My Favorite Murder Hello, and welcome to My Favorite Murder.

**Georgia Hardstark** (0:19)
That's Georgia Hardstark.

**Karen Kilgariff** (0:20)
That's Karen Kilgariff.

**Georgia Hardstark** (0:21)
And we're here to podcast at you.

**Karen Kilgariff** (0:24)
Always and forever. That's the contract we signed.

**Georgia Hardstark** (0:26)
With the devil.

**Karen Kilgariff** (0:27)
Come with me. To hell. To podcast for the rest of your life.

**Georgia Hardstark** (0:31)
Listen, I shouldn't have said to hell. Yeah. We love it here.

**Karen Kilgariff** (0:35)
Oh, I love hell. It's hilarious. It's the best.

**Georgia Hardstark** (0:37)
Do you ever kind of do secretary actions knowing that you don't have to do any secretary jobs?

**Karen Kilgariff** (0:43)
There's definitely just moments throughout my day where I think, thank fucking God, this is my life. For real. So grateful.

**Georgia Hardstark** (0:50)
My passion that I discovered in sixth grade, which is reading aloud, is my job.

**Karen Kilgariff** (0:56)
And talking as much as you want.

**Georgia Hardstark** (0:58)
All the time. All the reasons.
Talking here, conversationally. Go ahead and reading off of here.

**Karen Kilgariff** (1:04)
Just read your thing. Yeah. That's pretty great.

**Georgia Hardstark** (1:07)
And now you can too.

**Karen Kilgariff** (1:09)
Take our course. For only $400. We're selling something.

**Georgia Hardstark** (1:13)
Yeah, we are.

**Karen Kilgariff** (1:14)
Yeah, it's great. Why is this bothering me? Okay.

**Georgia Hardstark** (1:16)
Everyone's selling something and those who say they aren't are lying.

**Karen Kilgariff** (1:20)
That's right.

**Georgia Hardstark** (1:21)
A quote from what? Grimace.

**Karen Kilgariff** (1:24)
Oh, I can't remember who's grimace. I didn't get that.

**Georgia Hardstark** (1:28)
Sorry. That was the grimace part was a joke too.
I had a really, really big mocha frappuccino before I came here.

**Karen Kilgariff** (1:36)
I had a pouch from a new brand in my gum that's supposed to give me energy.

**Georgia Hardstark** (1:42)
Skull?

**Karen Kilgariff** (1:42)
No, it's not nicotine.

**Georgia Hardstark** (1:44)
It's like a little energy pouch.

**Karen Kilgariff** (1:46)
Neurotropic.

**Georgia Hardstark** (1:47)
What's it feel like?

**Karen Kilgariff** (1:48)
I feel good so far. I feel like it's working.

**Georgia Hardstark** (1:51)
Are you seeing multiplication in front of you and you're solving it?

**Karen Kilgariff** (1:55)
I know how to play chess now.

**Georgia Hardstark** (1:56)
What? Okay, I got to go.

**Karen Kilgariff** (1:58)
Yeah, that's what I'm selling.

**Georgia Hardstark** (2:00)
Okay. Cheek pouch enhancers?

**Karen Kilgariff** (2:03)
I'm like Gen Z. I'm so young.

**Georgia Hardstark** (2:06)
You're down by the old Farmville. I don't know. I know the games people play.

**Karen Kilgariff** (2:13)
I'm thinking of games when I hear something funny.

**Georgia Hardstark** (2:15)
Yes.

**Karen Kilgariff** (2:16)
Vince Averell, my one and only husband.

**Georgia Hardstark** (2:19)
So you say.

**Karen Kilgariff** (2:21)
Is now in a band with Marcus Parks from last podcast on the wall. No. They're in a fucking band together.

**Georgia Hardstark** (2:28)
And now you can't too. That's fucking amazing.

**Karen Kilgariff** (2:32)
Is that right? He plays golf with Chris Fairbanks and he's in a band with Marcus.

**Georgia Hardstark** (2:36)
What does Marcus play?

**Karen Kilgariff** (2:37)
He plays drums.

**Georgia Hardstark** (2:39)
That's badass.

**Karen Kilgariff** (2:39)
They're like good.

**Georgia Hardstark** (2:41)
Will you please invite me when they do a show? Of course.

**Karen Kilgariff** (2:43)
I don't know when it's going to happen, but yes, of course.

**Georgia Hardstark** (2:45)
Did they just start?

**Karen Kilgariff** (2:46)
No, they've had quite a few practices just jamming.

**Georgia Hardstark** (2:49)
Is it like the heavy metal that Vince is so interested in or whatever they call it?

**Karen Kilgariff** (2:53)
No, it's a little more melodic. This isn't the case, but it reminds me like Vince used to jam with his friends in New York for no reason than jam and one of their girlfriends called it smoking pot practice.
They were playing electronic back then. This is different.

**Georgia Hardstark** (3:11)
This is different.

**Karen Kilgariff** (3:11)
I'll let everyone know. They're going to be opening for us. I thought you get a kick out of that.

**Georgia Hardstark** (3:15)
I love it. That's really about us.

**Karen Kilgariff** (3:18)
Should we tell everyone that we have a podcast network in case they don't know?

**Georgia Hardstark** (3:20)
No, I think we should keep it a secret.

**Karen Kilgariff** (3:22)
It's called Exactly Right Media. Here are some highlights from it.

**Georgia Hardstark** (3:26)
We've got a little show called Disgraceland. You may have heard of it. The great Jake Brennan this week will be telling the story of Alice Bagg, who is an underground feminist icon of LA's early punk scene. It's set against the terrifying backdrop of the Hillside Stranglers. I covered them on Episode 114, Civic Order.
