There's no place to escape to. This is the Last Podcast. On the left.
That's when the cannibalism started.
Oh, those murky, murky waters. Murky, murky Black Dahlia waters. I have been up to my nipples. That's deep. Yeah. Black Dahlia, man.
That's like three feet deep.
Eddie, I'll allow it because it's almost Christmas. It is funny because I've never, I never did the Black Dahlia deep dive. Yeah, I didn't either. It was like one of those true crime things that I kind of thought, I think it's because as we were getting deeper into true crime as a person. Yeah. First of all, it was like more into serial killers. Like then I found the Zodiac and I had seen pictures of the Black Dahlia corpse. And it wasn't until now that like it's kind of then the last podcast got going and And I started thinking like, you know, we'll get there. Yeah, eventually. You know, so I don't need to look into it now. And now I realize like why it's like this. It's very confusing. I am so deep in. I'm losing my fucking mind.
I'm doing the thing where I'm seeing her face everywhere. I'm talking about hacking tits off everywhere all the time. It's getting a bit of a verbal tick of mine. And then what I did last night. Verbal tit? Last night, what I did is that I wanted to really get in the headspace. Just started waving knives around the kitchen. Yeah. And I was just, like, trying to measure Natalie of where I'd cut her directly in half. But I went in and I looked up the top songs of 1947 just to kind of get in the mood. And I listened to a bunch of old pop songs. And I was just sitting there. And Natalie came back. She had a dinner with a bunch of her girlfriends. She came in and she just saw, like, me, no shirt, in my underwear, watching, drinking a fucking three fingers of scotch, listening to, here you want to win? Oh, you never will be. I wish you had those little belts that hold your socks up.
I'm sitting there drinking about it being like, we'll never know who killed Elizabeth's short wife. We never will know because every mystery unlocks another mystery.
And you're like, oh, and then it kind of feels nice to be here again.
Yeah, it does. Welcome to the last podcast on the left, ladies and gentlemen. My name is Marcus Parks. I'm here with the in-too-deep Henry Zebrowski.
Oh, just a little couch ride with my sweetheart.
Gonna cut her tits off.
Oh, let's go smile, swear like my baby.
And the newly traumatized Ed Larson, who just saw the Elizabeth Short crime scene photos for the first time just before walking in here. Yeah, you just sent them to me. I asked you to. Yes, you asked me. I never send them to people without permission or direct request. I was like, while we're doing the show, I might as well see it. And I did not finish my lunch. It was very upsetting. Hey, no, Eddie, you got through most of it. I definitely had a couple more bites. But I officially, I think I have a good theory before we get started on who it was. World's worst magician. Yeah. He cut the box in half and then he's just like, oh no.
I just, honestly, I looked at all the manuals and I just thought if I believed... Oh, hot water.
Now, in many ways, Los Angeles is the promise of the American West. It's a place of reinvention. The farthest you can run before you hit ocean. A place where there's ample opportunity to become somebody else entirely if that's what you so choose. But within that rebirth lies great vulnerability. And L.A. has always been host to parasites constantly on the search for a cocoon to suck dry and throw away without a second thought. Tell us how you really feel. Yeah. That's right, though. It's pretty close, but that's kind of why I like it. One might even say that much of the entertainment industry has been built on this very principle since day one.
I feel nothing. The key is to have a sub's inclination to be embarrassed and then the lack of shame to hold anything back. That's the key, is that you've got to be able to come to Los Angeles, eat shit, and like it.
