How was he never arrested before if he did all that stuff to his neighbors?!
2023-06-23 02:32:52 +0000 UTCI love all 3 of your families podcasts, but as an Oklahoman when you are talking about all the violent incidents since this shooting. Please don’t forget the Oklahoma City Bombing on April 19, 1995. We lost 168 people that day and 19 of them were children. It has been 28 years but it is something that we never forget in Oklahoma just like we all never forget 9/11. It is still the deadliest act of domestic terrorism in the U.S. If you and Garrett ever find your way to Oklahoma, you should make a trip to the Oklahoma City National Memorial Museum. No matter how many times you visit, you will leave in tears. Then you can go outside where there is a chair for every victim overlooking the reflecting pool. It’s an experience that truly shows your how evil people can be and also how others come together in tragedy to help their fellow neighbors 🥺 Maybe one day you can cover it in one of your podcasts.

2023-05-16 22:36:22 +0000 UTCHi Abby! We are so so sorry that you have had to witness this so close to your home. We love you and have everyone who has been affected by this in our thoughts🖤
2023-05-12 17:29:13 +0000 UTCHey Payton! I love binged and MWMH, I can't wait to watch this episode at a later date. I live in the DFW area, about 15 minutes from the recent mass shooting that took place at the Allen outlets. I had been there so much, it. has really taken a toll on my mental health and feeling safe enough to go in public. I can't watch the episode right now, even though I wasn't there the day the shoot occurred its been extremely scary and traumatizing. I can't wait for the new episodes and once I am able to watch this one I am sure it will be great! Sending all the love, and reminding everyone to love each other during such scary times in the world.🩵
