Chapter 3: What details are revealed about the victim's background?
Horrible. Guac is never free. Never. Always. Always two bucks, too. Not even 75 cents.
Two bucks. They never make a mistake and you get something free. They always charge you double for something. Always. I only got two drinks. I only got one drink.
Oh, and I didn't even order this kind. Perfect. And I got charged twice for it. That's a curse. That's what I mean. Minor annoyances. That'll drive somebody crazy.
They'll lose their fucking mind. Every time you go for a soda, it's always Orange Crush.
Always. I don't want that. I mean, sometimes, once in a while, but not every day.
From time to time.
Not every day. Yeah. So there's another one, the Grand Mesa Thunderbirds. Ute legend holds it that giant thunderbirds, massive eagle-like birds, once lived atop Grand Mesa. And these powerful creatures ruled the skies. And the thunderbirds attacked a Ute village and carried off children, which they'd have to be some pretty big birds to carry off a child. Thunderbird never existed, right?
No, I don't think so.
I don't think so. I think it's legend.

Chapter 4: What are the implications of grief discussed in the podcast?
Your brain can't process it. Yeah. And by the way, too, I've heard somebody said from a few weeks ago that I don't know anything about grief because I said that someone needs to move on with their life. And it's like, fuck you. Look, man, tell me that. Tell me about grief, motherfucker. I don't care. Yeah. What are you talking about?
I lost, like, my two best friends who were young within a year and a half of each other in tragic ways. Like, I've had plenty. Fuck you.
Sometimes tragic shit like that hardens your heart to the world and you don't want to, you know what I mean? Sometimes you just got to go, well, what am I going to fucking sit here and not pay my bills? Thank you. There's shit to do.
I got – exactly because it's enough already and that's what it is. If you gain enough grief, it's not a shock to you anymore and you get – you react to it differently and that's – I'm not saying that's good or bad. I'm just saying, you know, don't judge my grief. That's just what it is. Don't judge how I fucking – yeah.
Everybody grieves different too. That's like the – that's a common thing that people say but it's true that – Look, man, I'm going to my advice to you when you're grieving is going to be calm the fuck down. Tomorrow's another day, too. You know, you got to get through it. You got to get through this. Are you going to fucking melt into a ball in the corner? What's wrong with you?
No, but I did weird shit in that during that period. I was I had a fucking career like I made movies. I had a thing. I won festivals. I had like actually like some heat thing and I directed. Yeah. And I just, I shut it all. I didn't do anything. I said, I'm not doing this anymore, basically. And I went and started serving fucking papers. I did that for like three years.
And then I said to like 2012, I was like, what am I doing? This is a miserable fucking life. And I'm making myself miserable because I was miserable because those people were involved in the things I was doing with me. And then I was like, I got to go do comedy again. I have to do it. So then I went to comedy and then I met you. And here we are.
Life just happens.
That's how it happened. I wouldn't be here if those things didn't happen.

Chapter 5: What strange events occur surrounding Alan and Miriam's relationship?
I really wouldn't.
Yeah.
Because I would have been making films and not doing comedy, and it would have been a totally different path and, you know, just different.
And the way we react to things sometimes creates one door closes, another opens. That's it. These old cliches, they sometimes fucking right on the nose, goddammit.
Yeah. Don't worry. When God makes your knee hurt, he kicks you in the ass. You know that old saying.
Have it. Figure it out.

So anyway, Tim, the brother, said that Jack couldn't tie his shoes with his right hand, which no one can tie their shoes with one hand. Everybody requires two hands to tie shoes is the thing, which is a very strange thing. I'm very right-handed, James.
If I tried to tie a shoe with that hand.
Just that hand. I'm walking around with untied shoes.
Yeah. No shit. A lot. Now, Jack and Miriam's son, who was home the night this happened, has a different thing. He believes that his dad did shoot himself and did shoot himself with his right hand as well. He said that Jack had broken a few years ago.
He said Jack might have been very left-handed before, but Jack broke his left arm a few years ago and had to wear a cast for a long time and could do nothing with his left hand. So he learned to do everything with his right hand. How about that? He was very ambidextrous by the end of it. Amazing. He would write with his right hand sometimes just because it was convenient.
He said the right-handed suicide, definitely not impossible. And the son said he heard the shot and he heard his mother come running out of the house screaming and said, that's how it happened. Like, what are we talking about? So 2004, Miriam persists. She's having problems. Now she's single and she's not doing well financially.
She gets busted in Florida for a counterfeit check cashing scheme that she's doing, which is not great, obviously. She had an AKA even. Her alias was Francesa Giles Giles.
Francesa.

Chapter 7: What evidence linked Miriam to Alan's murder?
That's part of it.
You got to pay your bills.
You got to pay your bills. So then they go to the computers now. They take Miriam's computer and they found over 180 searches related to Alan's medications.
Oh.
Now, mind you, there's no poison in the system or anything like that. The gunshot wound is the death. She searched Ambien overdose. She searched Viagra overdose. Oh. Your dick explodes. It's just boom. Like Porky's Rifle. That's it. Yeah, it's all frayed on the end. It's Elmer Fudd, isn't it? Yeah, whatever. It's Elmer Fudd, yeah, but I get what you meant. I saw him. They're similar looking.
They're the same guy. Same dude, yeah. So she also, she searched that what happens when you mix Ambien and Viagra if you have heart problems, because she knows he's got heart issues. Dang, that's a sleepy boner. Then she searched poisoning methods. Uh-huh. Ways of poisoning people that are undetectable, less detectable, and all that kind of shit. It's wild.
If this is true, this woman went through all the trouble in the world and was like, fuck it, I'm going to shoot him.

Chapter 8: What were the key findings from the investigation?
Exactly, yeah.
Wow. So the computer, by the way, was a gateway, which is just if you want a little blast from the past with the cow spots and all that shit. Those cow spots are amazing. They had whole giant stores full of those fucking things. That's insane.
The box that showed up was all cow print. It was all big cow print.
So this computer was Miriam's computer and showed the repeated internet searches, but overdosing on the drugs he already had and different fucking ways to make it. She even... searched for how to put a horse down at home. Oh, you monster. They presumed that that was for him, not the horse. There's no horses that have been put down.
So if you can put a horse down with something, you could probably do it for a 64-year-old guy too.
I'll bet the first page says, how big a gun you got?
Yeah, you got a big old gun? You got one of those things they hit the cows with in the head?
Those are very expensive to put down.
I bet, yeah. A horse, it costs thousands. Fuck yeah. Everything with a horse costs thousands of dollars. Everything.
