(Nicole laughs) I'm gonna be excited about it. (laughs

) - Okay, I like that. I like faux excitement. - It just feel so basic. But what we're gonna include in this podcast will be worthwhile. - And as we get deeper, as we go into it more, maybe there will be cast on it, and it will actually be ReactCAST. Uh-oh! - With, oh. - What happened? - Nothing. - No, she just got it. - I got it. - And we have a theme song! - So... - Don't we have a theme song? - You guys suck. - We totally have a theme song, and I think that... - They said, you have it? - Yea

an, look. We got Kevin Plachy on the ones and twos. - ♪ What's up ♪ - We got Nicole. - Hi. - PvF and fearless leader of all things REACT, and myself, Joe, and we've heard from you guys you'd like a podcast. Nicole's had it on a bucket list for a very long time, but this is gonna be kind of a forum for all things REACT, eventually. We're gonna figure it out as we go, but, you know, starting with me and Nicole right now, and Kevin. - (Plachy) Yeah! - And then we'll bring other producers in to hang

out. - And there's just, there's so much else that happens outside of all of the content that we're already putting onto the channel, and we have so much weird information in our brains that we don't know what to do with, so we figured this would be a good forum and outlet to be able to share our weird with you. - Yeah, let's obliterate that fourth wall a little bit. - (Nicole) Mm-hmm. - Show what's happening back here. We can elaborate further on videos in the week, et cetera, et cetera. Once

we really get like going, and this is like an up to date thing that's constant, we can react on the week itself. - (Plachy) Oh! - Also, we can answer all of your questions. - That's fun. - I'm sure you have lots of burning question. - Ooh, Q and A, baby. - Mm-hmm. - (Plachy) Q and As for sure. - Oh, will we ever finally do a Generations React to Cats In The Cradle? (Joe laughs) - (Plachy) Woah! - What if I just said yes, but I'm not gonna give a timeline? (Nicole gasps) (Plachy laughs) - Yes.

(both laugh) Yes. - It's happening! - Yep! - You know it's gonna happen now. - Oh man! - Sometime. - Sometime. - Coffee, coffee, coffee! - (Plachy) Oh, Joe got his coffee. - Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. - (Plachy) You know what is weird? I'll tell you this. - Water, I've got wine. - She got water. I'm in a weird position here, and let me tell you why. - Please. - (Plachy) You two... - Mm-hmm. - Are the bosses, okay? And well, okay. You're the boss of most people here, Nicole. - N

o, no, there is definitely a CEO. We have bosses. - There is definitely, I know you have bosses, but what I'm saying is... - There are higher ups that we get to blame for everything. - I am having, I feel like, and this is, of course, my own self-inflicted thing that's happening, but I feel like I'm having to, you are judging me extra. - Oh, we're always judging you. - That's what, I know, but this feels like it's like a microscope. - We judge everyone though. - I'm sure, I'm sure. You gotta, it

's your job. - It's our job, yeah! - It is one thing, yeah, to have to craft a new thing, but then also have to be part of it in real time. - And yeah, get your guys' reactions. - Ooh, yeah. - (Plachy) To what's happening. - Ooh. - We're gonna adjudicate him the whole time. - Oh yeah. - And then live on the podcast, we will give him a review. - Yeah. - (Plachy) Yeah! - You like that? - I like that. - (Plachy) Let's do it! - Okay, great. - A little behind the scenes of what we do here. Every vide

o, we bust through after our producer's done, and then we just break it down really fast in five minutes at 10 hundred decibels constantly. - (Plachy) Ooh. - 10 hundred is what I said. - Ooh. - (Plachy) 10 hundred. (laughs) - What number is that, Kevin? - Uh, that would be 1,010. (both laugh) - That's a lot of miles. - (Plachy) It's 1,010. - Nobody's worth that. - (Plachy) Aww. - I'm not worth that, Joe? - I'm not gonna walk that far for you, I'm sorry. - Aww. - That's so far. - Now I know our

relationship, how deep it goes. - I have a first question here that I really liked. - (Joe) Okay. - That was based on wanting to kinda get to know you guys in the quickest way possible. - Okay. - Okay. - Is there something about you that you think people assume because of your appearance or demeanor? - Oh weird. - Meaning somebody sees you, and you think they're thinking something about you, just because of the way you look. - I mean, the honest answer to that question is why do you hate me? Why

do you hate me? Please don't hate me! What can I do for you to like me, please like me! Please, and then I'll run away. - I mean, I'm similar. That's where we share, yeah. - I... - Oh, go ahead. - Oh, I was gonna say. I have the opposite of resting bitch face. I generally just smile at everybody that I see, so then everybody talks to me, no matter, like even when I'm having like a really shitty day, and I don't wanna talk to anyone, like, I just, I can't help it. - Weird, yeah! - Yeah. - I've

noticed it already, even when you're just like working on your laptop, or having to do like, research for something, it's just a little smile. - Yeah. - She just looks like this. - (Plachy) Yeah, yeah. - Yeah, but I'll be like out at places, and like I would con, like, not to like, when I would be at bars, I would just be smiling at everybody, and then everyone would come over, I'm like no, no, no. I don't actually want to talk to you. - I was gonna say, that's what that makes you, is the person

that everybody can talk to. - This humble brag. I'm done with this humble brag. (group laughs) Ooh, this thing that's wrong with me makes people come up to me and love me! If I'm at a bar, everything's free! I haven't paid for anything at a restaurant forever, 'cause I have resting non-bitch face! - (Plachy) Damn! No, that's bad. - No, that's probably, it's probably hell at times, like you said. - Well, but also... - Leave me alone! - Also, we do a lot of true crime stuff on the channel, and

everyone's always like why is Nicole smiling when she's talking about all of these terrible murders and crimes? - (both) Yeah. - Like, I'm sorry, that's just me. - You do present things in a very macabre, like, sociopathic way. - (Nicole) Yeah. - Yeah, you're right, yeah. - Which is what we wanna talk about on this episode. - Ooh! - (Plachy) Is true crime. - Ooh! - (Plachy) And everything around true crime. - (Joe) Okay. - Okay. - My first question is a simple one, and it's have you guys committ

ed crimes? - Yes. I have committed crimes. Have you committed crimes? - I mean probably. - Probably? - Probably? - Yeah? - You don't have like an answer? - Well, I mean, I don't know. - Have you been caught committing a crime? - Do speeding tickets count? - Yeah. - (Plachy) Yeah. - 'Cause I definitely have a few of those. - Yeah, but did you smile and get out of it? - No, I didn't. I definitely did not, 'cause I was going really fast. - How fast were you going? - No, I don't wanna talk about it

. - No, you have to! - No! - You're on the ReactCAST, there's no rules! - (Plachy) Yeah! - Oh man, well okay, listen, I had a sports car, and I was in... (Plachy gasps) I was in, wait, what's the state, Utah, where the speed limit is really high. - (Joe) Okay. - (Plachy) Is it like a 75 or 80 type of... - It was like an 80! - (Plachy) Okay. - The beehive state, in some parts of the beehive state. There's like posted... - (Plachy) I didn't know this. - Yeah. - I was like in the middle of absolute

ly nowhere, very much cruising in the three digits. - Woah! - (Plachy) Oh! - You're a three digit girl? - So there wasn't really, like, they lessened it a little bit, but like, I couldn't talk my way out of that one. - Where they did the thing, they were like we're gonna say it was 98. - (Nicole) Yeah. - Okay. - But like, it was still a pretty bad one. - Wow. - So that brings me to a question too, that I've always had, 'cause when I see 80 on my speedometer. - (Nicole) Mm-hmm? - I'm like let's n

ot push this. Let's chill out a little bit. I do hit like 85. I've gone to 90. - Ooh, you monster. You speed monster. - But 80 is my limit. Like, that's where I would stop. Is that similar for you guys? What's your limit? - It depends on where we're driving. - And depends on probably if kids are in the car. (laughs) - Dude. - (Plachy) Maybe? - Yes, no, there is a very real like two sides of the coin when it comes to how I drive with my kids, and how I drive without my kids. My kids bully me beca

use I drive so cautiously with them in the car. - Aww. - They like, they're constantly calling me out, like you could've went dad, you could've went through that. While if I did, the t-bone would've hit my daughter right in the side. (Nicole laughs) I'm like you would've died! And like maybe I should've done that, because you're lipping off right now! (both laugh) - (Plachy) Hold on. - Maybe if there's a world where there's a second chance, and you can murder your kids once just to teach 'em a l

esson. - Ooh. - But then they come back and they're fine, maybe that would be okay. - (Plachy) Reel it in. (group laughs) - (Plachy) Uh-oh. - Uh-oh. - I just wanna teach her a lesson. - Well, it is, I think it is. She's a good, she's doing it. - No, but when I'm by myself, more chances, for sure. - Are you getting up to like 85, 90? - In L.A... - It's impossible, right? - Mmm. - On the freeway, I have a, 'cause it's like what, 65, 70 posted on the freeway? - (Plachy) Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. - Yo

u're allowed to go 80, 85, and it's like, nobody bats an eye. - I agree. - (Joe) And that seems to be like... - Can you tell my mom that, please? (group laughs) - Oh does she rag on you? - Oh yeah. If I hit 70, slow down, slow down! - Oh no. - (laughs) I know dude. - Your mom's 93? (group laughs) - Hey, no, she'll listen to this one. - Hi mom. - Hi mom. - What about you, Nicole? - Yeah. You're a speeder? - No, not uh... - (Plachy) Please. - I'm not, not as much anymore, because my husband told

me to stop. - Oh! - (Plachy) Okay, there you go. - You got chastised too! - (Plachy) Yeah! - Well, yeah, that was a bad speeding ticket. - Okay, yeah, how much was it? - It was a lot. - Oh, you can say, say the number. - I don't remember, but it was a lot. - (Joe) $200. - And it stayed on my record for five years. - (Plachy) Oh no, I bet it would be more than that. - $300? - (Plachy) Right? - The bigger implication is that it raised my insurance for five years. - (Plachy) Yeah, yep. - Ugh. - So

that was not great. - Okay. - But like, I grew up in L.A. when Fast and the Furious came out. Like I had neon lights in the interior and under my car. - This is blowing my mind. - And I like, my commute was over Laurel Canyon to Mulholland to Coldwater, which are just like canyons, and I would swim practice at 5 a.m., so I would like take those curves at like the top speed I possibly could. - Are you pumping Natalie Imbruglia? - Oh yeah, no, no, Matrix soundtrack! - (Joe) Oh! - The Matrix soun

dtrack was the best soundtrack to drive to. - This is amazing to me, 'cause this is like, I just, I would've never pictured that, at all! - (Joe) Yeah, there's some devil horns under there. - Oh. - (Plachy) I know. - Yeah, but he told me to stop, so I've behaved. - Okay, alright. - (Plachy) I love that. - Also, like, not, like... I was a spoiled kid. I wanted my dad's old Honda Civic, mostly because I wanted to make a little rice rocket, and like paint it and trick it out. - Can we say rice rock

et? Is that okay? - I can say rice rocket. - (Plachy) She did, yeah. - Okay, can I say that? - (both) No! - Okay, delete when I said rice rocket. - (Plachy) Okay, okay, I will. - And I'm spoiled, and my parents said absolutely not, you're an only child, we're putting you in as big of a little tank as we possibly can, but they got me an A6. - Okay, is that fast? I don't know. - Yeah. - I'm not a car guy. - It's a nice sports car. - Yeah? - Yeah, that thing had a very nice engine, that... - (Joe)

Okay. - Did very well at hugging those tight turns. - Listen to her! - German-made car. - (Plachy) This is, I love this. - I don't know what they wanted me to do! - Can you say that slower, and like you're in a sexy commercial talking about a car? Hugging those tight turns. - Well, if we wanna talk about weird stories, I got a letter in the mail that said hey, we noticed that you bought a car recently, do you have a valid passport? Would you like to be part of a research study? Can you fly to G

ermany on Friday? - (Plachy) Oh my gosh. - Ooh, no, no, no, no. That's a kidnap sex thing. - I said yes. - What!? - I mean, to, yeah, further what this is, what was your reasoning for saying yes? - Did you just watch Yes Man, and you're like my life is changed! - It was a market research company, I figured, I did a little research. My parents said hey, if you go, you have a credit card, if anything is fishy, you run, and just like buy your own plane ticket home, and figure everything out. - How

old were you? - I was in, I was like 22, 23. - Okay, not a baby, not a baby. - Not a baby, yeah. - (Plachy) Yeah. - Okay, alright. - And it was a delightful 48 hour trip to Berlin to go test drive Audis. - Okay, that's pretty cool. - (Plachy) This is amazing! - But when did the sex kidnapping stuff happen? - No, and well, we have a Facebook group called I didn't lose my kidney in Germany. - (laughs) You actually have a Facebook. - (Nicole) Yeah. - You're not even lying, that's... - No, I'm not,

and... (group laughs) - I just say stupid things that sound dumb. Nicole has just actually done them. - (Plachy) Yeah. - I have a good friend that I made on that trip, who I still talk to to this day. - Dang, okay. - (Nicole) Yeah. - Wow, old, so you've said that before. You do a lot of market research things. - I do. They're fascinating! Like why would you not say yes to going into a room, talking about your opinions, and then getting paid money? - I was gonna say, you're paid for all that, ri

ght? - Uh-huh! - (Plachy) Oh yeah. - So I think I got paid like $600, plus we got a stipend, plus we got a free trip to Berlin, where like they put us up, they took us out to dinner, they took to exotic car museums. - (Plachy) Wow. - And we got to like go on a test track, and drive what became the electric Audi. - And this showed up in the mail? - And it showed up in the mail. - (Plachy) Okay. (laughs) - Wow. - Yeah. - (Plachy) Damn. - You know that earlier question, when you were like what do

people assume about you by your looks? - This is exactly what I was gonna get to, yeah. - People think I'm, I guess a guy's guy sometimes, and in some ways, maybe I am, but like, I don't know crap about cars. - (Plachy) Yeah, I would... - Horses scare me. (both laugh) - Yeah, you're definitely like, the first time I was getting to know you, I thought you were much more manlier than you are. - I appreciate that. - (Plachy) Yeah. (both laugh) - Wow! - (Plachy) But that's a compliment. - No no, w

hat else makes me beta, baby? Let me know. Let me know in the comments. - The dancing. - Hey! - Yeah! - I dance with an alpha male's awkwardness, come on now. - His dancing is beautiful. - Just a slight lack of rhythm. But if you were to look at this table, at this podcast, you'd go who knows cars? You'd probably ugh, but Nicole knows a lot! - (Plachy) I know, not at all. - I don't know that I know a lot. - More than me. - I just like driving fast cars. (Joe laughs) That's about it. - That's sti

ll more manly than me. - (Plachy) Yeah, yeah. - 'Cause it doesn't do anything for me. There's people that see cars, and they borderline get like arousal from it, and I'm like I don't care, just give me the grocery getter, I'll drive the grocery getter, please. - Yeah, I get you. - Wait, have you committed any crimes? - Yeah! You can't just do that. - You can't ask the question and not answer it. - So I have, as a kid, shoplifted. - Yeah, I did that too. - See, okay, like that little stuff. - H

ow guilty did you feel, and for how long? - Okay, so... (Joe laughs) I had a really great friend group in middle school, and like, well, throughout elementary school and middle school, then it started to come into high school, but I met other people in high school, and those other people were not the best brand of people. - (both) Oh. - Okay. - So, started hanging out with them, but was having so much fun, they got into like weed, all that stuff, and then took me along for their adventures, wher

e we would take like... - Okay, okay. - (Plachy) But it was like candy and stuff. - Adventures, I love it. - (Plachy) Oh yeah, that's what it felt like! - Yeah. - A little Goonies. So you were originally part of like, the Rambunctious Six gang. - (Plachy) Yep. - And then you joined the Little [censored]. - (Plachy) There you go. - Oh. - There you go. It led to like, we would get chased by like big guys, because we were being such idiots to other people and everything. It was a scary little two

year splint in my life. - Oh. - Wow! - Oh. - (Plachy) I know. - Wow, your fork in the road! - (Plachy) But I mean... - You kinda, you flirted with the other side. - I did, I did, and I, yeah. It was alright. - What was it like to kill a man, Kevin? (group laughs) - Let's not go there. (both laugh) But Nicole... - Oh. - You have like, you've been talking about it, since we've started talking about this podcast. - (Nicole) Uh-huh. - True crime is like your love, right? - I do. Listen, I think act

ually, all women secretly love true crime. - (Plachy) Okay. - And this is like a common thing. - (Plachy) So I need to figure this out. - Why, is it just, why? Why? I need to know why? - (Plachy) Thank you. - There's something about, like, a lot of times in society, I feel like women are always put in that victim place, that they like to A, hear other stories, especially about strong women, who are able to like survive and escape, and get out of those things. - Okay, I understand that. - Plus th

ey also, it's important, and it's good for them to know and be curious about the like tortured, psychological, like crazy minds of what people out there are capable of, to make them feel safer and more secure about the situations that they're in in their lives. - Oh, okay, so by comparison, grass is always bloodier on the other side. - (Plachy) Interesting, okay. Comparison. - But that doesn't account for my opinion. - 'Cause I, the fascination with true crime, I understand... - (Nicole) Mm-hmm

. - But I don't, but I also like, there's an empathy side of me that doesn't get it. So what you're saying makes sense, like, from a female point of view, stories of overcoming [censored] people. - (Plachy) Right. - But then there's the other side, where I would contend, and I don't got the statistics in front of me, Kevin, maybe Google it. (Nicole laughs) Like, I would contend that the female audience is also the main audience for like serial killer love. - (Plachy) Oh. - Ooh, yeah. - They al

so jump in... - 'Cause there's... - There's nothing like female empowerment about that. That's a dude that killed 17 people horribly, maybe got caught, but like, it's just a wake of tragedy and hurt, and then it gets to the point where they become borderline superstars. - But a lot of serial killers are secretly sexy. - See, that's the problem! - (Plachy) This is where, yeah! Why, why!? - Okay, but to be a serial killer, to be a good serial killer, you have to be able to lure your victims, which

means that you have a certain aura, or a certain presence, or a certain confidence, something that's able to attract your victims in, and like, confidence is sexy. Confidence is always sexy. - What is happening? - (Plachy) Yeah. - Confidence is, yeah, that's... - Look, Raven's on, Raven's here. - (Plachy) Raven's here. - Our social awesome producer, Raven. Are you fascinated with true crime? - (Raven) Yeah, but I don't have a very elegant response like Nicole does. I don't know where it comes

from, I just love it. - Do you have a boner for Ted Bundy? - (Raven) No. - Thank you. - He is a good looking man though. - No! What about Richard Ramirez? - I actually don't know who that is. - Yes you do, the Night Stalker? - (Plachy) I don't think I've heard of that. - Yes you do! - Oh, the Night Stalker. - (Plachy) Oh, we only know his stage name. - Yeah, flat long hair, American Horror Story really gave him a bunch of storylines. No? - I don't watch American Horror Story. I like true crime,

I can't stand horror. - Okay, alright, so. - There's something about like real that's okay, but like I don't do like fantasy, and I definitely don't do like boo haha. - (Plachy) Okay. - Boo haha. (laughs) - (both) Boo haha! - Boo haha! That's the new theme song. (Nicole laughs) ♪ Boo haha ♪ ♪ Boo haha ♪ Do you like true crime, Kevin? - I, so I never did, and then, like, meeting my girlfriend, we started watching stuff together, and then I slowly got into it a little bit more. I wouldn't say I'

m like hardcore, but I have listened to quite a bit now of podcasts, YouTube videos all about true crime. - It's the why, like, it's ask, it's the inquisitive question of what motivates someone, why they do what they do, and trying to understand the psychology of it. - (Plachy) The psychology. - Like that's the catnip hook. - You're trying to put yourself into their perspective, and be like how could I actually do something like this? And also, you're learning about a very scary possible thing

that's happened, but you're getting to experience that in a safe environment. - So it's like a spooky house, but with murder. - Yeah? - It's like a ebook, but for murder. - (Plachy) For murder. - Look, I'm gonna take some notes here real quick. - Okay, so confidence is sexy. - (Plachy) (laughs) I don't... - If marriage is on rocks... - Is this the best thing for him to be taking notes on? - I don't know. (laughs) - Murder neighbor, Murder other neighbor. - (Plachy) Okay. - But never the dog. - M

urder, never dog, wife will love me if I kill more, but do it with confidence, don't awkwardly dance anymore, said Kevin, Kevin hates dancing. Okay, I'm good. - Please dance, continue dancing. - So here's my thing with true crime, right? - Yeah, I had this written, because you, I remember we were talking about it, and you were saying I don't get it. I do not get it. - So I don't get it to the level of sexual fantasy. - I didn't say sexual fantasy, let's just, wait, wait. I definitely did not. -

But it gets there for a lot of people. - Mm. - For sure, it really does. I mean, that's why serial killers get weirdo frickin' girlfriends that start as pen pals, right? - (Nicole) Right. - Impregnate me! With a knife! (laughs) So, I don't quite get that. I do understand like the natural human connection, in the narrative that is inherent. It's like a good movie at the end of the day, but it's with real people. The real people aspect of it, as I've gotten older, and maybe because I've become a

father, and now we're at the age where we're starting to lose people, et cetera, et cetera. I empathize so much with the families that are getting the echoes and the reverberations of their loved ones that were killed, and then, so there's that, they have to go through that tragedy. Now imagine anybody connected to a Dahmer crime right now. Anybody. Dahmer's face is everywhere. People are idolizing Dahmer. People are replaying the murders of your loved one, and it's become pop culture, 20-30 y

ears after you already handled that shit with your therapist. And now you're in the line at the grocery store, and my daughter is behind you, who's 16, and she goes, I really just love Evan Peters, and then you hear me go, even as Dahmer? Yeah. (Plachy laughs) So like, that's where my empathy side comes with it. It's like, I feel bad for all those people that have to keep reliving that. - Yeah. - You know? - Now we're gonna think of that story every time we get all excited to listen to a true cr

ime podcast. You ruined it. - Good, I ruined it. You're welcome. (group laughs) Nah, she's still all randied up. - So Nicole, do you have a favorite? - I do. - (Plachy) And you did say that you did, and I hadn't heard of this, so I'd love to hear about it. - I do, Belle Gunness is... - (Plachy) Belle Gunness. - I'm probably gonna screw up this story. - (Plachy) Do your best. - So we're gonna treat it as like, MFM when I talk about these things. The facts are probably gonna be a little screwy, ju

st full disclosure, but I did hear this story about this woman. I think it's from like the 1800s. It's like a very... - (Plachy) Woah. - Yeah, she's on record, probably one of the deadliest female serial killers who was never caught. - (Plachy) Ooh. - Confidence, mystery. - Confidence. She immigrated to the United States, and I think had sort of like a mail order, I wanna say she was like from Hungary, like Hungarian husband. - (Plachy) Okay. - Came over, things were going well, he took out an

insurance policy on their business. They had some sort of business. - (Joe) Okay. - (Plachy) Yeah. - Business burns to the ground, they get the insurance money. - Oh. - She goes... - (Plachy) Got it. - What happened? - Oh, insurance money. - (Plachy) Hmm. - She took one out on the hubby? - Yes. - Yeah, bold move! - They had a bunch of kids, she took the money from her husband's untimely demise and bought a farm in Indiana. - Which is like buying a sports car these days. (laughs) - (Plachy) Yeah

. - Moves to this farm with her family, and then proceeds to figure out how she can still attract new people. She puts ads in the newspaper basically saying listen, I am an unwed single woman with this large estate, I need a spouse. - This sounds like my favorite Dear Penthouse. (both laugh) - Men, a lot of eastern European men would reply to her ads and say oh, I am interested in this. She would ask a whole bunch of questions like do you have any family here, do you have any connection? - I'm i

nterested in farm and also woman make love. - Exactly. And so she would say to them okay, great, you don't have any connections, well take all of that money, cash it out, sew it into your underwear, and come to my farm in Indiana. They would show up to the farm, she would then murder them. - (Plachy) Yeah. - Take all of their money, but because they hadn't told anyone where they going, nobody really knew what was happening. These just men were disappearing. - (Joe) Oh. - And they were young men

who had just immigrated here who didn't really have any connections in the states yet. - So no, yeah, there's no records, and she's getting that undie money. - And she's getting all that undie money. And as it's going, she hit the point where like, I think they discovered at least 14, if not 50 murders that she committed. - Where was it, was she burying them at the farm? - She was burying them in the farm. - (Plachy) Okay. - She used her lover/farm hand to help her bury all of these bodies arou

nd the farm, and then at some point, oh, that was it. She, one of the guys that came out had said that he didn't know anyone, but actually had like a sister or a relative, or someone who he told - (Plachy) Wow! - Ooh, somebody had a connection! - (Plachy) Yeah. - Had a connection, that he was coming, and then when he mysteriously disappeared, they started to investigate what was happening. - (Plachy) Okay. - As she felt them closing in on her, she staged a giant fire at the house, and after the

fire cleared, they found all of her children who had died in the fire, she killed all of her family. - Man. - (Plachy) Okay. - She killed her lover, and then they found a decapitated female body that sort of fit her description. - (Plachy) Okay. - But also weird, like why would she be decapitated? - (Plachy) Yes. - Like when I go, I'm gonna decapitate myself. - And everything was burned off, so there was no way to properly, like actually identify. - We ain't got science back then. - Yeah! - S

cience wasn't invented until like 1935. - Yeah, you could've gotten away with... - (both) So much. - So much, what a dream. (Joe laughs) - And then, I just, I can't remember exactly what happened, there were some other accounts of like other people encountering Belle Gunness, like down the road, and she just evaporated into the mist and was never caught. - Yeah, they assumed that this decapitated body was her, and that was what like the record showed essentially. - (Nicole) Yes. - But it wasn't

ever fully able to be proven. - Oh. - (Plachy) Damn. - Fully able to be proven. - (Plachy) Damn. - Wow, wow! - So boss bitch. - Yeah, boss bitch for sure. And also, if she's still out there... (laughs) - Call me? - I've only said nice things. Yeah, call me. I got some undie money for you. It's a little wet. - How is that not a cool story? - (Plachy) That's amazing. - It's, that's, okay, yeah. It's amazing, it's a super cool story, it's super interesting. It's the type of stuff that it was writte

n on the page, like Se7en, like the movie. - Mm-hmm. - (Plachy) Totally. - Great! - Mm-hmm. - I mean, you've heard of Albert Fish, right? - That sounds familiar. - (Plachy) No. - Albert Fish, I don't even wanna get into it too much, but it's, he's so evil that when you read his story, it doesn't leave the folds of your brain. - (Nicole) Ooh. - Just an evil, gross, [censored] child eating mother [censored]. - Oh. - From like the 1800s. That like sent a letter to the parents, and was like your ki

d was delicious. - (gasps) Oh I do remember this story. - Like crazy stuff. - (Plachy) Woah! - I've heard this. - Dude, you read the Wikipedia, and you're just, you're not gonna sleep for a little bit. But that's the type of stuff that like, you know, I do get fascinated. - (Plachy) That's another level. - I do get fascinated. - (Plachy) Everybody gets fascinated though. - Everybody gets fascinated. I think, we have, I don't know, I feel like there's probably a study out there somewhere that wom

en are able to disassociate a little bit better. - (Plachy) Ooh. - Yeah? - 'Cause like, I can read and see all of these things, and like yes, they are traumatizing, and yes, I will think about them, but like, they don't sit in me the same way. - You can compartmentalize. - I can compartmentalize that information. - (Plachy) I could probably bet on that too. - (both) Yeah. - I think my kids ruined me. (group laughs) - (Plachy) In more ways than one. - Don't worry, they'll never listen to this. -

Oh man. (both laugh) - But yeah, the morbid curiosity is something that fascinates me as well. - (Joe) Mm-hmm. - Because it comes when it's like, you see an image or something that's blurred on the internet, and there's such an urge to want to click that blurred image. - That bait? - Yeah. - (Plachy) That bait, exactly. - Yeah, that bait, get that bait. - Right. Let's end this on a hypothetical. - (both) Okay. - And I love this hypothetical. This has been a hypothetical that's ran in my family

. This is a... - Is this a Plachy special? - Passed down hypothetical. (both laugh) - I like it! - But I'm sure it's been told by many people. (laughs) - Wait, did you steal this hypothetical, as a family, from the Johnsons? - What's your ultimate plan to get away from the cops in a high speed chase? (Joe gasps) Let's say you're able to pick any location to start, you get to plan the whole thing, but you gotta get away. So how are you getting away? - Okay, so the hypothetical has a bunch of hyp

otheticals in it anyways. I get to choose why I'm in a high speed chase. - (Plachy) Oh yeah. - What have I done prior to be within said high speed chase? - (Plachy) Right. - Do you have an answer yet? - No, I definitely do not have an answer. - (Plachy) She needs time. - But I do wanna share one silly story. - (Plachy) Oh yeah. - Because this has been my favorite, just in terms of weird sequences of events. - My husband has a thing with one of his best friends where every time something bad happ

ens to his friend, something strange happens to Kale. - Okay. - (Plachy) And Kale is your husband? - Kale's my husband, yes. Like the vegetable. - (Plachy) Okay. - But he's not a vegetable. - But he's, eh, no. Very leafy though. His friend got into a car accident, not great. Something, I think something fell off and like hit his car, and it was really bad. Kale, then, was driving down the highway, and a truck opened, and a whole bunch of roller skates came out onto the highway. - (Plachy) What t

he hell? - You could've given me 1,000 guesses to what fell out. - (Plachy) What? - 1,000, and I don't think I would've ever said roller skates. - Another time, some guy, a truck, a potato, a bag of potatoes had fallen off of the truck, and they had fallen under the truck, and something hit it, where it basically made a potato gun coming out of the back of the truck, and fired potatoes at his car. - Pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft! - And like, broke his windshield, it wasn't great. - (Plachy)

Yeah! - Woah! - But like, got hit with potatoes. - Two cool stories, there's gotta be a third. It comes in threes. - And then the last one was... I mean, this wasn't great, like he was driving, and a guy who was on many drugs like ran out in front of his car, and like he hit him, and he was like oh my God! The guy jumps up, like does a silly dance. (Joe grumbles) Exactly! And then just takes his clothes off and runs away. - Ooh, gave him a show! - (Plachy) Yeah. - And Kale's like trying to cha

se him down, to be like are you okay? He called the cops. He like did all the things to like file the report. He was like I am so sorry, like, I don't know what happened, he jumped out of nowhere, and like, they never found the guy. - Okay, so there's only one thing that Russia does better. (both laugh) There's one thing. - (Plachy) Say it. - Eastern Europe, in general. They record everything on their dash cams. - Dude, everything! - Mmm! - We don't do it here! He missed it because he's not Rus

sian! (group laughs) Could you imagine that video? - (Plachy) Wow! - Ugh, man, that's so good. - Everything, there's meteors, you see everything just through a Russian dash cam. - But yeah, the roller skates was a really... - That's amazing. - (Plachy) That's insane. - And also, crazy dangerous. - Yes, no. That was not, like, that's a crazy thing to happen on the highway, and have them all like skating around the... - That's like your husband, your husband should've died, like 40 years ago, and

but the death that is associated with him, like the death spirit that's chasing him down, is just really bad and lazy at the Final Destination [censored]. - (Plachy) You're right. Yeah, that's exactly what it is. - Those were... (group laughs) The roller skates were supposed to turn into something elaborate. - But he got... - The potato gun? - Like, that's perfect! - Doof, doof, doof, doof! And he's like ah, I got things to do. (group laughs) - Yeah, he was another passer-byer in that movie. -

Oh! - That just saw it happen. I love that. - That's crazy. Woah, okay, heist? (both laugh) That's good stories, heist, okay, I'm gonna vamp, so you can think of yours. - Oh no. - Alright, here's my heist, oh, you're not saying heist. - It doesn't have to be a heist. - But it is now! - You just get... Yeah. (laughs) - I'm in a heist! - (Plachy) So you stole money. - I've stole money! I'm Fast and Furious-ing this thing, alright? There's something that I've had in my head that I've always wanted

to put in a script if I was ever to be able to write like a James Bond sequence. - Everybody write this down. - Right? - Okay. - This is what I've always wanted to do. It's a simple stunt, but I always thought it'd be a cool moment. This is just step one. So I'm being chased. (sirens blaring) And there's like, we're going high speed. There's cops, there's everything, there's whatever. I'm in my fast car. There's a barricade ahead of me. - (Plachy) Okay. - Or there is a gap. - (Plachy) Spike str

ip maybe? - A spike strip. I press a button on my car, the Q probably, hooked up. - Hold on.. - My hood! - You said anything, you didn't give any situations. - A Q. - I mean... - This is mine! This is my chase! - (Nicole) It's his! - Alright. - They're chasing me, and then my hood flies up. (Nicole laughs) And the hood lands and a thing comes out, and it turns it into a ramp. Rawr! I ramp it, the thing goes back down after I go off of it, I fly, it's awesome, it's like Keanu in the bus in Speed

. - I land, boom, but we're not done yet. We're not done yet, because it's a heist, I got a crew, right? This is some Ocean's 11 [censored]. So I got a crew, but my crew is just made entirely of the little acrobat guys. - (Plachy) (laughs) Okay. - I don't have a tech guy, I don't have like the muscle. I got nothing, I got 10... - (Plachy) Yeah. - Flexible... - (Plachy) Bouncy. - Bouncy, fast, acrobats. What ends up happening is that we get into like a Spider-Man situation where we're going thr

ough a high-rise in the city, and stuff like that, and then they just start Tarzan-ing me through the streets, like a barrel of monkeys, until I get away, and I pay for that kid's cancer treatment with the money that I stole, 'cause he deserved it. - (Plachy) Damn. - And I'm a [censored] hero. - I needed a music backdrop, background for that. - (Nicole) Yeah. (group laughs) - I like the idea of a heist team made out... - (Plachy) Of acrobats. - (both) Just acrobats. - (Plachy) But truly, that wo

uld work, perfect. - Right? (both laugh) Little contortionists. Alright Nicole. - I've been turned into cow. May I be excused? (both laugh) - That's a good reference. Good reference. - (Plachy) I can give you mine. - Yes, let's hear yours. - It's been a bit since I've like fully talked this out, but I love watching high speed chases, like the helicopter following the car. That's like one of my favorite things. It's also super nostalgic for me, 'cause we would watch those as a family. (laughs)

And like... - Yeah! - (Plachy) Tune in to that stuff. - They were like... - (Plachy) Is that common? - Yeah! - Yeah, well the OJ chase. - Mm-hmm. - (Plachy) Well, that, of course. - Especially in L.A., it's like appointment viewing. - Oh yeah. - (Plachy) Yeah, it is. - It brings communities together. - So my thing is that I wanna have a big rig, like a semi truck, and fill it with tanks and tanks and tanks of gas. - Okay. - Okay. - (Plachy) Start speeding down the freeway. - We're listening. -

Get the cops behind me, they're chasing me, it turns into it's televised, okay, now we're watching it. This thing goes on for, I mean, this could be days. - You got a bunch of gas! - (Plachy) If I have that much gas. - You're saying, you're not just hauling the gas, the gas is connected to your... - (Plachy) To the... - You maniac! - And it does, so I might drive through Canada, it's going, okay? Then, to get away, I plan a stop on some sort of like sewer. - Okay. - (Plachy) Whatever. - You're

gonna Ninja Turtle this [censored]. - Ninja Turtle this [censored]. - (Joe) Yeah, yeah, yeah. - I'm gonna open it, like, I'm gonna stop the semi truck. - (Joe) Mm-hmm. - I'm gonna open up the middle of the semi truck. I'm gonna press a button, and a giant parachute balloon thing is gonna like fly over the top of the truck, okay? So that it completely covers everything you can see. - So now you're Breaking Bad-ing the house now. - I'm Breaking Bad, yes. You got it. - You're putting a gas, oh, oka

y, I got you. - I'm sneaking down underneath, into the sewer, essentially, which is kind of gross. - Depending on the sewer. - Follow the sewers to my house. (both laugh) Go into my house. (laughs) - You're in Canada! - No no no, I went around. Let's say I went around. I went back. - This has been a three-week chase. - And I tune into the TV and just watch them trying to open up my truck that I'm long gone from. (laughs) - Go to your room. - (Plachy) You don't like that? (both laugh) - I just

like the unnecessary balloon... - (Plachy) You know what that is? - Around the, it's a distraction! - It's a distraction, but it's also a show. Imagine watching that on TV, and seeing that happen, and being like woah, what the heck's happening? - How about this thing? Can I one-up it for you? - (Plachy) Oh yeah. - Can I give some notes? - Like I said, yeah please. - Okay. - (Plachy) This was like my 12 year old brain. - You need a bunch of acrobats, no. (both laugh) - He needs a bunch of roller

blades. - Roller blades. Acrobats on roller blades. - (Plachy) Potato guns, yeah. - So instead of the, look, I'll let you keep the weird around the truck balloon thing. - Please. - You can keep that, but it's a show, right? Why not also have like three 4th of July, like specials... - (Plachy) Fireworks? - Fireworks, like that amount. three, firework specials. - (Plachy) You're saying. - Worth of fireworks also connected to the truck, so that your show is truly a show. - I think, I agree, I mean

, we could even have like dancers come out at the same time, and have like a show. - This is getting expensive. - It's your acrobats on roller skates. - Yeah. - Yeah. - It could be, and you could fly through, like your chase is going on at the same time. - I jump your fuckin' truck! - You jump over, Evel Knievel. (both laugh) - (Plachy) Alright, we got there. - Yeah, okay. Nicole? (laughs) - I've said this often, if I'm in that situation, I would like to not survive. (both laugh) - You're just

gonna careen? - So my answer is I'm just gonna careen off of a very large cliff and... - You're gonna Thelma and Louise it? - Yeah. - But just by yourself? - Just by myself. - No, you'd get away, you've already revealed that you're like the fastest driver on the planet. - That's what I was gonna say, it's like Fast and the Furious for sure. - She doesn't need it. - (Plachy) She actually knows it, yeah. - Yeah, she's like you amateurs. (both laugh) You and your cartoons. - Ugh, alright y'all. -

Did we do it? - Did we do it? - (Plachy) We did it! - Wow! - Is this a segue? - (Plachy) Yeah! - It's a segue. - It's a segue dude. - Damn, okay. Kevin, what's this gonna be like in the future? What are we doing here? - Each week, we're having a different theme, essentially, for what we're going to be talking about. Today was True Crime. - Okay. - Alright. - The next one, McDonald's. (Nicole gasps) You guys wanna hear about McDonald's, and crazy facts about McDonald's? - Yes. - Oh yes. - And wh

at would happen if McDonald's got wiped off the face of the earth? - Yes! - (Nicole) Ooh. - (Plachy) What would happen? - I bet you economies would crash. - (Plachy) Oh yeah. - Yeah. - We'll get there. We'll get there, shh, shh, shh. - (Joe) Woah. - Please don't spoil it. - Ooh, that's good. And if you haven't figured it out yet, Kevin is spearheading this whole operation. - Ugh! - He is our man behind the plan. - Do we call him Kevin, or do we call him Plachy? - I know, I had this same thing,

because in this office, there's a lot of Kevins. - (Nicole) There are. - And I've been going by my last name, which is Plachy. So I'm fine with you guys calling me Plachy. I know it's gonna be tough for Joe, 'cause we've known each other longer. - Mm-hmm. - (Plachy) But... - I'm gonna call you P-Dizzle. - (Plachy) P-Dizzle? (laughs) You kind already do, sometimes. Hey P-Dizzle, what up P-Dizzle? Sorry about your uncle's death, P-Dizzle. - Woah! You'll call me, Nicole will call me Plachy. She'll

nail it. - Yeah, Plachy. - (Plachy) Plachy. - Plachy. - Yeah, you're kind of like the leader of the orchestra of instruments that are voices. - (Plachy) Yeah! - Yeah! - On the podcast. - And we have a lot of really exciting plans for this podcast too. This is kind of like our baby steps into it, but we're super excited for what's to come. Oh, and Nicole has more wine! - Yasmin coming in with the wine! - (Plachy) Woah! - Look at that! - (Plachy) Oh, she's topping her off. - Oh, snaps, thank you!

- (Plachy) Wow! - Wow. - Wow! - Holy crap. - I did a good job hiring APs. - That is some boss ass shit. - I just remembered too. I had this idea, it's a stupid, little idea, that at the end of every episode, I would show you guys a little clip, and it would be a word from Anthony. And if you don't know who Anthony is... - (laughs) Yes! - (Plachy) Anthony is our production manager. - Line producer. - Line producer. - Mm-hmm, he's been in a couple videos. - Yeah. - I mean, I've known him now for a

bout a month, and I think I'm in love with this man. (Joe laughs) And he is my... - I am also in love with Anthony. - As we should be. - His voice, everything about him is amazing, and I just wanna hear him talk as much as possible, and I want other people to hear him talk as much as possible, so I would love to end each episode... - (Joe) I love this. - (Nicole) I love this. - With a word from Anthony, so... - This is perfect. - Yes. - So, if we get, 'cause right now, he's out of town, so I wa

s not able to get one today. - (Nicole) Oh. - But I will get a clip to put at the end of this episode, and then you guys will be able to see it in the future. - Dude, way to leave them hanging. - (Plachy) Right, right? (both laugh) I didn't realize you guys knew... - I was so excited. - I was so excited to see this word from Anthony. - I was like what did Anthony say? - I know! - Well, you guys are left hanging, but they'll get to hear it right now. - (Joe) Wow. - And now, a word from Anthony,

AKA me. And if you don't know who I am, you should totally be ashamed of yourself. But since this is the first episode, let me introduce myself. I'm Anthony, line producer at REACT, and I don't really know how I feel about being asked to do this segment. I surely wasn't asked because of my soothing voice. I sound like Fran Drescher, star and creator of the best '90s sitcom, The Nanny, which is a total crime that show got canceled. Speaking of crimes, this week's topic is true crime, which got

me thinking of some things that should be a crime, but aren't. Number one, talking on speaker phone in public, also FaceTiming in public, just why? Number two, bringing fast food on the airplane. If you want to eat on the plane, just fly first class, duh. Number three, your pet dying, specifically dogs. Well, and bunnies, but only because Plachy, the producer of this podcast, has bunnies, and I just love Plachy so much. Number four, chewing with your mouth open. Absolutely not, never. You wi

ll get punched, goodbye. Number five, paparazzi. You guys broke Britney and Linsday Lohan. [Censored] holes. Number six, hunting for sport. You don't need a rhino horn hanging in your living room for decoration. Just go to Crate & Barrel Like the rest of us. Last, but surely not least, gender reveals. Literally, no one cares about your baby. I surely don't. Well, I guess that's it for me, for now. You'll be hearing much more very soon, bye! - That's crazy. Well, okay, so we're finishing up. P

lachy is the man behind the plan. - Ooh. - We're here talking right now, but this is kinda gonna evolve, and we want you guys to kinda come along for the trip. You know, we're gonna bring other producers in, let you see behind the scenes, we'll eventually get REACT cast in here, and just, this is gonna kinda be an experiment in real time, and we want to invite you along. - Yeah! - (Plachy) Yeah. - So let us know, like what you think. Let us know what you think of this episode, let us know who e

lse you want to see on... - Give us topics. - On future... Yeah, give us future topics. - (Plachy) Topics, yeah. - Give us questions. - (Plachy) Love questions. - We'll not give you answers. - Let us know if killers make you horny. - Oh. No, confidence makes you horny. - Confidently killing though, also makes you horny. - Maybe. (both laugh) - No, you don't, you like any of those killers with no confidence. - No, yeah no! - I don't think I'm stabbing this guy very well. - (Plachy) Eww! - If you

do it, you gotta commit. Commit to the bit. (Plachy laughs) - Nicole, did you like what I did to his throat? (laughs) Oh God. - (Plachy) Alright! - I'm not confident in my cut! - Joe made himself laugh. - No, I made myself say no, don't do that. (group laughs) - (Plachy) Alright, y'all. - Alright. - Alright! - (Plachy) Goodbye! - Goodbye! - You wanna talk about how Joe Rogan's your favorite podcast? - (Plachy) Are we... - I actually don't know that I've ever listened to Joe Rogan's podcast, and

I feel okay with that. I've definitely seen clips of it, but I've never like sat and listened to a whole episode. - I think... Oh, you did me. - (Plachy) Oh, no way.
