What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
There's no place to escape to. This is the last podcast. On the left. That's when the cannibalism started.
What was that? I'm trying to get into the Gary Ridgway headspace. I put a plastic bag over my head for a while this morning to kill off some of those extra pesky brain cells. I'm just trying to get... I'm just like, that's the way to get into Gary Ridgway. I'm gonna kill the bitch. I'm gonna kill the bitch. Just because that's one of his favorite sayings.
What childhood experiences shaped Gary Ridgway into a serial killer?
Oh, yeah, it's a catchphrase. I didn't want to get too crazy and violent with it, so I just did a really bad job of painting a truck.
Welcome to the Last Podcast on the Left. Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Marcus Parks. I'm here with method actor Henry Zebrowski.
I'm a goat. Because he reminds me a little bit of the... What's his name? From South Park. Oh, Timmy.
No, not Timmy.
Jimmy. Jimmy, yeah. Oh, the stand-up? Yeah. He's got those little eyes, too. He's got those little blinky little red eyes.
The beadiest eyes in serial killing.
He has the Arthur Shawcross tell. Yeah. Where when they're talking about things that particularly make them horny, they get real blinky.
Yeah. And we have the man who doesn't get blinky at all when he gets horny, as far as I know. It's Ed Larson.
Yeah, no, I think I just shut him and go to sleep. See, my eyes are wide open. That's one long blink.
I want to see. Today we have a redo. We have a second pass.
How did Gary Ridgway's family dynamics influence his behavior?
It's yet another look at a serial killer that we covered long ago. Today we start our journey on Gary Ridgway.
I've brought this up before, and I once did one of those horrible tests, like which serial killer are you, and I got Green River Killer. Ugh.
Yeah, you know what? I can see it. Okay, yeah. Your blue collar. Yeah, what I'd like you to do is go... I gotta kill this bitch. She's a bitch.
I gotta kill this bitch. I like the woods.
He does love the woods. He does. He does. Amongst many other things, he does love the woods.
I was just in Renton, which is next to SeaTac. Oh, yeah. I was just there, and we had a nice place right on the Lake Washington there, and I walked through the woods, and...
It's nice. I can see why it would get you horny. It's real quiet and private, too, right?
Oh, absolutely. I was smoking all kinds of weed.
No one said nothing. It's great. But the reason why we're doing this Redux is because, you know, when we did this series back in the day, we were kind of like, we're still in the research, figuring out what we're doing for the show. How early was it?
Very. I mean, this is back when it's like I at that point I was still on like six podcasts a week.
What were the early warning signs of Gary Ridgway's violent tendencies?
Yeah. And also editing all of them and producing all of them. So like I was basically like looking at Wikipedia pages and like checking out like a couple of like murderpedia pages and trying to put shit together, not sleeping much and working like 90 hours a week. It was insane. So it was a let's say a bad job.
But it was fun to do, but at the same time, we did not, because normally, it's like the opposite. Normally, when we do the old episodes, we got into the really graphic shit, and we didn't get to all the other, like, context and stuff, where this time, it's so wonderful to know that when we got back into it, the information's actually way more fucked up than we even ever thought in the beginning, and that's great for us.
Yeah.
Now, I watched a documentary on HBO Max yesterday, and obviously I read the script to prep today. He seems like he might be the worst. He could fall in love fast enough.
He's up there. He's definitely, as far as body count goes, he's one of the most prolific in American history. Samuel Little beat him, though, by a lot. But he is definitely in that area of amongst the worst.
And you know how I described him? He does it Kirby Puckett style. He's simple. You know what I mean? He's the bunter. That's what this is all about. This is about moving guys around bases. Moving sex workers to various shallow graves. He's an RBI guy, not a home run guy. Exactly.
He's a clutch player.
So as we said, many years ago, we attempted an episode on Gary Ridgway.
