What is the background of the Murdoch family and their influence in South Carolina?
There's no place to escape to. This is the last podcast. On the left. That's when the cannibalism started.
In memory of today's episode, in celebration of today's episode.
In memory.
Did today's episode die as well? Yes. Oh, my God, yes. We haven't even made it yet.
Is it dead already?
In the spirit of the ghost of this episode. Sure. I actually made a really important Fat Man discovery. Okay. That has changed my life. In a significant way, and I want to show you, Eddie, because I don't know if you know what I've done. Oh, no. What'd you do? I have solved my falling down pants problem. What? With... No. Fretless belts. Whoa! This is a free one. This is a free one, fretless belts. No holes. No holes in the belt. Really? Completely threaded. Cute. make it as actually tight as you need it to be and not have to deal with the fucking garbage industry standards that they put the, I think they call them frets.
Don't tell me where my fucking holes are.
Yeah, don't tell me how big my waist is. You're wrong. You're always wrong. It's always between the holes. Don't fret. Get a belt that works. No frets. This is the Robert Fripp. I am playing Crimson King every day when I get up and I go to work. King Crimson.
You have her, Dan. That's the name of the fucking song.
It's the name of the song.
Fretless Belts.
Welcome to the last podcast on the left, ladies and gentlemen. My name is Marcus Parks, here to keep Henry Zebrowski from embarrassing himself further. With his fretless belt.
How did Alec Murdoch's early life shape his future actions?
Fretless belt! I don't even need to know where it is, man. Again, Robert Fripp. I remember that.
Yeah, you do. How did you remember the guitarist from King Crimson, but you don't remember the name of the fucking band? I remember he had a fretless bass.
Yeah.
And we have the man who actually knows what he's talking about when it comes to music. I think it's Jaco Pastores.
That's Jaco Pastores. Robert Favre is a guitarist. He played the solo Babies on Fire for Brian Eno, as Larson is also here.
I am very excited for Henry's pants to fall down, because I know he can't put that belt back on while he's sitting down. So at the end of this episode, you will inevitably forget that you took your belt off, get up, pants will fall down on camera, and then that'll be beautiful for the home audience. Hopefully.
Today, we're starting off the year with a modern true crime saga. Just like last year, we started off with Lori Vallow and Chad Daybell. I miss them. I miss them, too. This year, we're starting off. No, they're really not. This year, we are starting off with, I think, I would say the second largest true crime story of this century so far.
Mr. Murdoch. How do you plead? I plead not guilty. I would be so excited for this. I would put this in the top. This is the 2020s first like big, big, big, big, big, big one.
Yeah. 2021. Right. Yeah. And could you before we get into the story, could you walk the audience a little bit through the voice that you were walking us through prior to this episode's recording?
For Alec Murdoch, he is a... The only way to describe him really is that he's like a flute with a bag of fat filled with oxy attached to it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I've had a couple of them growing up. He's got a very distinctive voice. Part of what caused him to be guilty in the first place is his extremely distinctive voice. But I'm trying to place it, and I know that it's somewhere between... South Carolina, the classic heavy hitter, Pee Wee Gaskins.
It's foul truth, yeah.
And Michael Jackson.
The words you used were restrained Michael Jackson. It's grounded Michael Jackson.
He's a grounded Michael Jackson because he'd be like, I do believe your ignorance. You're being ignorant about the facts of the case, mister. You're being ignorant about what I've done. The idea is that if Michael Jackson was in a stage play, playing himself, and he was a lawyer, and he'd go being like, ladies and gentlemen of the court, I find that you're being ignorant of the charges that have been brought across. It's a capital crime of murder.
What were the key events leading to the Murdoch family murders?
It's interesting you chose the word grounded because that's what would happen to the kids that wouldn't spend the night at Jackson's house.
