248: The Lost Script & License Plate Scanners

Published: March 29, 2023, 11:30 a.m.

Gather \u2018round, dear listeners, for a devastating tale! A nugget of pure comedy gold has, sadly, been lost forever.
\n
\nYou see, two months ago, one of our Patrons suggested that we do something fun for our upcoming April Fools\u2019 Day episode. He cited that thing that Michael Che and Colin Jost do when they swap jokes on SNL. He suggested we do something similar \u2013 why not write scripts for the other person to read? Kristin loooooved the idea. Brandi did not.
\n
\nKristin, (brilliant goddess that she is) thought that if *she* handled the execution of this fabulous idea, she could get Brandi on board and we\u2019d all revel in a comedic wonder. So, she quietly wrote up a script for Brandi to read. Then, she formatted it into cue cards.\xa0
\n
\nWhen it came time to record, Kristin presented Brandi with the script. And Brandi was like\u2026 hell no, I\u2019m not reading that. (Was it because the script contained a few tangents about her unwavering crush on Dr. Phil? The world may never know!) So, yeah, umm\u2026 that script will never see the light of day.
\n
\n\u2026but we do have *one* story to tell you:\xa0
\n
\nWhen Lonnie Paye didn\u2019t return his girlfriend\u2019s phone calls, she became concerned. Had she done something to upset him? Was he just busy? Days passed, and eventually, she called the police. When they arrived at Lonnie\u2019s upscale home, they discovered that she\u2019d been right to be concerned. Lonnie\u2019s body was on the floor of his garage. He\u2019d been shot multiple times. Lonnie\u2019s family was shocked by his death, but gave investigators a few leads. Lonnie had a rocky relationship with the mother of his infant son. Could she have done something? He also had some business relationships that might have gone sour. Perhaps that was to blame.
\n
\nAnd now for a note about our process. For each episode, Kristin reads a bunch of articles, then spits them back out in her very limited vocabulary. Brandi copies and pastes from the best sources on the web. And sometimes Wikipedia. (No shade, Wikipedia. We love you.) We owe a huge debt of gratitude to the real experts who covered these cases.
