Hi, guys. How's everybody's week going?
Fantastic, thanks. Yeah, yeah. Anything new? Yeah, yo, let me tell you what's new here at W670, the fringe. So, yeah, yeah. Nothing new. Tomorrow's my anniversary.
Happy anniversary. Happy anniversary.
15 years. My word.
I can't believe she was able to survive you that long.
Are you kidding me? It's so long to suffer without dying. I'm telling you.
You got nothing for her.
And what about you guys? Anything new, fun, exciting?
My power's back on. That's new and exciting.
That is great.
Yeah. 110 degree heat into sea today.
Yeah.
I know you guys are pretty bad too. Yeah.
Yeah, one of my coworkers, he is of Swedish descent, and his first name is Lars. Mm-hmm. His AC broke yesterday.
Mm-hmm.
So, and he's got three dogs. Oh, I know. I feel horrible for him.
And he's thinking it might be nine to 10 grand to, to get a new one. I think he'll need a new one.
Gosh. Yeah. Yeah. Does he have a basement? Yeah, he does. Okay. At least he can hide there. Yeah.
Maybe. Yeah. So this morning he came in and said, yeah, you know, I slept in the basement. It was 77 degrees there, but I was, you know, it was, we had a dehumidifier going and, you know, it was, I was able to sleep.
I'm like, all right. I was like, the dehumidifier will take the wetness out, but it's just going to pump up more hot air, unfortunately.
Yeah.
Yeah, so... Well, I hope Lars finds something quick. Yeah. Or the weather breaks, one of the two.
Yeah, I just hope the weather breaks.
I was going to say, the weather would be similar to what your wedding was.
Yeah, it would be.
When you were stranded out there by yourself?
Yeah, 15 years later, the exact same goddamn weather. That's funny.
And I would laugh if you get stranded outside your house for like a good like 20 minutes.
No joke, by... By the time we were eating dinner, I had sweat through everything, including my jacket.
That's some serious moisture.
It was. Luckily, I was wearing a black on black on black.
No wonder you were melting, melting, melting.
Yeah, yeah. What, you think the white shirt would have made a difference?
No.
Well, we also stranded you outside for like a good 20 minutes.
I know. I know. I remember.
So, all right. You can blame my grandparents and your mom for that.
Yeah. Yeah. And they're all dead now.
So, you know, good. Oh, gee. So, all right. Well, let's jump into tonight's topic. I don't think I know this one. No. You were born before all of us. I know. I know. But this only happened when I was two years old, it looks like. So I've heard the saying a lot, but I never knew where it came from.
The first time I heard it was on a podcast that we both listened to, actually.
Yeah, I probably skipped over that episode.
You probably have. Cause I thought I was hearing like, what the hell is this? This mean? And then I read, I like listened to him like, Oh yeah. Okay.
Yeah. So, so the dingo ate my baby.
How did that go again?
The dingo ate my baby.
Okay.
Yeah. All right. Good. All right. So on a freezing August night in 1980, deep in the pitch black heart of the Australian outback, a nine week old baby vanished into the desert night without a trace. There was no body, no weapon, and no logical motive. Only a mother's terrified scream shattering the silence of the campsite. The dingo's got my baby. Okay. It was the claim so bizarre and unprecedented that it instantly divided a nation, igniting a mystery that would take 32 agonizing years to truly solve. Did a wild animal actually commit the unthinkable? Or was that frantic cry the opening line of a perfectly orchestrated cover-up? Within days, the tragedy transformed from a standard missing persons case into a dark national obsession.
To a skeptical public and a desperate police force, the truth seemed far more sinister than a predator in the night. Soon the investigation was swallowed by a toxic web of secret forensic experiments, aggressive police raids, and hushed whispers of religious cult sacrifices.
