even, you know, you hate it. Uh, there was an officer killed in the line of duty here, Mississippi and the streets lined up with soldiers and officers and, and you know, for him, uh, the mission was over, but for his family, for his children to see, hey, daddy meant something, somebody for his wife to see. Daddy met some and he was part of something. I think that that nothing can erase the healing, but I think that helps. Ashlie 1: (14:56) Yeah. And it, it brings emotion up for me because when we hear about that, especially Clinton, we're just having this discussion yesterday being not the platform that we have created. We give every intent to pour out positive and influential training information, the words we speak, we have a very important intent when it comes to showcasing things and in recent time we've gained a significant amount of feedback thanking us for not showcasing a lot of the negativity that we do see on similar niche social sites, let's say. To hear that, to hear that from somebody, not let's say in our immediate circle and to hear the respect and just the identification that you had during something like that, like it means a great deal to us to hear that identification and, and taking a step back and maybe bringing the level up just a little bit, but in a lot of my neuroscience studies, Rick, what you had made mention of with the ability to take your thoughts and like plant the seed so to speak. Ashlie 1: (16:13) There are newer studies that have come out that are showcasing the fact that even having the mental exercises in our mind of like physical mobility is producing real physical, statistical, statistical growth in even on like muscle mass. So it's amazing what could happen when we start to identify the power of our intuition, of our, our cognitive abilities. But we need, we need a place for people to be able to showcase how to do it. This isn't something that were ever taught, and that's something I love about the company that you've created with the epilogue worthy life, is that you really want to show people that you don't have to follow this social standard that doesn't have to apply to you anymore. Rick 2: (16:58) Yeah. You know, the thing that I saw in the military in this was a big thing for me spiritually, is that I didn't come from a spiritual background. I mean like my one step father was Catholic and so I hit a little thing of Catholic and I didn't really know anything about God or church and I was in the military and there were two guys, there was two soldiers and they really stuck out to me. And these were guys, these are the guys you wanted to be with. If you were going into a tough situation, you wanted to be with them. And they somehow talked about their spiritual life. Like it was natural. Not that it was weird, they didn't pass out tracks, but they felt like they, they felt like they believed that God existed in, played a role in their life and that their job was to, to be an example. Rick 2: (17:39) And I was, I was fastened. I was intrigued by it. I mean, these are guys that didn't just talk about it but lived it. And I think that's the same thing with what we're trying to do with this longevity study is that there's a lot of groups out there. They're talking about, oh, here's the supplements to take, or here's the research that supports it. The cool thing is, is I've been fortunate to team up with guys that are older than I am. I remember I thought, wow, I'm the baddest ass 65 year old guy in the gym and I would kind of strut around like a peacock. It soon as one guy, uh, was, there's one guy was obviously a little bit older. I didn't think he was older than me, but a little bit older and he was what I was trying to be. Rick 2: (18:17) I mean, you could see every single muscle in his body. He wasn't the bulked up, he was just ripped. And he's a trainer, athletic trainer or a fitness trainer. And so one time I said, his name was Joe. I said, Joe. I said, man, how old are you? I was expecting him to say 58. Well, he's a year older than me. And I was like, Joe, you hurt my feelings. I mean, really, I mean, you know, I lost a couple, uh, Turkey strut and feathers that day. And so, uh, and so then a couple of weeks go by and I'm on the treadmill and there's this, uh, a fella that a tall guy looked like a look like a older doctor. J just a very distinguished, a little bit salt, pepper in his hair. We get talking. He was a specimen too. He's on the treadmill. And I go, so you come here to put a shame on a old man here. And he goes, oh man. I said, well, how old are you? Well, same thing. He was 67. And I thought, Oh, what the heck? You know, I'm not even the second, uh, you know, most fake guy. But the point was, is what I, and then since then I've picked up about three other guys there, fortunately just a little bit younger than me. Rick 2: (19:24) But what happens is they are examples of people living the way that they believe. And so it's not statistics, it's not research. I mean, what I want to do is this investigate why is the, um, um, the retired Navy guy, why is he so healthy? He's taking care of his momma too. And so, you know, why is she so healthy? Uh, and um, and then the same thing with the fitness guide. So we're sort of looking at what, isn't that what you want? You want to be the best example of what you proclaim in what you believe. That's, that's, that's all. And so that's what we're trying to do is say, I don't know what supplements you need. I don't know. I don't know if they even help. Here's why I know is that having a positive attitude, teaming up with people. Um, uh, you know, your, your, your Kryptonite, minimizing the Kryptonite. That's in your life. Certainly Diet and exercise has a big role in that relationship. Listen, my wife, uh, if I live longer, it's because of her support and her love. And as I listened to you two guys, I mean, I see that you've got a powerful, you know, um, Dynamo going there and uh, anyway, Clint 3: (20:37) So, so for your longevity study that you're doing, it sounds absolutely amazing and I love that because it's not science-based, it's not, it's not based off of experts in the area of what supplements you can take and all that. It's based off almost your vibrational pattern that you put out in the day to day along with a healthy lifestyle. Yeah. So in that, how was that in turning? How, how have you seen other people enacting that around you, other than those people that you are doing this study with? Rick 2: (21:17) Yeah, well, one of the, there's a young guy that I'm, I'm coaching in our program. I'm coaching and, uh, he's like 22 years old. And he was also a fitness coach at this same club that went to, and he has a video business where he does commercials for people. And so I said, his name is Derek. And I said, Garrick. Um, I brought him into our meetings and because I thought, well, maybe he gave the help, you know, market it or sell it. And I said, do me a favor though. I'll be honest, is this just some nuance that's speaking to us older guys or is it, does this have some interest to a guy that's 22 years old or how rolly he's probably older than that, but, um, in his twenties. And he said, no, no, no. He was, listen, he goes right now, he goes, a younger person's role model sometimes is another young person, a skateboarder, a guy that's invented some app. And he goes, that only takes you so far. He goes, so my question to myself is, uh, what does life have in store for me? 10, 20, 30 years from that? And he goes, you guys give us a positive picture of what that could be. And so that's kind of the question I asked my kids. I said, let me be honest, is this something that doesn't have anything to do? Everybody is wondering what's around the corner. Huh? Clint 3: (22:43) And, and it's really funny, like I, as you're, you're talking about this eye I can picture of you and your buddies talking about in your meeting, you're all, it comes to my mind. I don't know if you're aware of the movie, the space cowboys. That's it. That's literally what is pinging at me right now. And then I could just see you guys all sitting around saying, no, you've got to do it this way, not this way. And you guys kinda transforming it and then, but really developing this plan, your approach on how you want to do it and bring it out to the world and you're so right. And I think back on every day on the news, you hear this ladies lived to be 105 years old and she attributes tributes it to drink in a Coors light every day. You know, or she had tr day attributed to not sleeping in the same bed together ever. And it's things like that, but what they're really not covering is how lifestyle that, that way of their own vibrational patterns, their own way of living. And it starts up here and it absolutely starts up here and you said it perfectly is when you have that one seed planted, whether it's a good seed or a bad seed, Rick 2: (23:57) It's going to grow. Clint 3: (23:58) That's right. If you had that good seed planted, it's really developing from there. And that's what the key is to longevity. Rick 2: (24:08) Yeah. Well any type of recovery. And that's, you know, for me it's, well, here's what happened for me is that I'd had some injuries. Um, and I guess life was, was I was trying to get some businesses going and I wasn't at home as much as I needed to. I was missing some ball games my kids were playing in and it wasn't, wasn't really in a good place. What wasn't, wasn't a happy place. And, uh, but I didn't know that. I didn't know any other way. And that's the problem is real examples of how to do it right. They're not, they're not out there. And, uh, and so one day I'm coming out of church and a lady comes up to me, she's looking at me and I'm thinking, oh Geez, what somebody hitting on me at church? She says, you, you will make a great person for a photo shoot. Rick 2: (24:54) I'm doing. I'm like, what? She goes, we're doing a calendar and we are going to have cheerleaders in every month and we're going to feature cheerleader, local high school cheerleaders and we need somebody for December. We need somebody to play Santa Claus with a cheerleader on her lap. I'm like, do I, do I get to keep my clothes on in this year? Or like some kind of Bordeaux? And she goes, no, no, no, no. You'll just be there with the, you know, sort of contemporary sack glass. And I'm like, yeah, well, no idea. My picture of Santa Claus, there's a bowl, you know, stomach, like a bowl full of jelly. And I thought, I still see myself as, you know, as rocky. I still see myself as some, some hero and she saying, no, no, you would really make a good Santa Clause. And it was that day, you know, it was called the day. Rick 2: (25:38) I said, I don't want that. I don't want that scenario. I don't want that to be my story that I'm going to be a Santa Claus. Uh, I still, I don't want all my, my, my hero stories to be when I was 20 years old in the military or when I was playing college football or whatever. I want some in the future. But here's what I realized is in order to do that, then okay, I'm going to have to monitor what I eat. I first am going to have to be healthy and then, uh, I need to tie up, man, you know what? I need to up my game with the people I know. That's why it's exciting to know you guys. You guys just elevated my friend level, you know. But there was some, listen, there was some people I had a kick out of my life and I think that's on any team. Rick 2: (26:21) I don't know if that's with the police force, but there's some folks that are negative and bring you down and make you weaker. And it was really during that time I, there was some folks, like I said, you know what, I'm not going to hang out with them anymore. So my wife and she said, good cause all we do is complain about stuff whenever we're around them. And I want to be around people that are exciting. I want to be around with young people, with the young mindset. And, and so I think in any recovery or improving your longevity, you need people to love. You need things to do. You need people to team up with. Uh, you need things that you want to learn. You need places that you're going to go to. You know, as I was listened to Ashley talk about, you're not fishing but wanting to fish and yeah. And, and I think you had indicated there was some fears in the process, but you, but the fears, you know why parachute, not because I'm, I'm brave and heights is cause it's scary. That makes life fun. [inaudible]. Ashlie 1: (27:23) Yeah. I would love to just point something out to you and that's what you would discuss too to some people, the listeners, as you're listening to this, you, you might have found humor in Rick story as it pertains to being offered the very prestigious role of Santa Claus and him shutting it down. But the way that I see that Rick is you, you really broke the mold by telling her, no, I don't see myself the same way that you see me, and I think so many people don't have that type of courage because a lot of us think that we're being discourteous by disagreeing with somebody in that same instance, and I want to applaud you for really showcasing your own truth because I don't believe that a lot of people find it acceptable to do that. And Clinton, I always try to stress getting outside of that social norm and that conformity that we've really had imposed on us from a very, very young age. And I think that's a perfect example of showcasing that you're owning your own reality and you're not allowing anybody, be it a sweet little lady at Church or, or anybody else dictate who you're supposed to be. Rick 2: (28:28) Yeah, yeah. No, you know, you articulated perfectly. And I think that's the problem is that when the media, right now, that's who's defining a lot of things where I'm at, Mississippi is known to be a hotbed of racial tension. Yet the people that are on my team, it's predominantly black individuals. And then I asked them, I said, listen, maybe we can use this for something else other than longevity. Maybe we can show. And, and I think that there were, was a sense of the reality that the false reality, the false narrative that the media portrays are there other areas of hotbed were racial tensions. Yeah. But it's not, it's not predominant. It's the police that listen to police matter look like a bunch of crazy people out. Just shoot in the first person, walk around. And I know, I know police officers that that's not their intent. Rick 2: (29:26) Nobody's there with the camera when they're, uh, they're helping somebody or protecting somebody or when they're involved, engage in social activities in the community. Where's the camera then? And yet, but that doesn't make news. They want to, you know, they want a dirty Harry scenarios what they want. And so I think that that's why I told these guys that I'm working with, I said, I want you guys to be famous because you are worthy to be an example for the younger folks. I think Clint guys like you, you are worthy to be the example of what a policeman is. And it's not. Rick 2: (30:02) Well, we, can go to why bad things happen. But you know, in my mind, when I was, when I was a soldier, we practice every day shooting. We practice entering a room, how to go in with a team. And a lot of times what happens is that in some professions is that, uh, you're not engaged. We always felt like we're going to go to war. We were ready. A police officer doesn't go to work that think this day. And I remember the story that I actually talked about with the, when you entered the house is that, gee, you didn't know that day that you're going to actually go to the crossroads of life and death. And so for, I think the unfortunate things for what I, my experience with police officers, they are not in that tension mode of I better have my six gun drawn at any moment. And so, and then now we're going to criticize somebody who went from kissing their wife goodbye and then entered into a combat zone. The, I think it's unfair. I think it's the media. I blame the media because they're just trying to get, they don't care about you. They don't care about the victim. They care about a good story and shame. Shame on them. Clint 3: (31:11) Yeah, absolutely. I couldn't have said it better myself and, and I appreciate your kind words. I really do. Um, you know, and, and being a police officer and being your first responder in general, it's, it's not easy nowadays. Times have changed. We have to adapt, we have to overcome. But you know, one thing Ashley and I really wanna to do is, is, you know, present the humanity behind the badge, whether you're a firefighter, a police officer, or an ambulance driver. You know, firefighters always get the positive news stories, but it's kinda something that we as first responders, we all have the animosity towards each other than we had and we've talked about to you the listener before in reference to that. But for four, as a first responder, you know, when we go to work, we kiss our spouse, we kiss our kids, our dogs, whoever that may be to you. And we don't go out upon, you know what, I'm going to shoot somebody today. Yeah. That's the least of what we've ever thought about. It's really trying to understand what can I do not to have to shoot somebody? What can I do to come home safe to my family at the end of the day while I protect the city, the county, the state that I worked for. Ashlie 1: (32:33) Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah. You both of you, I appreciate you for sharing that. And Rick, I just want to dive into a little bit of the epilogue worthy life a little bit because I know how hard you're working and you've created this team of very likeminded individuals who understand that there's so much more that you're worthy of and creating and receiving and giving in in your world, especially as you age. So can you talk to the listener through a little bit about some of the services that you've created and what your offering is? Rick 2: (33:03) Well, well, we're very early. We're very early in the process. And so right now what we're doing is, um, you know, silver, our motto is we got stuff to do. That's the model we have stuff to do. It's not over. We're not, I'm not, we're not retiring. We're not going fishing. And so what we're doing right now is we're formulating the stories and identifying the message that, uh, each of these individuals have. And that's what we really want to do with, uh, um, w our plan is to do probably on, um, a podcast, uh, to do some seminars because, you know, uh, one of the guys is, um, you know, he's, he's, he's an expert on fitness and diet and, and things like that. And so we want to help people, um, understand how your diet affects how well you're able to get into that zone, to that best version of yourself. Rick 2: (33:55) And then how exercise, I mean, there's a lot of research that speaks to that. And then, um, uh, the one fellow, the ex-navy officers, also a pastor. And so how does spirituality, how does that attribute, how, how does that change as you get older and how does that affect your view, your picture of yourself and, um, and so in matter of fact, one of the guys that is on the team is a, uh, former professional baseball player. And he's a guy who reached the pinnacle, kind of the pinnacle of his career in dreams in his twenties and early thirties. And so what happens from there? The point is what happens is when, when you retire or when your success is something in your past. And so we're right now at the point of developing those stories. And, um, I think that's a big part of it is if you're familiar with the hero's journey and, um, uh, I took a course called storyline and the question they ask is, so what kind of character are you in your story? Rick 2: (34:55) Or are you the lead character in your story? There are some people whose narrative is that their secondary to their spouse or to their boss or they're still doing what their dad told him. Um, you know, and so some online you have to become the lead character in your story and then recognize in any exciting story, um, you know, it's not exciting story to say, you know, okay, what's your story? Why I want to buy a BMW? You know, that interest not that compelling, but hey, I want to go out there on the big water and catch me a big fish and there's going to be challenges in the process. I'm going to go out there and uh, you know, uh, who knows what that the weather. And so that's like, now we've got an exciting story. You know, the weather is a factor in then fighting the big fish is a factor and that's an exciting narrative, but you want to be the hero in your story. Rick 2: (35:48) Now the other thing what's cool about being a coach or even a police is that when you're the person who enters a another person's story and you're the guy, hey, let me be your guy. Let me, let me help you. You know, the person who calls nine one one, well, they're the star of their story, but they need, they need the guide to come in and protect them. Um, and, and we, we all need a coach. We all need a mentor. Um, so that's what I'm hoping is, hopefully we'll have a team of guys that will be good mentors, uh, that will have, you know, everybody, like the one guy says he eats Red Jello and that helps the cartilage in his knee. I don't know if that does, but he thinks it does. And so you know, well, what we're looking at is for the commonality. We're looking at all the guys exercise routinely. That's a common thing. All the guys watch what they eat. That's a common thing. All the guys have a um, positive family relationships. That's that, that when you start finding those types of commonalities, well now we have a, uh, we have some maybe steps that we can enter in. We have to think, are these contextual? Maybe they just worked in this context or are they universal? And so those are the types of things that we'll, we'll ask, do you guys eat Red Jello? Clint 3: (37:08) I Love Red Jello. So this is an incredible platform and foundation that you've created and I know that you're going to do amazing things. And I think the diversity and the networking aspect of this and how you're really being cognizant and, and taking your time to pull all of the things that make sense together before you just started, you know, word vomit out into the world. I think that just shows me a little bit more about your character, Rick. And what you mentioned was that it's so important to be the star of your story. And what you said was, let me be your guide. And that brings me back to the beginning when we first started this interview where you're talking about not having that mill role model in your life and using military service to help you to form that discipline and to become, become a man. So to sum it up, can you share with the listener a little bit about how this journey, how that first decision to join the military service and everything that happened thereafter led you to be what I believe such an incredible man that we're honored to be able to sit in front of right now. Rick 2: (38:28) Yeah. At any point in my life, if someone were to come up to me and say, uh, that, let me, let me train you, let me help you. I would have been, I would have received it, but there wasn't, there weren't people. Now, there were a lot of, you know, cocky folks who, who, um, but they're bad asses and then somehow wanted to teach you, wanted you, wanted you to be their boy. Uh, well I'm talking about somebody who was living an epic wife. If somebody were to come up to me, I, I would have jumped on board and I, I probably would've followed somebody bad if they, um, they came along. But fortunately, like I met these soldiers and all of a sudden I seen people who were succeeding by doing what was right and doing the hard thing and that they were able, the other thing was being able to clearly articulate what they believe and, um, and doing it in a way that, you know, the, that nobody, nobody snickered at these guys. Rick 2: (39:31) And so when I got out of the military and, um, and start thinking what I was going to do, um, uh, well, I was injured in the military. What happens? I was injured and, um, where I was, when I was in the hospital, there was a guy that had lost his leg and he was in a wheelchair. And I wanted to be able to say, do you know, cause he sat by himself, his obviously he was depressed. I wanted to say, come hang out with us. And I thought, well, what's he going to say if I say, dude, how you doing? I thought I was going to say Masa. What do you think? Because, so I didn't know how, I couldn't see how the interaction, so I just avoided in one day, uh, they brought in a prosthesis in fit him and he stood up and start a walk and I go that that is a coolest damn thing I've ever seen. Rick 2: (40:19) That's what I'm going to do. I just knew I was gonna do that. So again, these examples and, and the guys that work with them seem to know they were compassionate and they, um, they had skill and that's what I wanted. I felt like I was a guy that didn't have a lot of skill. Uh, didn't have a lot of confidence just because of my, my upbringing. And even when I went into the military, uh, there are a lot of, I was doing a lot of cool things, but I was still the same guy. I, I wanted to, I didn't want to stay the same, just say, I don't know if you've got time for a quick story, but you know, I always wanted to change in the, I was at the hospital one time and a guy was in the hospital and he had a short sleeve shirt on and he had a big airborne tattoo. Rick 2: (41:00) So parachute with wings on it. And I thought, I love the give military guys a chance to cry. And so I went up to him and I said, dude man, well tell me about that tattoo he was with. I'm one of those guys that jumped out of perfectly good airplanes in the military. I go, really? I said, well what unit were you in? And then he looks at me a little bit and he goes, I'm never, I've never made it to a unit. I go, what? It was. Yeah. Yeah. Cause I got ahead of that thing. I think, God, I didn't know that was an option. Got Out. W what do you mean? Here's, well, you know, all those lifers take it so serious and uh, I, I'm not one of them dumb guys, you know, they have to be told what to do. So I just got out. Rick 2: (41:42) Well now, I mean, I don't know what to say cause I'm going up here to compliment him and it's, it's kind of taken a turn. I don't even know what he's talking about. And so fun. I just, in order to kind of conclude the conversation, I said, well, you know, did it, did it, did your experience, um, help you any way change you in any way for the good, you know, and he goes, no, he goes, I came out the same way I went in and, you know, I was like, okay, I guess we're done now. You know, and I thought they want to say a thing cause I didn't come out the same way I went in. I came out with a different view of what teamwork meant, what friendship meant, what dedication it would hard work, man. And, uh, and, and that's, that's what his, his, his, even now I don't, I don't want to come into my thirties and come, come onto my forties the same way that I entered in, you know, and, and even with friendships, man, I don't want to meet you guys and leave without something happening, some connection happening here, because, you know, as time goes on, I don't have a lot of time for stuff that doesn't work. Rick 2: (42:45) And so, um, so really that's the, the thing is I think is as I go on, I still want to learn. I still want to grow, even though there's some things that I can't do it, guess what? There's some things I can do. I ran a marathon with my daughter, a half marathon with my daughter, uh, and I was 64. Uh, I entered my first fitness contest and won it. I was 60. Um, I started two businesses, 63. Um, and so I think one, it's my nature to do that kind of stuff. Um, the other, um, it's exciting. It's adventurous. I'm a late bloomer, I guess. Ashlie 1: (43:25) Um, there's never been a more appropriate time to say better late than never. Ashlie 1: (43:32) And Rick, as we wind things down here, I just want to point out that I do believe you owe me a story as it relates to a cadaver putting you in a headlock. Rick 2: (43:43) You know, I listened to that story about a client he got tackled by a Zombie. You know, I thought, yeah, I can relate. Um, when I was a, when I was, one of the courses I needed to take before I go to the University of Washington is I had to have a could diver anatomy class and um, at East Cara, so I was at East Carolina University and they had a brand new medical program and on the seventh floor of the hospital was the cadaver land. And so what would happen is as students, we would get a key, and this was an intense course. It was in the summertime. So it was faster than normal. And what we'd have to do is during the tests is we have to identify the smallest bone or the smallest nerves. And we were studying the brachial plexus. And again, I was not a good student. Rick 2: (44:31) I'm panicking. It's like 11 o'clock at night. I can't study, I have to pass this test. I was accepted universe, Washington contingent of passing this test. And so I think I got study, we're studying the brachial plexus, a series of small nerves in the eye, exhilaration in the armpit. And so I go up to this seventh floor. And so as you go, the floor of the hospital, you go in, there's a lot of activity even at night, but as you start going up the floors, you have administration on the top floor, there's nobody. And then you go into the cadaver lab and it's freezing cold. It smells like Formaldehyde and you have 20, um, looks like stainless steel coffins that the bodies are down inside and you wheel him up, you know, to, to eye level. And so I have all these podiums around and the brachial plexus are these nerves bet the size of a string and they'd go in and out of muscles and they, they come from your sir, um, from your neck, from the, uh, Vertebra and come down to different muscles. Rick 2: (45:28) And activate these muscles and they purest muscles. And so I gotta be able to identify them. And so these body, so I will my guy up and we called him half and half because half his body had the skin on the other half. He'd been carved out by the pre-med students where they would separate his pictorial muscle from his major, from his Pec minor. And so I'm in here. So if you can imagine I got my guy up like you, like a touched, like the referee would signify a touchdown. So he's up uh, his armpit, his eye level and I'm trying to find these nerves in his pictorial. I had to pull his pectoral muscle back and trying to find this nerve. And when I let go it, it comes back slaps over top of where I'm trying to find it. And now I've lost what I was looking for it. Rick 2: (46:12) And so I do this three or four times and I got my face right in there with a magnifying glass cause I got to find it cause I'm like facing. And finally I get irritated and I grab that pictorial muscle where the pictorial muscle inserts on your humerus. And so his arms are like this. I grabbed his pictorial, his arm goes over top of my head and of course Rigor Mortis has set in and I'm sitting on a chair, I can't get away [inaudible] closer to his exhilarate and I listen, I know this guy's dead. You know what his problem is? I've watched too many Zombie movies and I'm like, I know he's dead, but somebody might have just jumped. I don't know, maybe somebody just jumped in here and I try to calm myself. I, you know, put the, the sheet over top of them, crank them back down, and then I get out of there and I see a security guard and I go, Hey sir, how you doing? How you been? You work here long, you've been in here, you know what time is? I had have somebody talk to you. I tell everybody I got a headlock by a cadaver. That's a memory that I'm sure you've carried with [inaudible]. Well, that's it. Yeah. We have another thing for us to share. Absolutely. We battled the zombies together. Ashlie 1: (47:29) Oh, Rick, it's been such a pleasure to sharing this space with you and hearing more of your story and just building on our friendship together and you know, as, as you listen, I, I'm sure there's some nuggets or some pieces of wisdom or relate-ability that you share with Rick and his story and Rick and I'm just wondering how as a listener, if they want to reach out to you, what's the best way, Ashlie 1: (47:54) How could they contact you and I'll give you my information?

55-year old Jose Ferrer returns in 10 days from a broken neck vertebra to record 2 wins on Haskell day. Plus, it's been 100 yrs since Man O'War's only career loss, to Upset

In this episode we look at a unique movement that the spine can do: Articulation from Vertebra to Vertebra. I most often see this used in a "roll up" transition, BUT spine articulation can be used in all 3 planes of movement, at all 3 segments of the spine. That articulation can be performed in an ISOLATED fashion focusing on just one area, or in a globally INTEGRATED movement with the rest of the spine or other joints in the body. We will talk about why both of these movement techniques has innate value and helps us to learn about our body. **sorry about the background noise in this episode: windy outside & Redford needing my attention** #tinyhouseproblems If you would like to see The Yoga White Board you can watch the video format of this podcast on my YouTube Channel: I also post a picture of The Yoga White Board on my Instagram each week: Note: All strange background noises are attributed to my dog Redford wanting to be involved.

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

A few weeks ago, while my oldest son was having a check-up with the pediatrician, I collected several pamphlets from the clinic's reading area. I thought perhaps I could learn something while I waited. One of the pamphlets was about back health, something that I don't really think about very often. A couple of years ago, however, I had no choice but to think about it, because I suddenly developed back pain. It was nothing serious. I had been carrying my baby on my left hip for a year, and, I think, my back finally had had enough of the imbalance. So, it sent me a message, in the form of pain. Gosh, it was awful. I didn't know what to do. I tried stretching carefully, lying on the massaging chair that we have, and I finally took a pain killer. My husband advised me to go to the chiropractor to check out my spine, and get it adjusted if necessary. The next day, I found myself in line at the chiropractic clinic, waiting for my turn, and reading the posters on the wall that talked about back health. The chiropractic philosophy is that each vertebra affects a set of nerves that influence other parts of the body, including organs and glands. So everything is interrelated. If the spine is okay, the rest of the body can take care of itself. "Makes sense to me," I thought as I read about the parts of the spine: the spinal column, the spinal cord, vertebrae, sciatica, the discks, and the upper, middle, and lower back. As I looked at the people in line, I wondered which part of their backs were hurting, and why. I had met people who had been in car accidents and who had suffered whiplash. That was common. Some people had worse conditions which needed on-going treatment. My back pain was acute, meaning sharp but not long lasting. Others had a chronic condition which goes on for a long time. Well, my turn came. After having an x-ray, the chiropractor told me that I just had a couple of vertebrae out of place. He was pleasant and relaxed, and chatted away as I lay down on the adjustment bed. I remember that I was in the middle of answering one of his questions, when WHAMO! He pushed and twisted my lower back in one second. I heard a 'click' in my back and felt some pressure, and it was over. After checking my mobility, I was on my way home. The pain was gone, and my spine felt loose again. What a relief! I'll take an acute back problem over a chronic one any day/ Grammar notes. Related vocabulary and expressions: to have no choice but to...., to have enough of..., spinal cord, whiplash. 1. I have no choice but to sell my house; it is far too expensive to keep. 2. We had had enough of the cold weather, so we flew to the Caribbean. 3. The spinal column protects the spinal cord from which nerves go out into the body. 4. When the other car hit me from behind, my head was thrown back, and I got whiplash.   // //

Chris Matthieu and Steven Bristol interviewed Ezra Zygmuntowicz, the co-founder of Engine Yard! This 1 hour and 20 minute interview goes deep inside Ezra's mind. We covered his early programming days where he almost selected Python instead of Ruby but then came to his senses. We also discussed the early days of Engine Yard as well as the present infrastructure and the totally awesome new projects including: MERB, Rubinius, and Vertebra. Ezra is a really cool thought-leader in the Ruby/Rails community. Engine Yard is an incredibly innovative, business-class Rails hosting service with the ability to scale. My apologies in advance for some of the VoIP R2D2 experienced during this recording. The content is well worth it!

I was lucky enough to attend this year's RailsConf 2008 and met many new friends and listened to many cool new ideas and discussions. Here is a link to the Vertebra solution presented by EngineYard's Ezra - http://brainspl.at/articles/2008/06/02/introducing-vertebra
