Tara (00:01.545)
not come to me yet.
Tara (00:11.819)
Come on.
Tara (00:18.869)
There it is.
AJ (00:20.238)
Okay. All right. So then let’s just start.
AJ (00:29.938)
Hey everyone, welcome once again to Podcast in Death, the weekly podcast where we discuss the in-death series of books by JD Robb. I am AJ.
Tara (00:38.902)
Tara.
AJ (00:40.718)
And this is episode 284 of podcasts in death. And in this episode, again, you know, I was, I think it was yesterday in the morning, Monday morning. I texted Tara like, are we recording today? And she said, I could do it today or tomorrow. And I said, I don’t even know what we’re going to record. Or you asked me what we’re going to record about. And I was like, I don’t know. But,
Tara (00:57.025)
you
Tara (01:05.374)
Yeah. Well…
AJ (01:09.1)
So I went to our Facebook page and, we had somebody, I can’t remember who it was. Sorry. suggest it might’ve been Betsy. can’t remember. who suggested a topic like, elevators and glides, just talking about Eve’s thoughts on elevators. don’t know. but I was thinking about that topic and I thought, wait a minute, what if we did a topic that was.
Not necessarily just like elevators, but elevator encounters, like all of the encounters that Eve, because everyone’s well, have a funny elevator scene that happens in the series. So I went through and I looked for, obviously I wasn’t going to get every single one, but I found several scenes.
Tara (01:52.713)
Yeah, absolutely.
AJ (02:06.846)
having do with elevators or in and around elevators from the books. And I thought we would talk about those. And you know, it’s funny. So I told you Tara that I was talking to an old friend of mine. She and I have been good friends for gosh, you know, 25 years or approximately. And she lives in she now lives in Buffalo. She was living in
Tara (02:20.609)
Mm-hmm.
AJ (02:36.248)
California, she lives in Buffalo. That’s neither here nor there. We started talking about the podcasts and everything. And she said something to the effect of having a hard time. She doesn’t understand people, like, you know, stretch a topic to an hour. And I was like, you would be surprised.
Tara (03:03.302)
yeah. You’re like, actually.
AJ (03:05.45)
I said, we can find the most random topics that we think we’re not going to take when maybe this is maybe a half hour topic or whatever, and we’ll talk about it for an hour and a half. So I say that to say that I think I thought at first, well, this is maybe a half hour topic, but it may be longer.
Tara (03:27.871)
I believe in us.
AJ (03:29.23)
So I went and looked and I could be wrong, obviously. The first elevator encounter that was substantial or that I thought was funny or whatever was in loyalty in death.
AJ (03:50.25)
and
Tara (03:51.755)
That is an encounter, all right.
AJ (03:53.358)
In loyalty and death, the elevator encounter we have there is, I think this was Pibon and McNabb’s first sexual encounter.
Tara (04:06.131)
It is their first time is in an elevator.
AJ (04:10.08)
Yeah, because they were, know, okay, we’re just going to do this once and get it over with, like not get it over with, but get it out of our systems, which is a very popular romance trope. There’s a lot of that in romance. We’re obviously attracted to each other, but we don’t want to be. And so let’s just do it once to get it and get it out of our systems. And then we can go on with our lives. And of course it never ends up happening that way.
Tara (04:17.055)
Mm-hmm.
Tara (04:22.015)
Yeah. Yeah.
Tara (04:35.015)
no. It’s great.
AJ (04:36.266)
So, but do you wanna read the scene? You want me to do it?
Tara (04:41.825)
I Would you like me would you like to read it? I always read first
AJ (04:48.63)
I can read it. So this is from, says she tucked the link away. That’s Peabody. So Peabody tucked the link away as they stepped into the creaky elevator. Let’s make this quick, Nab. I don’t want him wondering where I am. Okay then, let’s get started right now. He grabbed her, had her up against the wall as his mouth fused on hers before she could tweak. Hey, wait, she.
Tara (04:49.729)
I’ll let you read this one.
AJ (05:16.64)
Her eyes crossed when his teeth closed over the cord in her neck. Is this a secured elevator? I’m Edd. He had his hands and they were busy. He had fast hands and they were busy dragging open the buttons of her overcoat. Would I live in an unsecured building? Then cut it out. Wait, this isn’t even legal. He could feel her heart thudding, feel the frantic beat of it under his hand.
Screw it. He turned jab the controls to stop the car between floors. What the hell are you doing? We’re about to live out one of my top 10 fantasies. From his pocket, he took a mini toolkit, went to work on the security panel. In here? In here? Just the thought of it had the blood swimming wildly in her head. Do you know how many city ordinances you’ll be breaking? We’ll arrest each other after.
God, his hands weren’t steady. Who’d have thought it? But he grunted in satisfaction when the light on the security camera overhead went blank. He deactivated the alarm system, tossed the tools in the corner and swung around to her. McNabb, this is insane. I know, he jerked his coat off, flung it aside. I like it. He grabbed her again, grinned. I thought you would. So, yeah. It’s…
Tara (06:38.763)
So great.
AJ (06:43.4)
It’s a nice little sex scene. And we go from one elevator sex scene to another elevator sex scene. This one is in Witness and Death. And this is after they, they searched what’s his name his apartment, Richard Draco. This is after they searched his apartment and they found
Tara (06:45.067)
That’s so funny.
Tara (06:50.698)
Ahem.
You
Tara (07:04.033)
yes, yes, Draco.
Tara (07:09.985)
Hmm
AJ (07:10.348)
What is it? That thing, that vial of rabbit and Eve sniffed it.
Tara (07:15.489)
Yes, that’s right. Do you want me to read it? Okay, this is from Witness in Death. She locked the door, started to reach for a police seal in her kit. Must you do that? He eyed the seal with dislike. It’s very off putting to the other guests. Yes, I must. Besides, it’ll give them a secret thrill. Ooh, look, George, that’s where the dead actor lived. Get the VidCam. Your attitude towards society at large is sadly cynical and accurate.
AJ (07:19.713)
Yeah.
Tara (07:43.817)
She stepped into the elevator ahead of him, waiting for the doors to close, then pounced. Just give me a God. Desperate for release, she rubbed herself against him, bit his lip, moaning as her hand squeezed hard on his butt. Phew. On a long breath, she pushed him away, circled her shoulders. That’s better for you, maybe he made a grab for her, but she slapped a hand on his chest. No games in public elevators. Don’t you know that’s a violation of city code?
Tower A penthouse level, she ordered, and the car slid seamlessly into motion. You’ll definitely have to pay for that. She leaned back against the wall as the elevator started its horizontal ride. Please, you’re scaring me. He only smiled and slipped his hands into his pocket. Toyed idly with the rubber cone he’d palmed out of the drawer. Be afraid, he murmured and made her laugh as the car came to a stop.
AJ (08:34.348)
We’ve already discussed that it’s gross that Rorke, you know, stole somebody else’s sex toy, but it really is weird. See, so now she slept through our briefing room and now she’s like, I’m awake now and I want attention.
Tara (08:38.164)
Yes.
Yes, so weird.
So fucking weird. But.
Tara (08:52.193)
yeah.
AJ (08:59.416)
So, yeah. So the next one I found was in divided and this is, it doesn’t necessarily have to do with elevators, but it kind of does. This is in between Eve and Somerset. This is, I think after Eve’s car was blown up.
Tara (08:59.617)
Lily.
AJ (09:18.762)
in divided? Yeah. So it says she limped into the house but couldn’t quite limp past Somerset. He looked down his nose, sniffed. I see you’ve managed to destroy several more articles of clothing. Yeah, I thought I’d rip and burn them while I was wearing them just to see what happened. I- Lily, go lay down.
Tara (09:18.802)
Yes, that sounds right.
AJ (09:47.32)
Poor dog.
Tara (09:50.473)
very hard life she leads.
AJ (09:51.584)
Yeah, I know. I assume your vehicle suffered similarly as it’s not in evidence. It’s trash, but then it always was. She headed for the stairs, but he blocked her path, then scooped up the cat who was trying to climb up her legs. For God’s sake, Lieutenant, take the elevator. And you may as well take something voluntarily for the pain before you have to be humiliated into it.
I’m walking it off so I don’t stiffen up and start to look like you.” She knew it was stubborn. She knew it was stupid. But she took the stairs. The worst was, if he hadn’t been there at the door lurking, she’d have taken the damn elevator in the first place.
AJ (10:39.414)
Yeah, Eve. in the same book, we have another encounter with something that happened on an elevator. They go to someplace. I don’t know. They’re going to visit somebody.
Tara (10:53.705)
And I forget.
AJ (10:55.338)
Caro, Reva. OK. So they yeah, so they go to the apartment and it’s even Peabody and Roarke. Do you want me to read that one as well? OK.
Tara (10:56.807)
Yeah? Reva, Caro…
Tara (11:07.617)
I can read this one.
Tara (11:14.71)
Roarke walked directly to the automated security panel that was flanked by two tall urns filled with furnished gold fall flowers. Why don’t I do it and save time? Without waiting for the go-ahead, he placed his palm on the plate and was immediately cleared. Good afternoon, sir, the computer said with the same delighted enthusiasm as Jerry the doorman. Welcome back. What can I do for you?
AJ (11:18.679)
Okay.
Tara (11:42.781)
Inform Ms. Ewing that I’m here, along with Lt. Dallas and Detective Peabody, and clear the elevator.” Yes, sir. Enjoy your visit.” Now, wasn’t that better than having a pissing match with a machine? Roarke asked as he led the way to a trio of silver elevator doors. No, I like having pissing matches with machines. It gets my blood moving. He patted her on the shoulder and nudged her into the car ahead of him. Well, next time, then. Eighteenth floor, he requested.
I guess this is one of your buildings.” He smiled over at Peabody. It is, yes. Sweet, so if I ever have any money to invest, would you maybe give me some pointers? I’d be delighted to. Yeah, like cops have investment funds, Eve shook her head. You just start out saving a little bit each payday check, Peabody explained, then you find the right place to put it so you can increase the pot, right? Exactly so, Rorak agreed. Just let me know when you’re ready and I’ll find you a rainbow to bury that pot under.
He gestured when the doors opened on 18. Ladies, we’re on duty. That makes us cops, not ladies. But Eve stalked out. I do, I forgot about that. We do, we do. It does not happen very often, but it’s always delightful when it does.
AJ (12:53.336)
So, we love Rorik and Peabody together.
AJ (13:04.608)
It really does. It really does. And it always irritates Eve because she is like, we’re here being cops. Stop being regular people. Eve.
Tara (13:11.507)
Right? Don’t call us ladies. And then she’s like, I like fighting with machines. And you’re like, yes, we know. He knows that. He doesn’t care.
AJ (13:20.046)
He does know that, yeah.
Tara (13:25.025)
you
AJ (13:25.582)
So the next one is Visions in Death. in this one, Peabody, McNabb, and Roarke and Eve are invited to Charles and Louise’s for like a little dinner party.
and this is p-bot and mcnapp had broken up and they’re arguing on the way up in the elevator
So, McNabb says, this is when Peabody first tells him like, you know, she never had sex with Charles.
Tara (14:05.526)
Yes.
AJ (14:06.28)
And McNabb says, you’re telling me you never boinked the LC ever. Charles and I were our friends. That’s it. McNabb grabbed her arm, hauled her back a step. You let me think you were boinking him. No, you let you think I was. She poked a finger at his chest and made an ass of yourself, which is a pretty short walk, really. You. He. He paced down the hall and back again. Why?
because we were friends and because I was boinking you, moron. But we broke up because instead of asking what was going on, you accused and you ordered and you took that short walk to Asphill.
And you tell me now a minute before we walk in his door? Yeah, that’s cold, Peabody. Yeah, she patted his cheek. I wait for a payback and I deliver. You were a jerk coming over here toasted and punching him. But I like that part, which is why I was magnanimous enough to forgive you for sleeping with the twins. I didn’t. He tapped her a finger on her nose. Gotcha. You didn’t?
I was going to and I could have because we were on the breakup shuffle but I didn’t want the twins. You bragged about it. Hey, I’ve got a dick. Man’s got a dick. He’s got to have pride in it. You are a dick, she said, but with a sloppy grin. Now I forgive you for thinking I was bouncing back and forth between you and Charles and some sex like some sex bunny. She body you’re my little sex bunny.
Aw, she flung her arms around him to exchange the sloppy grin for a big sloppy kiss. The elevator doors opened behind them. God, there goes my appetite. Dallas, Peabody sent a dreamy look over McNabb’s shoulder. We’re making up. Next time, up in a dark locked room. McNabb, your hands are in violation of several civil codes. Whoops. He still gave Peabody’s butt a final squeeze.
Tara (15:55.637)
Ha ha ha!
Tara (16:13.537)
That is a pretty fucking hilarious scene. I forgot about that scene.
AJ (16:14.539)
It really is.
Tara (16:22.537)
It’s the, it’s either the, hands are in violation of several civil codes line or, all, or Peabody when she’s like, you took that short walk to ass bill.
AJ (16:31.117)
You
AJ (16:38.252)
Ha ha ha ha.
Tara (16:40.897)
great scene.
AJ (16:41.836)
Yeah, for me, it’s gotta be the doors opening up and Eve going, God, there goes my app tie.
Tara (16:43.649)
my god, I have a tummy.
AJ (16:49.922)
Ha
Tara (16:53.291)
Ha ha!
AJ (16:54.168)
that’s funny.
Tara (16:56.737)
There’s my friend Brittany has this picture she puts up as her profile picture every year around Christmas Because there’s I don’t know where she was she lives in New York City Maybe Washington Square Park, but there are these people who were kissing like making out near her so she like Shifted and took a selfie of herself making a disgusted face with him in the background Every year she posts it and every year I laugh
AJ (17:22.926)
hahahahah
Tara (17:28.661)
Like I’m thinking about it, I’m like,
AJ (17:33.368)
Yeah, what would have been even better if they were taking a selfie of themselves while they were kissing? And then she’s taking a selfie of herself. Yeah.
Tara (17:37.883)
And she was like, ugh.
Yeah
And she’s just like, bleh, in that crowd. That’s still her current profile picture.
AJ (17:51.222)
We, when we were at Disney, we were going to do the train, right? Because we were having a chill day. So we’re like, okay, we’re going to do the train. But at the same time that we were doing a train, the band, you know, cause they have a Disney band, marching band and it marched down the street and it stopped right in front of the train station and was doing this little like, you know, show playing songs and whatnot.
Tara (17:58.856)
Uh-huh.
Tara (18:08.213)
of course. Yes.
AJ (18:21.288)
And we were going up the steps of the train station. look over and there’s like a hundred people pointing their cameras. And Caitlin’s like, my gosh, look, we’re in a hundred people’s pictures. We need to like make faces or like act like tourists and point at things.
Tara (18:38.209)
you
Tara (18:44.842)
like no
AJ (18:44.856)
So anyway, So moving on.
Tara (18:47.617)
That would be Eve’s nightmare.
I just sent you, I sent you Britney’s picture because I, it was right there. I thought it was funny. Anyway. She’s like, this is bullshit. It’s so great.
AJ (18:54.807)
Okay.
You’re like, have to… That is funny. So the next elevator scene is a good one. This is from Origin. At the end when the ICO building was about to blow up and even Roarke were trying to escape with a baby.
Tara (19:17.184)
Yes.
Tara (19:26.539)
So yeah, lots of action. She saw the elevator ahead, its doors shut. Can’t leave them unsecured, Rorik’s voice is labored, and Eve was nearly as horrified when he shoved the baby at her as she was at the countdown. Wasn’t time to augment the security and keep them open. Instead, he swiped a card once, twice, buggering hell, gotten sweaty, bloody too, won’t read.
AJ (19:29.794)
Yeah.
Tara (19:51.989)
He dug out a handkerchief and began to polish it off while under his breath he cursed in Gaelic. Hooked in her arm, the baby screamed as if she were pounding it with hammer. Red line plus 60 seconds. The facility will terminate in three minutes. He swiped the card a third time and they leaped inside. Street level, he shouted, then cursed again when Eve pushed the baby at him. What? You’ve got her? No, you’ve got her. I’m in charge of this op. Screw that. I’m a bloody civilian.
Eve tapped a hand on her weapon. You even try to give it back to me. I’m stunning you. Self-defense. They’re literally about to die. And she’s like, don’t give me that baby. Red line plus 90 seconds. All personnel should be at maximum safe distance. Cutting it close, Eve mumbled as sweat rolled down her back. Is there any other way? This thing could go faster. This son of a bitching thing could really go faster. She gritted her teeth when the warning announced red line plus two minutes.
AJ (20:24.814)
I know, they’re arguing over the baby.
Tara (20:46.741)
We’re still in this when it blows, it’ll take us out, right? Take us out too, right? Likely. She stared at the controls as her wrath, as if her wrath could speed things up. We couldn’t have gotten them out. No matter what we’d done, we couldn’t know. He rested his free hand on her shoulder. You brought that one. So I’d have to leave the rest. So I’d have to go to get her out. So I’d have something tangible to make me move my ass. I also figured you’d be the one holding her on the way out while she’s screaming my eardrums ragged.
Terminate in 30 seconds. If we don’t make it, I love you and blah, blah. He laughed and shifted so his arm wrapped around her shoulders. I’ll say the same. It’s been a hell of a ride so far. When the final countdown commenced, she reached up, gripped his hand. Terminate in 10 seconds. Nine, eight, seven. The doors opened. They flew through them together. She heard the countdown go to three as the door secured behind them.
She snatched her coat from where she tossed it and bolted through the room with him. There was a rumble under her feet, a wave of vibration. She thought of what was below her in tanks and hives. They then pushed it away, shoved it back. Her nightmares would begin soon enough to go back there now.
AJ (22:02.542)
I sure hope that Nadine got all of those details from her and put all of those in the movie.
Tara (22:10.975)
Right? that, listen, we love an action film. Like that is a golden, that is a scene that’s gonna win you a Golden Globe. I’m just saying.
AJ (22:16.035)
Hahaha
AJ (22:23.31)
We’re in Oscar.
Tara (22:25.493)
That’s what I meant, an Oscar. I know so many things about award shows and by that I don’t. I know about the Tony Awards.
AJ (22:27.822)
Well, Oscar and a Golden Globe, who knows?
AJ (22:33.902)
Well, you know, you know that that’s more than I know.
Tara (22:40.125)
I do.
AJ (22:44.314)
all right. So the next elevator scene is not a good one, but I thought I put it in anyway, because it is an elevator encounter. So here we go. It’s from Innocent and Death. He used his office link, told his men that he was leaving for the day and escorting Miss Purcell out of the building. Then he moved to the side of the room, pressed a mechanism concealed in the molding with his thumb. The wall opened into his private elevator.
Tara (22:44.491)
So, yeah.
Tara (22:55.947)
important.
Tara (23:03.617)
.
AJ (23:12.558)
Handy Magdalena laughed as a woman does when she’s fighting to be careless. Gadgets, they were one of your things. I’ve heard your home here is spectacular. We’re very comfortable there. Ground floor he ordered and the elevator slid smoothly down. I’m sure you are. Your wife must enjoy the comfort. Actually it’s taken some adjusting for her.
The warmth shifted over his face and sometimes yet it embarrasses her a little. I’ve heard of an embarrassment of riches, but I can’t imagine being embarrassed by them.
Magdalena money doesn’t mean to her what it does to either of us. Really, she looked up at him liquid eyes. And what does it mean to us? Freedom, of course, and power and that comfort. But under it all, he looked down at her smiled a little. It’s the game, isn’t it? She smiled back her face mirroring regret. We always understood each other that we didn’t know. So I decided to end it there because
Tara (24:22.471)
Yeah. I mean, yeah, I mean, it is it is an encounter on an elevator.
AJ (24:25.036)
We don’t want to hear the rest of that.
AJ (24:30.004)
It is an encounter on an elevator. So there you go. Then there was a big gap in what I could find and what I couldn’t find in the elevator scenes. I’m sure there are elevator scenes in some of these that there’s a gap of, but the next one I saw was echoes.
Tara (24:51.881)
Wow.
AJ (24:53.034)
I know there’s gotta be more elevator scenes and I’m just missing them. But you know, we can always do a second show, I’m sure.
Tara (25:00.491)
That’s true. Well, I can read this one. She rode down on the elevator, ignoring other passengers who screen who screamed buzz. Who see? Wow. Words I am so bad at words today. I’m trying again. I’m so sorry. She rode down on the elevator, ignoring other passengers who seemed buzzed on Oscar talk until one of the women stared at her. The woman’s eyes popped. The woman’s eyes popped.
AJ (25:04.491)
Okay.
AJ (25:15.402)
Hahaha
Tara (25:29.709)
my god, you’re Marlo Dern. No, I’m not. Obviously undeterred, the woman continued to chatter while digging in her rhino sized bag. I’m such a fan. I just have to have a picture with you. I’m not Marlo Dern. Link already in hand, the woman frowned at her. Are you sure? Absolutely. You could be her. You could so be her stand in for the ICO agenda. I mean, you look just like her Eve Dallas character. Are you her stand in? No.
You escaped the elevator, took another town to the garage. It’s such a good one. Oh, my God.
AJ (26:01.292)
Ha ha.
AJ (26:05.944)
But you know how Eve loves people mentioning the ICO agenda.
Tara (26:13.523)
It is so funny like to imagine the, you know, someone, someone like not even, not even like thinking that this could be the person that Marlo Dern played. Like doesn’t even cross their mind, like completely, yeah.
AJ (26:14.944)
Lay down.
AJ (26:30.956)
Well, yeah, it makes sense, though, that people would think it’s this is the Eve Dallas character, not Eve. Like, you know, it’s just a character. Yeah.
Tara (26:38.175)
Yeah. Yeah, like she’s now a character. It’s so fascinating. I love it. yeah. And Eve loves it so much. And by that, I mean, she hates it.
AJ (26:44.023)
Yeah.
AJ (26:49.998)
Yes. So then there’s a couple of scenes in Dark and Death that I saw.
Tara (27:01.55)
a couple.
AJ (27:02.446)
So the first one, she aimed for an elevator jab the call button as she calculated working in a visit to Delano’s ex work or home. The door opened to reveal a pair of uniforms struggling with a guy with mad tufts of hair, unlaced knee boots and a flapping top coat covered in what appeared to be weird symbols drawn on with some sort of metallic marker. He actually had a tin foil. He actually had
tinfoil capped and peaked on his head. They’re coming, he screamed, eyes bulging in Eve’s direction. They eat your brains while you sleep. They look like us, but they’re not. Only the sign of Umberto can protect you. Don’t sleep, don’t sleep. Eve opted for the stairs.
Tara (27:51.679)
actually love to see a character like this guy come back and just be like, Eve trying to figure out what the fuck all of this, like, you know, conspiracy bullshit is with these people in their tinfoil hats and being like, they’re coming. Like, I want to know about the sign of Umberto. I want to know. I like, I don’t really want to know, but I kind of want to know. Like, I mean,
AJ (28:02.711)
Right? Yeah.
Kind of.
Tara (28:17.599)
I think it’d be funny as fuck because you just imagine Eve being like, my god, ugh, this again.
AJ (28:19.969)
Yeah.
AJ (28:23.752)
Hahaha
Tara (28:26.357)
She’ll be wishing for the ICO agenda. She’ll be like, my God, I wish we were still talking about that goddamn movie.
AJ (28:29.314)
Yeah.
Tara (28:36.481)
there’s yeah, so this one’s also from dark. Hold on.
AJ (28:36.526)
Ha
AJ (28:41.4)
So, you wanna read the next one?
Tara (28:52.671)
Okay, also from Dark. As the elevator doors opened, something, some compact missile with arms and legs, launched out. It slammed Peabody on the fly, knocking her back and down. At the same instant, managed to pivot, catch the missile on her shoulder, use its momentum to flip it over. A clatter of footsteps on the iron steps echoed with Peabody’s breathless curse. Eve pivoted again, but wasn’t quite quick enough to avoid one of the limbs afoot.
from glancing off her jaw, another from banging into her ribs before she dropped bodily on the now cackling man, she realized, a very small man with a really long beard. She said, fuck, fuck, fuck me. She held him down, shifting to pull her restraints off her belt. He continued to to cackle, to wriggle as Peabody gained her hands and knees and the thundering footsteps became a pair of breathless uniforms.
AJ (29:37.326)
Ha
Tara (29:50.091)
Little asshole, one of them spewed as Eve finally clamped on the restraints. He just all of a sudden went batshit. Eve sat on the little asshole, eyeing the uniforms balefully. What the fucking fuck? Sir, he came in to report an assault, he said, and we were starting to process when he went batshit. He took off for the elevator like he had wings on his tiny little feet. Eve looked down at the crazed, glassy eyes of a man who looked like a creepy garden gnome.
And neither of you could tell he’s on something that makes him think he can fly. Get him in the tank. He assaulted an officer. Peabody, your status. I’m OK. Wrapped my head pretty good. She reached around, probed it with her fingertips. Ow. Haul his tiny stupid ass up the steps. Eve dragged him up, shoved him at the uniforms. Two counts of assaulting an officer, she said, rubbing her stinging jaw. Find out what he ingested, popped or smoked, for Christ’s sake.
I love you, sweet cheeks. The tiny wriggling man shouted at Eve. Want to kiss your boobies? Yeah, well, I want to kick your tiny ass. We’ll both live with the disappointment. She gripped Peabody’s arm, guided her into the elevator. Boobies, he shouted before the elevator door shut. I’m surrounded by boobies. Do you need medical? I don’t think. Were we just slammed by a giggling bearded dwarf? We were. Then I probably only need an ice pack and a blocker.
AJ (30:53.166)
You
Tara (31:17.931)
Get both. Goddamn world’s full of goddamn crazy people. The elevator doors open. Several people started to get on. Eve snarled. Several people backed off. She repeated the process all the way to homicide, where once again she gripped Peabody’s arm and dragged her into the bullpen. Somebody get Peabody an ice pack and a damn blocker. Baxter swiveled in his chair. You take a hit, Peabody? I got decked by a flying dwarf. I can’t count the times that’s happened to me. But he rose, patted her cheek.
AJ (31:27.758)
You
Tara (31:46.655)
I’ve got you covered. Let’s get you let’s get your coat off, sweetie. Across the bullpen, Santiago pulled open a drawer on his desk, got your blocker, Peabody. Someone else came up with a tube of water and the reliable and earnest tree heart trotted over with an ice pack. Satisfied her partner would live through the morning, he started to turn away and walk to her office. She caught the scent of fat, yeast, sugar, narrowed her eyes as Nadine walked in with a bakery box and with a rock and with a rock star.
The blue line dissolved in the scent of fresh donuts. Nadine wisely pushed the box at Eve and avoided a stampede. Are you all right, Peabody? I got slammed by a flying dwarf, hit my head. A flying dwarf, Nadine repeated with a look of concern at Eve. It happens. What do you want, Nadine? We’re a little busy.
you
AJ (32:40.984)
Hahaha
I like the way that Eve came in. Somebody get, you know, this stuff for PeaBody and everybody was like, we’re all on it. You know?
Tara (32:52.137)
It was so I love that. I love that moment. And that’s just a little like, I don’t know, the whole bullpen being like, we’re taking care of each other. I love that bullpen.
AJ (33:03.638)
yeah. yeah, it’s a nice moment.
Tara (33:08.031)
Yeah.
AJ (33:10.254)
so there is this one from leverage and death that we just talked about in the last episode. So I don’t know if you need to talk about it again. I put it in here, but, it’s just Eve seeing the baby sucking his thumb as to in the elevator, two women come out. so I think we can go on to the next one’s from golden.
Tara (33:16.704)
Yeah.
Tara (33:27.279)
yeah.
Tara (33:40.465)
Gosh, which you know, I haven’t read in forever. So this will be a fun little scene that I forgot about.
AJ (33:44.023)
Yeah.
AJ (33:49.07)
Yeah, so it says, when they got into the elevator for the ride down, Peabody turned Eve. I know one thing for certain about Kozner. What one thing would that be? He’s a lying SOS. yeah, he’s that. And for somebody who’s been a lying SOS most of, if not all of his life, he really sucks at it. Right? That makes two things I know for certain about him.
Eve shifted when the elevator stopped to let more people on. The lying’s autopilot with him and he’s not very skilled. He lies about the obvious and the inconsequential. So by the time he gets to the big stuff, just red faced blather. A woman in a business suit and sunshades glanced at Eve. Sounds like my ex-husband. Some people plan a lie, others she continued as the doors open to let yet more people on.
It’s involuntary, instinct, like breathing. Tell me about it, someone else piped up. I dated this guy once who’d lie if you asked him his name. He just couldn’t help himself. One of the new passengers let out a snort. It’s worse than when they believe the lie, convince themselves it’s true. Keep beating you over the head with it until you start wondering if you’re the one who’s crazy. They all sound like my ex, the first woman commented as the doors opened on the lobby level.
Tara (35:10.923)
Ha ha ha ha ha.
AJ (35:14.444)
He gets around, Eve said, and heard the women laugh as she and Peabody strode to the doors. That was interesting. Peabody decided as they walked back to the car, lying liars unite strangers in elevator, Dateline, New York.
Tara (35:32.021)
so great though. Like, it’s really, that’s a real thing that happens though. People are just like,
You know, like, I could see that happening. I don’t know. I don’t know that I’ve ever, like, had full-on conversations with people in the elevator, like, at work. Well, our elevator, we have three floors, so it doesn’t count. But, like, if I go over to main campus and I see, like, my ENT or whatever, he’s on the seventh floor of eight floors, and there’s all kinds of shit, because it’s, like, this main building. And, like, I… There are people who just interact with each other. They get on or whatever.
AJ (35:52.13)
Yeah.
Tara (36:12.009)
It’s not that long, but still, I don’t know. I like to think of that. I think Peabody’s onto something.
AJ (36:18.818)
Ha ha ha.
So when we, my sister and I went to Las Vegas recently, there was a night when, you know, we had all gone out to dinner and then we had some drinks and whatnot. And then, so my sister and I were going back to our hotel room and we’re waiting in this, you know, hallway where there’s the elevators, several people there waiting for the elevator to come and two guys who were very drunk. Then they start talking about.
Tara (36:31.178)
AJ (36:49.762)
that Michael Jackson show was amazing. Has anybody seen that Michael Jackson show? was amazing. And, you know, and everybody’s like looking at them like, don’t talk to us. Cause they were very, very drunk. And he’s like, yeah, it was so amazing. Y’all should see it. It’s so amazing. For some reason. I don’t know why he looked at me and he was like, have you seen that Michael Jackson show? And I kind of looked at him like, and he’s like, have you seen it?
Tara (37:13.62)
my
AJ (37:16.91)
Do you know what I’m talking about? Where are from? And I was like, California. And he’s like, California. And then the doors open. they start, everybody starts piling in. Next thing I know, my sister’s grabbing me by the back of my shirt and pulling me back. And she’s like, we’re not getting on that elevator. We’ll wait for the next one. And I was like, okay.
Tara (37:42.785)
That’s brilliant.
AJ (37:43.596)
Hahaha
AJ (37:47.597)
You just never know.
Tara (37:47.731)
my god. Yeah.
AJ (37:52.28)
So, lying liars.
Tara (37:53.215)
Lying liars unite strangers in elevator. my God. it’s the next one is in Forgotten in Death. God, I don’t remember. Well, I vaguely remember that. Well, yeah. Forgotten in Death. When the elevator doors open, the stench rolled out ahead of the occupant.
AJ (38:06.221)
Yep.
AJ (38:09.75)
It’s been a while.
Tara (38:19.879)
Eve recognized the undercover illegals detective despite the stringy hair, the scruffy stubble, and the filthy trench over equally filthy baggies. Jesus, Shrewicky, did you bathe and piss? Pretty much, he grinned, showing blackened teeth. Gotta meet with the zoo stealer. Somebody’s added an extra zing to the street sales. He’s my in. Do I look crazy enough for a fix? You smell bad enough. Yeah, but that gets me a private ride down.
He shambled off, leaving the fetid odor lingering in the air. Eve, I the elevator. No, she said, turning on her heel and aimed for the stairs. No. No. That’s a no for me.
AJ (38:55.758)
She’s like, nope.
AJ (39:04.426)
Nope.
AJ (39:12.622)
So this next one is on core. and Peabody are taking Ethan Cromwell. That’s the guy that had been stalking Eliza Lane.
Tara (39:12.9)
my god
Tara (39:17.689)
Ahem.
Tara (39:23.103)
That’s right. Yeah.
AJ (39:24.865)
They arrested him and they took him to Central. He wept all the way to Central. He blubbered on the elevator. Since he’s exhibited violent behavior, she didn’t feel justified in yanking him out and onto the glides. She let him blubber and wail as cops shuffled on, shuffled off. What’s his problem, one asked her. Love, she said. Mad, mad love. It’ll get you every time.
Tara (39:54.177)
scenes are just really great to read out of like out of context as we’re like just having these just a fun little scene.
AJ (39:55.406)
Yeah. Yeah.
Tara (40:08.097)
The next one’s in payback, which again, I’m like what happened in that book?
AJ (40:14.446)
That’s the one with the Webster’s, yeah.
Tara (40:18.261)
The cop, right? Yeah. Okay. You know, that cleared up so much there.
AJ (40:25.858)
Yeah, Webster Sweeney.
Tara (40:28.521)
Yes. So this is payback. The elevator, while currently empty, smelled like fresh urine and old sweat from the puddle that likely contained both. Somebody pulled in a pisser, so saying. Eve turned right around and opted for the stairs. What are you doing? She asked when Peabody worked her link. Reporting it to maintenance. that’s really sweet. They may get around to dealing with it sometime this desk this decade.
I made a contact there. Since when? Eve switched to Glides. When you were on vacation, one of the vending machines malfunctioned, big surprise, and sort of vomited coffee everywhere. I got into a conversation with Hazel, that’s her name, while she was cleaning it up. She’s a big Mavis fan. I got her a disc of a practice session Mavis did in her new studio. Peabody looked over with a smug smile, and Hazel says she’s on it. You bribed her. Kudos. I think of it more as a quid pro quo.
AJ (41:26.894)
I mean, yeah, or a bribe. That’s fine.
Tara (41:30.355)
Right? Listen, it is like, you recognize how nice it is to have a partner that I don’t know is nice to people? She makes friends like she does. She probably does. But Peabody makes friends with people. She thinks of this or that and manages it quietly or not quietly. It’s great.
AJ (41:39.598)
She doesn’t. I’m sure she does. Yeah.
AJ (41:55.074)
Yeah.
Tara (42:00.811)
Thanks, Hazel.
AJ (42:02.164)
Right? Good for you, Hazel. So the next one’s from Random in Death, and this is in random after both Jamie and Quilla had come to Cop Central. They were there together. Yeah. So this is even Peabody and Peabody says, they’re really cute together. In the elevator already squeezed with other cops, Eve turned to Peabody.
Tara (42:18.703)
yeah.
AJ (42:30.434)
Put that in my head and I’ll kill you in your sleep. I don’t sleep at Central. I’ll break into your apartment. McNabb’s right there with me. I’m a cop for Christ’s sake. I’ll kill you quick and quiet, then plant evidence that implicates McNabb. You’ll be dead. He’ll be in a cage for life. It could work, the uniform crowbarred in behind them speculated. Eve said, it will work. And after I allow a single tear to slide poignantly down my cheek,
at her memorial, I’ll go home and drink an entire bottle of celebrational wine and never ever think about what a pair of teenagers are doing with and to each other. I just said cute, Peabody mumbled. Eve swiped a finger across her throat quick and quiet. Our floor, the uniform muscled by her, used a knife out of their kitchen. Of course, who’s cute now, Eve demanded.
Nobody Peabody hugged her elbows. Absolutely nobody will ever be cute again
Tara (43:33.717)
to calm the fuck down. She did just say cute. Like why Eve, you’re one of those people that’s like jumping in where no one asked you to. You did this to yourself.
AJ (43:34.958)
She really does. Sometimes it’s like Eve hits a little bit too much.
AJ (43:43.406)
You
AJ (43:47.181)
Right?
AJ (43:50.616)
Yeah, I mean…
Tara (43:54.11)
Eve.
my god.
The next one is from Passions in Death. I do remember this scene. They cross the garage to the elevators. feels to me like Albright and Hunnicutt worked the same way. So it’s hard to see a member of their tribe having any part in the murder. So you’ve never heard of intertribal warfare or treachery frowning Peabody on the elevator with Eve. OK, point. But wouldn’t it be hard to keep that hidden?
Hidden so well, nobody else in the tribe got a hint. Peabody, if people weren’t at least half decent at wearing masks, we’d never have to investigate a homicide. We’d just scan the tribe, say and point you, you there with the murder face. You’re under arrest. Then the judge and or jury would take one look when he got to trial and it’s murder faces guilty on all counts. Murder face, Peabody speculated as the elevator bumped to a stop.
When the doors open, two uniforms and a guy with clown orange hair, blue baggies and rainbow suspenders and a shirt that said, we stepped on. What’s a murder face look like? Bared teeth, slitty eyes, clown hair turned around, blew a small blue bubble with his gum. Obviously one of Feeney’s Eve thought. Is it a crime of passion or planned? Planned. Ditch the teeth and slitty eyes. You’d go for something like.
Tara (45:28.469)
He had bright green eyes and animated eyes that suddenly went blank. Not flat like a cop’s, Eve noted, but just dead like a shark’s. And she had to admit he pulled it off. Nah, one of the uniforms shook her head as the elevator stopped again and more cops filed on. Me, I’d go for the friendly face. She burst out with a wide smile and eyes just over the edge of crazy. Then it’s, hey pal, right before you shove the knife in their throat.
The other uniform disagreed. Not me. I’d go for the helpless with mild distress. could you give me a hand? can’t quite. Then you bash them over the head. By the time the elevator stopped again, every cop in the car had an opinion of murder face. Eve squeezed out and headed for the glides. Murder face.
AJ (46:12.11)
I mean, I’m sure these cops have seen a lot of murder face, so, you know, they know what they’re talking about, but still.
Tara (46:19.104)
Right?
They’ve definitely seen a lot of Murderface.
AJ (46:28.748)
So this is my last one, unfortunately. This is probably gonna be a very short episode, but…
Tara (46:36.539)
it’s a good episode.
AJ (46:38.638)
This is from Framed in Death. The door’s open. DS Jenkinson and his tie walked on. LT, Peabody? Why, God, why? Too late, Eve slapped a hand over her eyes. In this closed space, it’s burning my corneas. Oh, Lou, with a kind of affection, Jenkinson ran his hand down a-
Tara (46:45.672)
Hahaha!
Tara (46:56.159)
Ha ha ha ha!
AJ (47:05.492)
a tie with a field that spread like a nasty purpling bruise. Over it flowers the color of a concerning urine sample bloomed. It’s real subtle. Yeah, subtle like a pipe wrench slammed repeatedly on the back of the skull. What are you doing here? I had to run down talk to a guy. Carmichael in Santiago caught one about an hour ago. He’s wearing the hat. Are you kidding me? Looks like he bet
Tara (47:30.89)
You
AJ (47:32.12)
Carmichael the Cubs would beat the Mets in Saturday’s game. narrowed her burning eyes. There were lines, hard deep lines not to be crossed.
AJ (47:45.336)
So.
Tara (47:46.181)
sports. I kind of watched sports this weekend. And by that, mean, no, not really. But Natalie was cooking dinner on Sunday and she walked out of the room and sports were on and something happened. Like some team had a penalty or something. She goes, what happened? And I looked up and I kind of was able to tell her that the guy in the blue jersey
AJ (47:48.077)
sports, ball sports.
Did you?
okay.
AJ (48:01.827)
Hmm.
Tara (48:15.221)
got the ball from the guy in the green jersey. She was really proud of me. I know I did sports so well. I know and I was like, Natalie, the sports are really going at it in here. And she’s like, shut up. I was like, why are my friends at sports people? See, we’re so good at sports.
AJ (48:19.978)
Okay, all right. Good job, Tara.
I thought about watching sports the other day. I didn’t though. I know we are really good at sports. When they think about sports. Yeah.
Tara (48:41.087)
Why are we not the first people people think of when they’re like, you know what sports I should talk to AJ and Tara. They will contribute well to that conversation.
AJ (48:54.99)
So yeah, you know, I mean, I’m sure there are tons of other elevator encounters out there.
Tara (48:59.413)
There probably aren’t. It is wild, though, the stuff that the conversations that happen on the elevators and the things that not just the conversations, but the things that happen on the elevators. I feel like Eve has gotten attacked in an elevator another time, but I can’t think of.
AJ (49:06.061)
Mm-hmm.
AJ (49:09.868)
Yeah.
AJ (49:17.186)
Yeah, I’m sure there’s, there’s a ton of, you know, elevator things. if anybody out there can think of other elevator encounters, we will probably do an elevator encounters part two. we are recording a little later than normal, as you can tell, because this is, sit on the couch, time and watch TV. This is, that’s what this is. And she’s going like,
Tara (49:22.027)
Yeah.
Tara (49:28.705)
Yeah, yeah, because there’s definitely more.
Tara (49:35.39)
So.
Tara (49:42.535)
yeah.
AJ (49:45.356)
Why are we not out there sitting on the couch watching TV? This is sit on the couch time. She’s, she’s got, she has got very clear, like she has a routine, a schedule that we have to, you know, stick with. Anyway, should we go into podcast business? Okay.
Tara (49:48.753)
Lily doesn’t understand that she had to deal with she had to wait for the snow
Tara (49:59.248)
yeah.
Tara (50:06.101)
do it.
AJ (50:11.598)
So we do have a new patron or at least it might not be new. Uh, they may be, um, Beverly, think Beverly was a patron and, she now upped. Okay. Or she, she was a patron and then she left and she came back. can’t remember, but I think Beverly was a patron before, but, uh, she just paid for the year. So she is a detective level.
Tara (50:14.68)
Yay!
Tara (50:26.248)
okay.
AJ (50:38.968)
for the year and we really appreciate it. Thank you so much, Beverly. I am working on the new trading cards. So hopefully they’ll be out within the month. We’ll see how that goes. Let’s see.
Tara (50:49.221)
Tara (50:53.249)
exciting.
AJ (50:59.852)
I think we have a voicemail. I think this is new.
Let see if I
hope you all have wonderful holidays this year, this last year, and leading into this year. I just wanted to say that as always, I am truly enjoying this podcast, and I have oddly almost caught up with just the Patreon episodes because when I’m home by myself, I just let it play and then I figure out how many episodes I’ve listened to, pause, and then hop back to the regular feed and connect the dots myself as I go.
It has been amazing listening to y’all talk to guests. Your 100th episode was phenomenal. I loved every minute. And I just wanted to, again, thank you for being so kind to me. I hope you all have a wonderful day. And the next time I call, it will probably be my birthday because I’m gonna have one those very quick. I’m about to be 33.
Tara (51:42.731)
Ha ha.
AJ (52:10.542)
Sorry, one of my cats is nibbling at my feet because he doesn’t like the sound of the dryer shrieking, so I’m trying to get my message wrapped up quickly. Sorry to ramble. Again, AJ, Jen, Tara, I love you guys. You’re great. You’re phenomenal. Thank you for being who you are. Thank you for putting out this podcast and for letting someone like me ramble all up in your voicemail. All right. Thank you so much again. Y’all are wonderful. Podcast is great.
Have a good one.
She used every bit of that time for that. And I love it. Yeah.
Tara (52:46.333)
She did. That’s a skill. Also, I love a ramble because that’s what I’m good at. So.
AJ (52:52.558)
So that was Sky. Sky, she and I have been talking back and forth on our, I think on Instagram. And I knew she was on kind of a tight budget. And so I gifted her six months of the patron. So,
Tara (53:16.289)
AJ (53:19.816)
She has been able, she’s been trying to get through all of the briefing rooms before the six months, you know, winds up. So, so yeah. And, thank you so much for listening to the show and being so nice about your compliments. We really appreciate it.
Tara (53:34.912)
Yeah.
Tara (53:43.041)
I, yeah, I love being complimented, so. Right?
AJ (53:45.486)
We all love being complimented. So, and it was also, so it was her birthday or it’s coming up, but she left this on Friday. So it, and she’s the, my birthday too. that’s a, that’s a line from I Love Lucy. I don’t know if you ever watched I Love Lucy. So there was a,
Tara (54:08.833)
I did, but I don’t know that I remember.
AJ (54:13.396)
situation where Lucy and Ricky and Ethel and Fred were going to Italy. This was after they had their son. And they were going to Italy during a time when their son was going to have his birthday. And Lucy was very sad that they were in Italy and it was her son’s birthday and she couldn’t be there. And she was talking to some of the local kids about how sad she was that, you know, it was her son’s birthday.
And she couldn’t be there. And one of the kids is like, it’s your son’s birthday. She’s on my birthday too. And then, and then every once in a while he would bring like, you know, and she was like, we should have a party for you because it’s your birthday, you know? And then he would go off and he would come back with another kid. She’s the her birthday too. And then she would even go off and find another kid. So anyway, so yeah, my birthday too. And I turned 60. So.
Tara (55:01.555)
That’s great.
Ha ha ha.
Tara (55:10.931)
I know.
AJ (55:11.328)
I’m a tiny bit older than sky is, but, I, was so funny. Cause like, I’m not the type of person that really cares about my age. I don’t freak out about that. Like some, people freak out about their age, you know, I’d never been the person to do that, but, my sister came over and we went out to have a dinner and we were talking about it and.
Tara (55:27.189)
Yeah.
AJ (55:41.038)
She’s like, you’re 60. And I was like, yeah, I can’t believe it. Like it does seem weird because like 59 was okay. Like, yeah, I’m 59. That makes a lot of sense to me. I’m 59. Sure. But when I hit 60 was almost like, that’s not real. 60? Me? No. It’s like a fake age. I’m not 60. So anyway, we were laughing about that.
Tara (56:02.049)
No, that’s not it. No, people don’t turn 60.
AJ (56:10.54)
So yeah, and then we went out and we had a delicious Mexican meal.
Tara (56:15.348)
Love that.
AJ (56:17.418)
So anyway, thanks again, Disguise.
Tara (56:21.973)
Yes, thanks, guy.
AJ (56:23.278)
We also had, I think a message. We had a message on somebody on Patreon, Sally, who is our listener in England, Sally Mitchell. So she commented on our last episode and she’s like, my God.
Tara (56:33.758)
Okay.
AJ (56:50.734)
H.A. experiencing that earthquake was scary. Being a Brit and having never experienced a tremor or earthquake, my mind went straight to those disaster movies like San Andreas. There’s me and Tara worrying and H.A. calmly saying, meh, it was 76 miles away.
Tara (57:05.633)
Hahaha!
AJ (57:11.018)
I you know.
Tara (57:12.99)
But it was, okay, but like, I’m glad I wasn’t, so I went into work the next day and I told everyone about
And I was on the phone with, was in the doorway of Gail’s office. This is what happens as I go to Gail’s office and I check in with her and then I end up standing in her doorway and we are not talking about work. We’re just there. But, you know, she used to be a flight attendant and she was like, she was telling me about, they were in San Francisco for an overnight, you know, between flights and there was, there was an earthquake and she and her roommate.
ran down to the front desk and they’re like, what do we do? Should we be doing something? And they were like, the person at the front desk was like, no, you’re good. She’s like, I’ll never forget that.
AJ (58:04.994)
Yeah, what you should do is not get into the elevator and go down to the lobby or even run down steps.
Tara (58:09.289)
wrong, you know, they’re like 23 years old. But she’s just she was just like, we didn’t we just like didn’t know how to handle that, you know. Because they were from the east side of the country. Yeah.
AJ (58:20.556)
Yeah, yeah, it’s it is scary if it’s your first time. Yeah. If it’s your first time, I think I’ve told the story on the show before, but I had a friend of mine that I worked with and she had newly moved to this country from the Czech Republic and she had been in the country about a year or so when I worked with her.
And we were just there working. this particular place that I worked was on the second floor of a building and a not very great building. So it was very shaky. And so we were just working and an earthquake happened. It was a pretty good one, probably same as what you saw, maybe a little bit, a little bit more shaky. And that started shaking. And my friend, Misha.
Tara (59:08.613)
huh.
AJ (59:15.598)
hopped up from her chair, she hopped up from her chair and she went, mommy, and she ran out the door and down to the street. And myself and the other woman that worked with us just kind of looked at each other. Like, yeah, that was a good one. Yeah. So.
Tara (59:38.273)
And you’re just like, that was, was.
AJ (59:43.52)
You know, you get used to it in California. yeah, I mean, there’s some that are worse than others and knock things over. And you do really have to be careful, especially in California after, you know, fires and rains and stuff, because they can trigger, you know, mudslides or, you know, the five freeway that runs up the coast of California is constantly being
closed down because there was a rock slide or something like that. will, it’ll just rocks will just fall across this freeway, you know? So that’s the thing that you have to worry about when you’re, you know, in California in a, in an earthquake. And some places are different than others because if you’re closer to a fault line, then obviously you get it more and it’s stronger.
Tara (01:00:20.21)
terrifying.
AJ (01:00:40.13)
The where I live is kind of in the middle of a bunch of fault lines. So we get a lot, because of where we are, they’re not as strong as other places. Anywho. Yeah.
Tara (01:00:53.245)
Yeah.
AJ (01:00:58.796)
So, but yeah, I think that’s all the podcast business I have too. So yeah, this is a very short episode, but you know, it’s fine.
Tara (01:01:04.106)
That’s fun though.
Tara (01:01:08.063)
I mean, it’s not that short compared to our other episodes, it’s short.
AJ (01:01:13.738)
Yes. So next week is going to be we review the reviews of the last book we read leverage. So, so that should be fun.
Tara (01:01:23.519)

AJ (01:01:29.516)

Tara (01:01:30.881)

AJ (01:01:40.372)

Tara (01:01:42.547)

AJ (01:01:53.85)

AJ (01:02:01.196)

Tara (01:02:09.461)
Well, the first chapter was a fun time.
AJ (01:02:11.942)
Okay, well, looking forward to it. That’s another one of, I do not. This is another one where I probably just read it once and that was it. So yeah, it’ll be fun. Okay, so I guess that’s it for this episode of Podcasts on Death. If you have any ideas for an episode, if there are elevator moments that are your favorite moments that we forgot,
