Post Mortem | The Hit-and-Run Homicide of Davis McClendon
The old bud was sweet and caring. I remember when my grandfather passed away, I remember that day, and he just held me, told me he loved me. I would go to babysit, and he would take my car and fill it up with gas for me before I'd come back. He always told me I was like his fourth child. And then towards the end, I mean, he turned into a completely different person that I didn't even recognize.

And I was honestly kind of scared to be around. It wasn't like necessarily I thought he would hurt me. I just got a really bad feeling whenever it was just us.

I really think she is so sick that she thought she could do this and then just walk into the sunset with her three kids. I think that's how she thought this was going to play out.

And what was she thinking? Did she not understand the impact this was going to have on her children's lives? I mean, she extinguished four lives that day. She murders her ex-husband and basically destroys the childhood of her three children. I just, I don't understand what she was thinking.

Armchair Anonymous: Meet Cute II
But like you asked about sometimes your perfect match isn't a one-to-one match. He's a Scorpio. I'm a Sagittarius. So there is a lot of things in common, but plenty of difference. And I think that's what
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Meet Cute II
really clicked in for us was that it was all about balance we pushed each other but also challenged and supported so even our careers complemented each other i'm a graphic designer so i work remote so i can go wherever it's like we're moving to wichita i'm like great they have computers and wi-fi there right no big deal okay i'm gonna ask a challenging question now so you've been with i don't know what number boyfriend he was but certainly from your senior year till now adulthood you've been with the same person is there any tension with that
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Meet Cute II
No, and he was really my first real boyfriend because I didn't date anybody after that match. I was just so terrified of dating and seeing my friend's heart get broken. My mom was a single mom. And I was like, this is a lot. And I think I just needed to be ready to open up. I think once I started dating Sean, and he was so... kind, so patient, so sweet. I didn't really need to look anywhere else.

The year is 2009. It was October 29th. I remember this because me and a few friends were going to the Jay-Z concert. You lucky fucks. Yeah. He came to London, Ontario.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard

I think artists come here because it's in between Detroit and Toronto. So it's like another venue stop.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Meet Cute II
It's like an OHL arena, which is a level below the NHL hockey arena. But we've had like Billy Joel, Sting, Cher.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Meet Cute II
We're really lucky. Hove came. And of course, we weren't going to pass that up. But a caveat in the story was the Yankees were playing the World Series. So it's game two of the World Series. And of course, they're going to ask him to perform. He was flying in late. There was four openers. So it was probably OK that he was late. But as a result, everyone at the venue was getting absolutely trash.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Meet Cute II
So he was flying in privately after New York to London, not a long flight, but we got there when doors opened at the venue. So we got pretty inebriated to say the least. I was 20 years old. It was fun.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Meet Cute II
He probably didn't go on stage until even like 1030 that night. It was rowdy. It was fun. It was a good show. So after that, we wanted to keep the party going. So we went to a local bar, walked to one. It wasn't too far away. We were having fun at the bar in a booth. I got up to either see a friend or go dance and I left all my stuff in the booth.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Meet Cute II
I was with friends, so I wasn't too worried about it. But when I went back, they were all gone.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Meet Cute II
They took my stuff. They're good friends. But as a result, I was like, I can't go meet them at another bar. I don't have money for a cab. I don't have my phone. They just left you? Yeah, I don't know. We were all kind of out of it.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Meet Cute II
I wasn't mad at them. Happy-go-lucky, having a great night. So I just figured the night's about to wind down anyways. I'll just walk back to their student house a few kilometers down the road. There's a big strip of bars in London. So I felt very safe and not worried. concerned at all. Like most people were out partying that night were students, young people.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Meet Cute II
Halfway through my walk, this guy starts walking with me. He was holding a longboard. Oh, he wasn't at the bars, but he was a bit younger. So I wasn't again, concerned. And he did say you shouldn't be walking alone. Yeah. And I, again, happy go lucky me talk to everyone. Wasn't very concerned about it. And I said, well, if you want, you can walk with me.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Meet Cute II
So we started making small talk and he just said, I just knocked someone out down the road.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Meet Cute II
I got tripped on my longboard and we got in a fight. I was not too surprised. He was wearing a tap out shirt. So I said, that seems on brand. He mentioned he was a trained fighter. He got a lot out in that first couple minutes.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Meet Cute II
A few more minutes down the road, three cruisers pull over and they grab him and they grab me.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Meet Cute II
And he starts yelling like, let her go, let her go. I don't know her. I was just walking with her.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Meet Cute II
Right. And we were on like the main street, too. You think he would have cut down a neighborhood street. So ultimately they take him away, but they wanted a statement from me. And I was all jazzed up to talk to the cops and thought it was hilarious. So I gave them one. And they also drove me home and flattered me by putting on the lights.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Meet Cute II
Time passes now after that happens. I kind of didn't really think much of it. Now we're in spring 2011. Two years later. Yes. I got a letter in the mail, me being subpoenaed to court. So we're going to call the guy I was walking with longboard Andrew. Basically, Andrew's attorney wanted to use me as a witness because he's being charged with assault.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Meet Cute II
So I show up at court and I was waiting and waiting. So I sat down beside a different person and I just, again, as I do, I was chatting with him. The guy was kind of annoyed. He was just saying like, I have to take off work to be here. We chatted for about 20 minutes and Andrew's attorney came to grab me and they read me my statement.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Meet Cute II
Ultimately, after they read it back to me, they decided I wasn't going to be a reliable witness and they let me go home. On my way out, though, I did see that guy was sitting beside and I told him, good luck for whatever reason you're here. And I was on my way.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Meet Cute II
Yeah, he was involved in one of the trials. But the thing is, where the courtroom is, there's 10 different courtrooms. We didn't get too into it. He was a bit more of a shy guy. But now we're in September 2011, just a bit later that year. I start working at a new bar downtown. And I started doing guest list and cover charge. So I would stand kind of outside the bar.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Meet Cute II
And it was quite a popular student bar, young person bar. It had quite a line on busy nights. And if any of my friends knew me or anyone recognized me, they'd try to cut the line as you do. I hear one night, hey, Julie, remember me? It's Curtis from court.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Meet Cute II
Yeah. I walked over and then I ultimately did remember him too. And he was with a bunch of friends. So obviously asking to cut the line and I let them in. Later, he had a bit of liquid courage in him and he asked if he could buy me a drink after my shift. Ah. I was intrigued and single, so I accepted.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Meet Cute II
The sim part of the story is that I was now having a drink with the guy who got knocked out by Andrew. No!
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Meet Cute II
Oh my god. And the knockout happened in front of the bar I was working at. Oh my god. So another one of the witnesses ended up being a bouncer that worked at that bar too, which is kind of funny. Wow. This is wild. The reason it went to court was this Andrew guy, it wasn't his first assault, but he also hit Curtis so hard that he had brain trauma and was in the ICU for like a week.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Meet Cute II
When this guy was saying he was a trained fighter, it all kind of makes sense. So a few weeks after that, Kurt and I started dating. Now we're married. We have two kids.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Meet Cute II
Obviously, he doesn't remember anything after being knocked out, but he probably did trip the guy. In London, Ontario, after the bars get out, it is like mayhem. There are so many people out on the sidewalk. So for anyone to even be skateboarding down a sidewalk is going to run into someone.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Meet Cute II
Ultimately, it's kind of funny because me and Kurt are very different. I'm super outgoing. He's a bit more reserved and he's always harping on me for talking to strangers. But I never would have met him if I didn't strike up conversation with him in court and I didn't walk with a stranger who had assaulted him.

We went to the same high school. Shout out Colerain High School. The year was 2008. I was a shy little baby sophomore. And Sean was a senior at the time. The junior class was having a fundraiser for Valentine's Day. And they had the whole school take a compatibility test.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard

I know. Do you guys remember Scantron? Yes. Like those little tickets. So that's what we all use to like fill out our compatibility test.

Very organized thing. And I was type A. So I was like, great. Just tell me who my boyfriends are. Let's just get this whole thing over with.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Meet Cute II
On Valentine's Day, you handed over five bucks and then you got your little report of your top 10 matches in the school. The cool part was, is you could see where you fell on your matches list because it wasn't always your number one match. You were their number one match because they could have had someone more compatible.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Meet Cute II
I have tried to look it up because I've had people like, what is the authenticity here? And I'm like, I didn't ask any questions.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Meet Cute II
I open up my little report and I see my top 10 matches and I'm like, oh my God, I matched with a senior. That's a man. What am I going to do? I went from like no boyfriend, never been kissed. Now I'm matching with a senior man. So I turn around to my friend in class and I'm like, do you know who this Sean guy is? And she's like, wait, you matched with him. That is the hottest guy in marching band.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Meet Cute II
Still great. Our school was big, so I had never heard of him.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Meet Cute II
So the marching band gets wind of this, and we have interconnecting friend circles. So they all coordinated our little meet-cute in the band room at the end of the day. I was a nervous wreck the whole day, and they had to drag me down the stairs, push me on my heels. The band separates in the band room, and there he is, the hottest guy in marching band. Oh!
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Meet Cute II
I was like so shy and intimidated by the whole thing. I was like, great. Hi, we did a hug. And he had that deep voice. So I was like terrified. And he's pretty shy too. It took us a minute to actually reconnect. I ended up texting him when I was a senior and he was a sophomore.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard

You let it go to see if it would return. Oh, well. It was almost like too much. It was very intense, very overwhelming. I wasn't ready to get married.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Armchair Anonymous: Meet Cute II
Yeah, this is too much. Before my senior year, I went to leadership camp and I got all this confidence. And I was like, I'm going to text the hottie from Marching Ant to see if he remembers me. And he was in college now, so I was ready for a college boyfriend. So I sent him a text and the rest is history. You started dating immediately? Pretty much immediately.

Yeah, I kind of followed him there because... Oh, why? She basically was, like, venting one day, and she was like, my ex-boyfriend won't give me back my guitar. Oh, my God. One thing leads to the next. And, yeah, so we kind of set up to, you know, run into Michael at the grocery store.

Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

We met at an art gallery, actually.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update: Taco Truckstop Mystery
Yeah, yeah, exactly. Yes, actually it was.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update: Taco Truckstop Mystery
So I was just checking out this piece of art and this cute guy just kind of started talking to me about it. And we just kept chatting and walking and we were both very spontaneous. So we just went out for a very late lunch. Okay.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update: Taco Truckstop Mystery
He's like, oh, I know this spot with all these food trucks. Let's go there. So we did.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update: Taco Truckstop Mystery
Yeah, you'd think that.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update: Taco Truckstop Mystery
So we get tacos, and we're comparing toppings. We're trying each other's stuff. It's really fun and cute. And I like him. I especially like him because he's asking me very thoughtful questions. Can you give us an example?
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update: Taco Truckstop Mystery
He asked me, what is the weirdest compliment I've ever received?
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update: Taco Truckstop Mystery
I was like, I can't think of anything. He said, well, I have one. He said someone told him that he has eyes that would make a cat jealous. I kind of laughed because I didn't really know what to make of that.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update: Taco Truckstop Mystery
So we laughed that one off and then he goes, all right, well. What is something that you wouldn't normally tell people on a first date?
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update: Taco Truckstop Mystery
So I tell him that I've had some family members might have been in some reenactments of, like, true crime. Their story might have been in some reenactments of true crime. Let's say that.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update: Taco Truckstop Mystery
You said it, not me.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update: Taco Truckstop Mystery
You know, he was trying to pry some details out of me. I don't give it to him. And I go, what about you? And he says, oh, well, I recently got out of a speeding ticket. By looking like a Jonas brother, which I guess was kind of his like bad boy trying to relate to crime. I was like, oh, OK.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update: Taco Truckstop Mystery
Yeah, I thought it was at least interesting.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update: Taco Truckstop Mystery
So the final part of our date, we decide to go into a nearby bookstore and we're just kind of perusing the aisles and then... All of a sudden, it's like one of those things, you know, like the door has like a bell attached to it.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update: Taco Truckstop Mystery
I hear the bell ding and I just instinctively look up and there's Mark and he's just sprinting. He's sprinting away.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update: Taco Truckstop Mystery
Oh my gosh. Yes. And he didn't say anything to me.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update: Taco Truckstop Mystery
I didn't even think of that. But he has my number. And he didn't even... Like, text me to apologize.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update: Taco Truckstop Mystery
Yeah, especially for an impromptu date, yeah.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update: Taco Truckstop Mystery
Yeah, this was like a really big deal to me because this is the first connection I've had since I moved here about a month ago.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update: Taco Truckstop Mystery
Just want to say I think you're overreacting a little bit. I think this is kind of a bit much, given what I mentioned.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update: Taco Truckstop Mystery
Well, I can't tell a lot. I can't really share that. And frankly, Mark shouldn't have told that on the line.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update: Taco Truckstop Mystery
Well, and that's why I thought that was a conversation just between you and me. That's why I didn't say the word cartel. That's why I just said, oh, my family has a criminal background.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update: Taco Truckstop Mystery
If you think about it, this really is your fault because you were the one who asked me the question, what would I not tell anyone on a first date? So really, it's kind of your fault.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update: Taco Truckstop Mystery
Now that you've heard everything, like, just know if we do want to go on another date, like, yeah, we can't really, like, text the name of locations, but we can, like, do a code. Are you serious? She's joking. If this is true, why are you so casual about it?
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update: Taco Truckstop Mystery
He already outed them. He was the one who said it. I didn't.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update: Taco Truckstop Mystery
I would be a little bit flattered.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update: Taco Truckstop Mystery
Oh, he doesn't remember. Yeah, okay. I'm not calling him back because he ate my goldfish. My pet.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update
Second Date Update: Taco Truckstop Mystery
Will he even be able to find them? I doubt it.
Brooke and Jeffrey: Second Date Update

You don't have to pay for me. I'm financially taken care of already.

Well, mostly there are multiple properties involved as well as a business that my father-in-law owns. And we have no idea because we're not in that specific field what we would need to do in the event of, you know, potentially selling that or his passing. So, yeah, that's our major concern.

So my husband has brought them up. He is the oldest and we have a young family. So he's kind of more thinking about the future for those reasons. And they've also made it very clear that they do not want me involved in the conversations. Why? So that throws another added bonus.

If You Want to Build Wealth, Stop Acting Like Everyone Else
Yeah, essentially. Yeah, it's a 50-50. You know, it's just my husband and his brother, and he said, you know, you're taken care of.
The Viall Files
E893 Ask Nick - How Do I Connect With My Son?
Yeah, that's essentially what I'm thinking too. If it's going to happen, we can at least plan for it and have some sort of idea of what to do.
The Viall Files
E893 Ask Nick - How Do I Connect With My Son?
Good. Hi, I'm Megan. I'm 34 and I'm afraid a conspiracy theorist is going to ruin my sister's wedding.
The Viall Files
E893 Ask Nick - How Do I Connect With My Son?
Yeah. That sounds good. That's what we'll do.
The Viall Files
E893 Ask Nick - How Do I Connect With My Son?
So the conspiracy theorist is my husband's grandfather. So this is my husband's sister. She's getting married to her partner of 10 plus years later this month.
The Viall Files
E893 Ask Nick - How Do I Connect With My Son?
Yes, it's the bride's grandfather, yes.
The Viall Files
E893 Ask Nick - How Do I Connect With My Son?
She wanted our advice on whether to uninvite him because they've already RSVP'd, yes.
The Viall Files
E893 Ask Nick - How Do I Connect With My Son?
So a little bit of background, like throughout COVID in the last like several years, he's really just gone like deep into the rabbit hole of like dark political conspiracy theories. And we're not talking like tinfoil hats or like the pandas aren't real, but like he spends all day, all night, like online with this extremist misinformation cult, I guess you could say.
The Viall Files
E893 Ask Nick - How Do I Connect With My Son?
And so like for the first few years, he wasn't like so far gone that you couldn't have a regular conversation with, And we only really see them like once or twice a year around the holidays. So we would just kind of deal with it and try to redirect the conversations.
The Viall Files
E893 Ask Nick - How Do I Connect With My Son?
Over time, my in-laws would tell us stories about them getting into like screaming matches with them for like hours when nobody else was there. We kind of like brushed it off. We thought it like was somewhat of an exaggeration, but yeah.
The Viall Files
E893 Ask Nick - How Do I Connect With My Son?
um christmas of 2023 we went over for dinner grandpa was back in the room um that he stays in all day all night um he didn't come out until dinner and something got said that triggered him to start yelling about how he's a reborn alien the aliens are in charge the whole um
The Viall Files
E893 Ask Nick - How Do I Connect With My Son?
you know, thing about, um, children being trafficked and exploited so that their adrenaline could be taken from them and pumped into celebrities faces to stay young. Um, so it's really like extreme, um, conspiracy theory, a lot of antisemitic conspiracies.
The Viall Files
E893 Ask Nick - How Do I Connect With My Son?
And so, you know, uh, really just don't want there to be like a scene at the wedding because it's kind of gotten to the point where he can't have like a regular conversation with him anymore. Yeah.
The Viall Files
E893 Ask Nick - How Do I Connect With My Son?
All of that. It's just so dark. It's sad because there's really no talking sense into anyone. Like they won't even hear it.
The Viall Files
E893 Ask Nick - How Do I Connect With My Son?
And I, you know, I think she's, she's torn because she doesn't want to look back and know that one of her living grandparents, like wasn't at her wedding, wasn't in,
The Viall Files
E893 Ask Nick - How Do I Connect With My Son?
photos but yeah there's a major conceit a concern about causing a scene embarrassing them and you know really like just the fact that their values and belief systems are like so 180 opposite that i just feel like it's a recipe for disaster and i think she should set some boundaries belief systems there's like hey we voted for this guy and you voted for that guy and let's just you know you know who gives a fuck today grandpa's giving like
The Viall Files
E893 Ask Nick - How Do I Connect With My Son?
Yeah, and I think that that's my concern is I don't think there's a way that a scene would not be created at this point, given how far gone he is.
The Viall Files
E893 Ask Nick - How Do I Connect With My Son?
No, he's just out on his own island. And it's really pretty sad because he's kind of alienated himself and their grandmother from everyone because he's done this with every different side of the family at this point. That's crazy. I mean, it is crazy. And it's also just so sad because my husband is... like one of the calmest, most stoic people you've ever met.
The Viall Files
E893 Ask Nick - How Do I Connect With My Son?
And last Christmas, when this blow up happened, like he even lost it. We left and we did not come back for the rest of the holiday gathering. And so.
The Viall Files
E893 Ask Nick - How Do I Connect With My Son?
So I think that's the sad part is, yeah, I think she still wants Grandma to come. And I think Grandma could come alone, but we just don't want to necessarily make her feel, you know, some type of way by... Is there... Chris Lee excluding.
The Viall Files
E893 Ask Nick - How Do I Connect With My Son?
He tried. Yeah. He tried. Um, and was told to fuck off.
The Viall Files
E893 Ask Nick - How Do I Connect With My Son?
So, I mean, that to me in itself is the answer that we need.
The Viall Files
E893 Ask Nick - How Do I Connect With My Son?
I don't, yeah, no, I don't know. I don't think so either. But I guess, too, like, you know, my husband doesn't want him to come. His dad does not want him to come, but you know, it's her choice. So like, if she, for whatever reason did decide to let him come and he does cause a scene, like, how do you think that should be handled? Well, who should be responsible for removing him? Probably his dad.
The Viall Files
E893 Ask Nick - How Do I Connect With My Son?
I personally don't know. I think she's just so empathetic and she's always trying to like give people so many chances. And again, just her other grandmother is ill and not able to come. Her other grandfather is not alive. So I think she's just trying to keep like what she can in terms of like that family unit there.
The Viall Files
E893 Ask Nick - How Do I Connect With My Son?
Probably like 150 people. Okay. It's big enough.
The Viall Files
E893 Ask Nick - How Do I Connect With My Son?
So her future wife's mom is the pastor and, marrying them. And I don't think a lot of her future wife's family is aware of grandpa and his behavior.
The Viall Files
E893 Ask Nick - How Do I Connect With My Son?
I think that probably it would end up being me that would, you know, sort of be one of these people because my husband is a bridesmaid for his sister. So he's, he'll be preoccupied. Everyone in the immediate family would be preoccupied.

851: Try a Little Tenderness
And I just remember she was screaming because I said, OK, May, you got to calm down so you can still get ready and get out the door. And she was just screaming that the only way she could calm down was if she punched her sister in the face.
This American Life
851: Try a Little Tenderness
And I said, well, that's not an option, so can you think of some other way to calm down? And then I had to get ready, so I just left, and she was still kind of making quite a bit of noise. And then when I came back, kind of miraculously, the tears had dried. She was smiling. Johanna was smiling.
