Taylor Parker, Maternal Instinct. We are having some fun, aren't we? Breaking down this thing, my God. We're going through the entire interrogation video of her in the hospital and the antics to which she gets up to in her Taylor ways. If you're just joining us, there's two parts prior to this, so I suggest watching them. Just go back in the podcast series here on YouTube or wherever you're listening to us. Here in part three, she's already come to admitting that something happened, that she knows about this, that she's involved in this. But she's trying to spin a tale, trying to spin a tale that somehow, this is all a horrible accident, somehow a knife just happened to get in there and do all that.
It's quite amazing what the Cluster B mind is capable of. Let's continue where we left off on this hellish tale that is Taylor Parker.
And I want to note this here too quick, but we're picking up right at a note where she just said that Wade had nothing to do with this. So that's where we're at.

**SPEAKER_3** (1:39)
Okay.

**SPEAKER_4** (1:40)
So she, she lived close to you?

**SPEAKER_3** (1:45)
Do y'all live close together? Is it for your drive to your house, from your house?

**Taylor Parker** (1:52)
Okay.

**SPEAKER_3** (1:59)
Now, that affects people's perception too.

**Taylor Parker** (2:02)
I had been out since like 2am.

**SPEAKER_3** (2:15)
Two nights and not much sleep, yeah.

**Taylor Parker** (2:18)
I didn't lie down till like 12, 15, and then we got up at 2.40.

**SPEAKER_3** (2:35)
Do you remember by what time of the day it was you went over there? This morning early?

**Taylor Parker** (2:56)
I'm nine.

**SPEAKER_3** (2:58)
This morning or last night?

**SPEAKER_4** (3:01)
Nine this morning.

**SPEAKER_3** (3:04)
So you're fighting, you end up in the garage, you hear her yelling for somebody named Jennifer. Have you ever saw anybody named Jennifer?
Do you even know anybody named Jennifer that would be associated with her?

**SPEAKER_4** (3:18)
Okay.

**SPEAKER_3** (3:20)
And so at some point, she gets her head, falls down and hits her head.

**Taylor Parker** (3:28)
She pushed me in the garage. I pushed her back.

**SPEAKER_3** (4:21)
Was that the last time she fell? So, you go into the living room, you'll fight some more.

**Tony Brueski** (5:03)
I know that.

**SPEAKER_4** (5:07)
It's okay. That's why I'm, I listen, Taylor.

**SPEAKER_3** (5:11)
If I believe it, I wouldn't be spending time talking to you.
I'm just trying to get to the bottom of it, right? Why did this happen, right?

**Tony Brueski** (5:21)
There, if you're commenting on this and you're looking for like a first place to comment, let's comment here. What do you think is going through her mind right there at that moment in time?
Is she oblivious to what has happened here? Is she in some sort of catatonic weird state? Is the reality playing back to her and is it hitting her right then and there what she just did? Or is it, she's now in the whole time and the theatrics are just progressing the way they're progressing? Obviously we can't be in her head, but you tell me.

**SPEAKER_3** (6:08)
So why does she call you a liar? What was that about?

**SPEAKER_4** (6:20)
What about it?

**SPEAKER_3** (6:23)
Why would she call you a liar about the baby?

**Taylor Parker** (6:38)
There's other stuff that I can't remember. I'm trying to remember.

**SPEAKER_3** (6:42)
That's fine.

**SPEAKER_4** (6:43)
That's fine.

**SPEAKER_3** (6:50)
So, there's some discussion at the beginning in New York about the baby, and she calls you a liar. Is that accurate? But you don't remember what it was.

**Taylor Parker** (6:59)
She said something.

**Taylor Parker** (7:00)
Well, I just can't remember what it was.

**SPEAKER_3** (7:04)
That's okay. I'm just trying to get it right in my head. Okay.

**SPEAKER_4** (7:08)
And then she punches you. You punch her back, and y'all is up in...

**SPEAKER_3** (7:14)
There's a carport or garage. You use both words.

**SPEAKER_4** (7:18)
It's more like a carport or a garage.

**Taylor Parker** (7:22)
A concrete, you know. And then it goes in.

**SPEAKER_3** (7:27)
Okay.
All right. So you hold it up in the garage, and she falls.

**SPEAKER_4** (7:33)
She pushes you. You push her back.

**SPEAKER_3** (7:34)
She falls pretty hard.

**SPEAKER_4** (7:36)
And then I think you told me that...

**Taylor Parker** (7:38)
She grabbed it by the... She grabbed a knife.

**Taylor Parker** (7:43)
Okay.

**Taylor Parker** (7:44)
Because I remember she stabbed me in my hand.

**SPEAKER_4** (7:49)
The cut right there?
