If you're not following Marty Miller on TikTok, you've made a great mistake. Truly. I don't know how to describe his content. It's indescribable in the best way.
But I urge you to go listen to it. I have been sending you those TikToks for years at this point. He will just be like, shout out to you, girl, on top of your head. This is looking awesome today. He's phenomenal. And we were just watching the one that he did, Elena found it, after the America's Next Top Model doc, which we just watched, and you know it's going to be a bonus ep. Oh, guys.
I have so much to say, and I won't say it here and now. Because we're getting ready to film the bonus episode, or to record the bonus episode. I'm sorry, I said film. I shouldn't have said that.
We're not filming it.
We're not filming that one. Maybe in the future we'll film some. Maybe we should, and we should smize through it. Oh, my God.

But go get it. Go pre-order it.
It's great. I am going to start listening too because let me clear something up. I've read all the books except the third one. I haven't read that one yet. But I want to redo them and I'm going to listen to the audiobook because it's been highly suggested for Butcher and the Wren and The Butcher Game. They're pretty great. Because I heard Joe and Sophie are knocking it out of the park.
So I'm going to listen. Yeah. Highly suggest. Is Mikey whistling? Cause I'll kill him for that. One thing about me. Do you ever, do you get like rage about things that don't make sense?
Yeah, you do.

Chapter 5: What was the outcome of Melissa's first trial for attempted murder?
I hate whistling.
I whistle all the time, so I can't.
I feel like I've never even heard you whistle. I do it all the time. Do you know that I hate it so you don't do it in front of me?
Maybe deep in my soul I know that. That's nice. Drew whistles and I literally, I'm like, stop it. That's so funny. Whistling does not have any effect on me. I just hate it. That's a thing.
It's a thing. I had a boss that used to whistle for me. So like not in a hot way. In a like, I need you to come do this way. Is there a hot way to whistle at you? No. Well, I was saying like how people would be like, Oh, like a cat call. He wasn't sexually harassing me, just to be clear. Yeah. But it was more like, come do this. And I was like, ugh. And you were like, fuck you, bitch.
No, I don't want to work.
Oh, you were better at it. You didn't say, fuck you, bitch. No. Uh, no. Uh, no. No. All right. Yeah, I don't think there's, I'm trying to think. Oh, what? This is just another personal thing. What's up? I'm very late to the party on this, but I have to say it. I finally got to sit down and watch Sinners. Me and John have been wanting to watch it for fucking months and months and months.
And the girls had a sleepover with Auntie Titi. And so we were like, oh my God, we can watch a two hour movie. And so we watched it. I cannot stress it enough. If you have not seen Sinners. or you didn't think you wanted to see it, you want to see it. I knew that I wanted to see it and I just kept not seeing it and I still haven't seen it. It is one of the most incredible movies I have ever seen.
I am still thinking about it. Is it like super scary? It's scary.

Chapter 6: How did Melissa manipulate her relationships for financial gain?
Oh, it's a mix of all different... There's one scene in particular, and I'm sure you guys know what scene I'm talking about, where they just meld all these different music genres and music time periods all together, and it's... We were like jaws on the floor. Really? Like it's one of those movies that when it's over, you're just like, how, how was I allowed to watch that? Really?
Like that was so good. I'm like, what the fuck? I want them to win all the Oscars. Damn. I think they should win all the Oscars. Michael B. Jordan was fucking amazing. Really?

Chapter 7: What were the consequences of Melissa's actions after her release from prison?
It's really sad.
but you know what i lived franklin lived and i lived i laughed i loved yeah i did on top of my head on top of my head so i have a case for you i that's great because that is why we're here that is in fact why we're here um i did do my job which is nice nobody had to whistle at me about it i love that because i was going to you were gonna do it don't i hate whistling were you just whistling out there no maybe it was john was it john whistling maybe damn
yeah it was a jaunty whistle i thought it was it had theater kid energy i've done that i love that all right so we are going to be talking today about melissa ann shepherd who is known as the internet black widow whoa yeah okay this is a interesting case it's a really sad case because a lot of like people were taken advantage of in the later years of their life which is the worst time i think to be well it's always a bad time to be taken advantage of but
But there's something inherently sad when an elderly person or someone in the later years of their life gets taken advantage of. Yeah. Because at that point, you're just supposed to be living.
You're supposed to be enjoying the fruits of your labor. Yeah, and just chilling. And not having an internet black widow take advantage of you. Yeah, you don't need that. So let's get into it. Let's do it. In the fall of 2012, so pretty recently actually, sort of.
Doesn't that feel like it was like last week? That's still very recent to me.
It is. In the fall of 2012, Fred Weeks was still mourning the loss of his wife of 54 years. But he decided it was time to move forward in his life. He wanted to start dating again or at least thinking about it. And it was then that he met Melissa Ann Russell. She was a 78-year-old woman who moved in four doors down from him in a retirement community. And this was in New Glasgow, Nova Scotia.
A few days later, Melissa knock, knock, knocked on Fred's door. And he told reporters, she just wanted to know if I was lonesome the same she was. He was, in fact, lonesome. And they hit it off and started a whirlwind romance. It sounds like such a me cue. It would be.
So a few weeks into Fred and Melissa's relationship, Fred called his longtime friend George to be like, yo, I have fallen in love. That's like verbatim what he said. It's a quote. He said he and Millie wanted to get married as soon as possible because this whirlwind romance was whirlwinding. That's cute. It is cute. George, the friend, later told CBS News they were kind of bubbly. Kind of bubbly.

Chapter 8: How did Melissa's pattern of behavior continue with her subsequent relationships?
So George tried to call up Fred and warn him, but they had already left for the boat for Newfoundland. So he called the police instead and insisted that they needed to warn his friend somehow. He said, I wanted Fred to know the situation he might be in. You know, he could be in danger.
But unfortunately, and I'm sure you're all thinking this, the police explained since Melissa hadn't done anything or like committed any crimes against Fred and she had already served her time for previous charges, they couldn't get involved.
There's nothing they can do.
They can't just be like, knock, knock, warning. You married a felon. So four days later, Fred and Melissa were on a boat headed on their honeymoon and Fred started to feel dizzy.
Oh no.
Yeah. He was still unwell when they reached their hotel and went to lay down, but he woke up a few hours later and he was still dizzy. And soon after he collapsed and had to be rushed to the nearest hospital on their honeymoon.
Poor Fred.
So the nurses ran blood tests, and the results showed that Fred had a large amount of the tranquilizers lorazepam and temazepam in his system, despite having no memory of taking either of those drugs. Hmm.
When medical staff asked Melissa about Fred's medical history, she said that he had prostate problems, bowel surgery, and that he was suffering from dementia and chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder. COPD. Yeah, but I didn't even know that. Check you out. But when those same providers tried to confirm this with Fred, he was like, I don't have any of those things.
