There was no anything inside those eyes. They turned black. It scared the hell out of me. Evil, wake up. I'm the one that saw the murder take place by Krivak and DePippo. Anthony DePippo showed no signs of remorse, appearing unfazed after being sentenced to the maximum.

And today is a different type of episode. And I'm gonna be joined by Eric and Linda Oaks. So they are a couple who lost their son, Adam Oaks, due to a fraternity hazing incident that happened almost five years ago. So their story is highlighted in this really unbelievable documentary. It's called 4,000 Days. It's actually premiering soon at the Tribeca Film Festival on June 10th. And this is, again, this is a different type of episode. And it's, we really try at Dirty Rush to highlight the good, the bad, and the ugly.
Linda Oakes 2:59
And this certainly is, falls under the ugly category. Hazing, we're talking in this instance about fraternity hazing is, it can be scary. And for us, this couple and for many other couples, it can be fatal. So we think that it's important to, you know, talk about all aspects of Greek life. And hopefully, you guys as listeners will take some of this in and, you know, can use it in in one way or another. So this amazing and I mean, amazing documentary previewed on June 10, at the Tribeca Film Festival. And it is incredible, very difficult and sad to watch, but really, really important. Hi, Jen. How are you? Hi, what a pleasure and really an honor to meet you both. Thank you so much for coming on. I'm still spinning from this film and I think of Adam since I've seen it.
Linda Oakes 3:54
I think of him all the time. I mean, I only saw it. I saw it, I don't know, a few days ago, but the sweetness of your boy and I'll get like choked up just talking about it, but
Eric Oakes 4:06
Yeah. Yeah. You're getting me choked up.
Linda Oakes 4:08
You know, the way you guys spoke of him and him being your only child and the, you know, the way that you talked about, I have, we have to do this interview, but I want to just tell you that I do think about him often and I'm so sorry for your unimaginable loss.
Eric Oakes 4:25
Thank you. I really appreciate it. And what's conveyed in the movie and what, I mean, that's how, that's who he was. I mean, truthfully, he was, he was, he was, A great kid and a shining light. And it's terrible that he's not here anymore.
Linda Oakes 4:43
I couldn't see it in the movie from the way you all have responded to this.
