There's no place to escape to. This is the last podcast. On the left.
That's when the cannibalism started.
natalie and i relax every night by watching our true crime shows right you know and then one we're watching right now it's called evil lives here and it's about like bad evil family members that you grew up with yeah but what i love about this show was it a home movie
Oh, wait a second. Is this live feed for my living room?
But they do a thing on the show where they always ask a question to like these devastated people. Like this show, I kind of like it because it's really intense. But they show these devastated people and they always go like, huh? Take a look at this picture of this other dead person. What do you think of that? And then they go like, they get upset and stuff. But then eventually they always ask the question. So if you could go back, would you do it all different? And it's like at some point it's like, yeah. Yeah. Like no one's going to be like, no, I'm glad I married the serial murderer.
Well, the thing is, they always have to say if there's kids involved, I was like, well, I wouldn't because otherwise I wouldn't have little Darlene.
But the problem is that sometimes little Darlene turns into angry Darlene. It's going to burn down the mall.
It's a net negative on the world.
Sometimes little Darlene didn't get all the good DNA. Yeah, and if little Darlene didn't exist, maybe you'd have a nice little Timmy. You know, with someone else. And that Timmy's going to be a lawyer, you know, instead of a fucking... A good lawyer. Yeah, that's right.
Yeah, who knows? Well, yeah, yeah, for a bear. A lawyer for a bear. Please! In Forrest Court.
Oh my God, now I have a new career trajectory. You just got to go to school.
Welcome to the last podcast on the left, ladies and gentlemen. Before we get too far into bear law, my name is Marcus Parks. I'm here with Henry Zebrowski.
I'm actually just a part of the otter law constituency, and we're live and covered in hands.
I'm just saying the picnic basket was asking for it.
Probable cause. Probable cause Ed Larson here with the picnic basket defense.
The ham goes in the back.
How is your picnic basket defense these days?
Oh, my God. It's going well, dude. Yeah, it's been wonderful. I've been getting some blankets. I've been put out. You know what? Fuck ants. All right. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Pro bear, anti-ant. Anti, ooh, I guess anti is already, it's already in the word.
Yeah. All right. You've already done it yourself, haven't you? But I'm going to just say right here at the very top of this Pyromaniac episode, I think that it's super important for me to say I think picnics are bullshit. Whoa! Wow. Yeah. Who wants to bring a bunch of cold ass food in the middle of some feces filled, like, patch of ass? Like you're going out to, there's no place in LA that I want to have a picnic.
Also, I got to tell, this is a good warning for everyone. As a dog owner, don't picnic directly under the tree because that's where the dogs pee. They pee against the tree and under the tree. So if you're just eating on a big pile of piss. Yeah.
Welcome to the pyromania episode, ladies and gentlemen.
As we just went through bear law, dog law.
Picnic law. Yeah, picnic law. You know, where to avoid the piss at the park. Yes. Yes, this is our exploration on pyromania.
Yeah, fire.
Hell yeah. Fire, fire.
I am the god of hellfire. And I bring you fire. I bring you to burn.
God, can we play that?
No, absolutely not. We can just say, just go yourself and go listen to the crazy world of Arthur Brown.
Oh, the best song ever. Now, the simplest definition of pyromania, or at least the one most people probably use when they think of the subject, is the habitual setting of fires as an act of pleasure. But after dipping into the research, we found that the reasons behind pyromania are complicated and varied, although there are some unifying factors. According to the DSM-5, pyromania has a fair amount of markers, with the most obvious being the deliberate act of setting a fire on more than one occasion, a fascination or attraction to fire, tension or arousal before the act, and pleasure, gratification, or relief when setting the fire or witnessing the aftermath.
