2 Nights of Crime

WEBVTT

1
00:00:06.120 --> 00:00:10.279
Welcome to Unspeakable, a true crime
podcast where I tell stories of real crimes

2
00:00:10.359 --> 00:00:14.880
with real victims, whose cases are
so shocking that many are left wondering how

3
00:00:14.919 --> 00:00:25.320
is this even real? I use
my experiences in law enforcement corrections, and

4
00:00:25.399 --> 00:00:30.079
combined with my years as a criminal
justice educator, dig deep into complex cases

5
00:00:30.120 --> 00:00:51.119
of evil acts, some so evil
many feel they are unspeakable. Warning.

6
00:00:51.479 --> 00:00:55.719
Unspeakable as intended for mature audiences.
If you are easily offended, then I'm

7
00:00:55.719 --> 00:00:59.759
not your girl. Listening discretion is
advised. Hey, y'alla, Welcome to

8
00:01:00.039 --> 00:01:03.879
Unspeakable, a true crime podcast by
Kelly Jennings. And I'm just what you're

9
00:01:03.920 --> 00:01:10.200
thinking right now. You're thinking that
don't sound like Kelly Jennings. That might

10
00:01:10.239 --> 00:01:17.159
be Jimithy, And it is Jimithy. Kelly just completed her live this past

11
00:01:17.280 --> 00:01:22.120
weekend and we were caught on Sundays, y'all, and Kelly Jennings Unspeakable Live

12
00:01:22.280 --> 00:01:29.280
too was Friday and Saturday. It's
now Sunday, and we gave her a

13
00:01:29.400 --> 00:01:36.400
much deserved break for a few days
and let letter rest. Look, these

14
00:01:36.799 --> 00:01:40.840
live podcasts take a lot out of
you. Kelly worked very, very hard,

15
00:01:41.079 --> 00:01:44.959
so I thought it would be fun
to tell y'all what transpired if you

16
00:01:44.959 --> 00:01:49.680
couldn't make it to Unspeakable Live Too, give you a little bit of information

17
00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:55.599
of what's upcoming with the podcast,
and of course Kelly will be back next

18
00:01:55.599 --> 00:02:02.599
week with a brand new episode.
So Speakable Too took place at the Southeastern

19
00:02:02.719 --> 00:02:07.959
Livingston Center, and let me tell
you all about that center and why it's

20
00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:16.639
been so really integral to the success
of Kelly's podcast Unspeakable and several others that

21
00:02:16.719 --> 00:02:23.840
I produce that we've done live podcasts
for. So Southeastern Livingston is a campus

22
00:02:24.039 --> 00:02:30.639
that is owned by Southeastern Louisiana University
that is actually located in Walker, Louisiana.

23
00:02:30.960 --> 00:02:38.520
And the interesting thing about this particular
campus is it has an auditorium that

24
00:02:38.680 --> 00:02:44.319
is actually built for sound, which
is really good for podcasting obviously, and

25
00:02:44.719 --> 00:02:50.120
it has I guess you could call
it theater seating where when you're attending one

26
00:02:50.159 --> 00:02:53.520
of these lives, there's really not
a bad seat in the house. And

27
00:02:53.560 --> 00:02:59.919
then they have regular, you know, the nice padded chairs that for overfall

28
00:03:00.240 --> 00:03:07.039
crowds, which both of these particular
shows we needed. It was sold out

29
00:03:07.199 --> 00:03:10.919
quick. We originally planned on one
date, which was this past Saturday.

30
00:03:12.080 --> 00:03:15.039
That sold out, y'all, within
a couple of hours. We knew it

31
00:03:15.080 --> 00:03:20.400
would sell out, but just blessed
that it sold out very very quickly,

32
00:03:20.479 --> 00:03:27.400
and so it didn't take us much
time and consideration to have a Friday showing

33
00:03:27.479 --> 00:03:30.879
as well. We want to make
sure as many people as possible would have

34
00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:37.840
the opportunity to see it. And
Kelly got to work and she started doing

35
00:03:37.919 --> 00:03:42.240
her thing, and that is coming
up with the story, right y'all.

36
00:03:42.280 --> 00:03:45.759
She had one hundred and fifteen slides. But it didn't feel teachy. It

37
00:03:45.840 --> 00:03:52.599
was very very interesting, and it
was on Derek todd Lee And I'm going

38
00:03:52.680 --> 00:03:55.120
to give you a little bit more
about what we're going to be doing with

39
00:03:55.159 --> 00:03:59.680
that story. But those it may
not be familiar, we have well,

40
00:03:59.719 --> 00:04:03.360
we have listeners from all over the
world on Unspeakable Derek Toddley, the most

41
00:04:03.439 --> 00:04:13.599
notorious of probably all serial killers in
Louisiana. Just a horrible, pathetic excuse

42
00:04:13.639 --> 00:04:17.319
of a human being, to be
quite honest. But as you know,

43
00:04:17.560 --> 00:04:23.480
with Kelly, she focuses on the
victims. She doesn't you have to tell

44
00:04:23.519 --> 00:04:30.160
the story of, you know,
the perpetrator or killer or whatever case you're

45
00:04:30.199 --> 00:04:34.959
covering. But Kelly does an amazing
job of focusing on the victims and telling

46
00:04:35.040 --> 00:04:41.319
their story. A lot of times
in your media outlets and watching the news,

47
00:04:41.600 --> 00:04:48.480
they tend to dramaticize the situation,
which is a total focus on killers

48
00:04:48.519 --> 00:04:54.639
and things like that. She tells
the story of the victims that you may

49
00:04:54.920 --> 00:05:00.319
not know the whole story of and
does an amazing job of that. What

50
00:05:00.439 --> 00:05:05.639
occurred Friday night was the first of
the two nights and the show was just

51
00:05:05.879 --> 00:05:12.399
fire. We had a sold out
crowd. They had food trucks outside.

52
00:05:12.560 --> 00:05:16.319
They had a drink truck that was
y'all. This drink drink truck is a

53
00:05:16.480 --> 00:05:20.759
shape like a wine barrel, just
a really neat drink truck where they had

54
00:05:20.920 --> 00:05:28.199
you know, the Staples beer.
You had some wine and some mixed drinks

55
00:05:28.199 --> 00:05:32.600
that were uniquely named. Also,
they had a food truck there that was

56
00:05:32.720 --> 00:05:38.800
some Mexican fair from here in Livingston
Parish and one of the more famous and

57
00:05:38.839 --> 00:05:43.519
that was good as well. So
as you walked in to the event,

58
00:05:44.399 --> 00:05:49.240
there was swags set up and one
thing great about any event that Kelly does

59
00:05:49.519 --> 00:05:57.519
is that she has a really unique
mind for swag and promotional goods. If

60
00:05:57.560 --> 00:06:02.240
you will and They had everything from
unspeed pekable bookmarks to unspeakable brand of wine

61
00:06:03.040 --> 00:06:10.160
to you know, several designs of
T shirts. She had some wooden some

62
00:06:10.199 --> 00:06:15.680
sort of wooden things I think she
made that were they had the Unspeakable label

63
00:06:15.519 --> 00:06:19.959
on these little pieces of wooden art. I guess you could say, so

64
00:06:20.120 --> 00:06:25.439
some really unique stuff that you could
purchase. There photo op when you walk

65
00:06:25.519 --> 00:06:30.959
in with the I'm not your girl
saying across the top of it, where

66
00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:33.560
if you were coming in with friends, you could stop and take pictures,

67
00:06:33.680 --> 00:06:40.199
and they had tables set up where
you could eat if you purchase, you

68
00:06:40.240 --> 00:06:42.639
know, food from the food truck, or you want to sit around and

69
00:06:42.720 --> 00:06:46.800
drink a little bit with friends before
you went inside the actual auditorium, so

70
00:06:46.920 --> 00:06:53.639
you could meander into that auditorium and
yours truly Jimithy was there and I was

71
00:06:53.720 --> 00:06:59.199
spinning the eighties hit, y'all.
I actually had my cell phone SYNCD up

72
00:06:59.240 --> 00:07:03.720
to the Speeders and playing the eighties
hit. Because you know, the majority

73
00:07:03.759 --> 00:07:08.759
of Kelly's audience, she has ages
from all over the spectrum, but thirty

74
00:07:08.800 --> 00:07:15.000
five to you know, sixty crowd
is really prevalent with Kelly's shows, and

75
00:07:15.560 --> 00:07:20.959
I wanted to make sure that the
music was age appropriate, and so we

76
00:07:21.040 --> 00:07:25.199
had some eighties going on in there, had Billy Idel rocking it, and

77
00:07:25.600 --> 00:07:29.079
you name it, we were playing
it. Kelly was in the back.

78
00:07:29.160 --> 00:07:32.360
They have a green room there and
it's a really nice place to kind of

79
00:07:32.399 --> 00:07:35.720
sit and relax, just gavit of
your thoughts, get ready for the podcast.

80
00:07:35.879 --> 00:07:41.560
And they have food back there what
you would think of when you think

81
00:07:41.560 --> 00:07:46.560
of a green room. They you
know, bottled water and drinks and snacks

82
00:07:46.680 --> 00:07:50.279
and all of those sorts of things. But it's a great place to gather

83
00:07:50.480 --> 00:07:57.399
your thoughts and just get ready for
the podcast. So just before Kelly comes

84
00:07:57.399 --> 00:08:03.519
out and does her thing, my
elf and the director of Southeastern Livingston we

85
00:08:03.600 --> 00:08:07.639
stand up for a few minutes and
maybe you know, I call it a

86
00:08:07.720 --> 00:08:13.040
crowd warm up. Crustal who is
part of the Southeastern Livingston Center, she's

87
00:08:13.079 --> 00:08:16.600
the director. She came out and
thanked the crowd for coming, kind of

88
00:08:16.639 --> 00:08:22.360
told a little bit about what Southeastern
at Livingston is all about. And then

89
00:08:22.959 --> 00:08:26.959
I got up and you know,
I did what I do. I embarrassed

90
00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:31.919
a bunch of people. So I
called Kelly's husband up there and just kind

91
00:08:31.960 --> 00:08:37.240
of announced him to the crowd because
Blake, you know as family, and

92
00:08:37.320 --> 00:08:41.039
look, I'm on both sides of
that. I'm a podcaster and I'm also

93
00:08:41.080 --> 00:08:48.759
a podcast producer and active in both
roles. So because of that, I

94
00:08:48.879 --> 00:08:54.080
know what it's like to have the
support of your family behind you and how

95
00:08:54.080 --> 00:08:58.480
important that is. But you know, Blake, he he is about the

96
00:08:58.519 --> 00:09:03.759
most supportive person I've ever seen in
podcasting when Kelly comes and she does a

97
00:09:03.840 --> 00:09:09.200
podcast here, unless Blake's got something
going on with with his his business.

98
00:09:09.279 --> 00:09:13.600
He owns his own business called dreams
Gapes, So we're gonna give them a

99
00:09:13.639 --> 00:09:18.159
plug right there. And what they
do is they do awnings for the for

100
00:09:18.559 --> 00:09:24.000
like your backyard. If you're wanting
to do a metal awning to cover the

101
00:09:24.039 --> 00:09:26.600
sun, especially here in South Waluisiana, that's important. He's who you would

102
00:09:26.639 --> 00:09:31.039
call to do that. And they
do great work at Dreamscapes Construction. Outside

103
00:09:31.080 --> 00:09:35.639
of all that, he's just a
really supportive husband. And when he can

104
00:09:35.679 --> 00:09:39.480
make it here, which is more
often than not, it's probably ninety percent

105
00:09:39.480 --> 00:09:45.320
of the time because we do record
on Sundays, he'll sit and he'll actually

106
00:09:45.320 --> 00:09:50.320
sit in the director's chair and he'll
just watch your podcast. It's pretty awesome.

107
00:09:50.639 --> 00:09:54.919
And he also did a lot of
things with this event, like the

108
00:09:54.960 --> 00:09:58.799
balloons, you know, the which
is something. Look, Jim Chapman,

109
00:09:58.240 --> 00:10:01.360
I'm not messing with balloons. You
don't want me messing with balloons because I'm

110
00:10:01.360 --> 00:10:05.679
gonna pop every one of them and
you're gonna know I was there when I'm

111
00:10:05.799 --> 00:10:11.200
done, because it would look horrible. But that's something that Blake did and

112
00:10:11.320 --> 00:10:13.600
it came out beautiful, looks really
good. You would think he was a

113
00:10:13.639 --> 00:10:20.080
professional balloon arch person. He just
did a great job at it. Thinking

114
00:10:20.159 --> 00:10:22.159
of that, she had several other
members of her family. I know,

115
00:10:22.200 --> 00:10:28.879
her sister, her nieces, her
daughters, everybody was kind of chipping in

116
00:10:28.000 --> 00:10:33.039
doing things. They were working in
the swag area. There's a local place

117
00:10:33.080 --> 00:10:37.200
here called Sport and Center, and
Miss Danielle over at Sporting Center was helping

118
00:10:37.240 --> 00:10:41.279
them out with that swag and they
do a lot with like T shirts and

119
00:10:41.320 --> 00:10:43.879
things like that for Kelly, and
I thought that was pretty awesome that they

120
00:10:43.879 --> 00:10:48.799
were involved in that. It was
time for Kelly to take the stage,

121
00:10:48.000 --> 00:10:54.200
and y'all, she comes out and
I had her intro synced to the speaker

122
00:10:54.279 --> 00:11:00.159
system so that when she came out, her intro was playing, and and

123
00:11:00.799 --> 00:11:05.840
she rocked it. She went out
there and it was it was interesting because

124
00:11:05.960 --> 00:11:09.080
what we did different here. And
I'm gonna tell you all this story because

125
00:11:09.120 --> 00:11:11.720
if you weren't there, you don't
know it. But on unspeakable one,

126
00:11:13.320 --> 00:11:16.720
Kelly got up and she did her
thing, and she told her story and

127
00:11:16.759 --> 00:11:22.679
it was about just a horrific series
of murders here actually in the Livingston Parish

128
00:11:22.720 --> 00:11:26.279
area. And it took a little
while. I think that podcast was about

129
00:11:26.279 --> 00:11:30.840
an hour and a half an hour, maybe a little over that. But

130
00:11:31.360 --> 00:11:33.960
when she was finished, the original
plan was for me to get up and

131
00:11:35.000 --> 00:11:37.720
I was gonna explain to everybody what
was gonna happen after that. Let's just

132
00:11:37.759 --> 00:11:41.559
say that because I'm gonna get into
all of that in just a minute.

133
00:11:41.679 --> 00:11:46.759
But when I got up to do
that, everybody was almost out of the

134
00:11:46.840 --> 00:11:52.000
room. Like I got two words
out of my mouth and everybody was amost

135
00:11:52.000 --> 00:11:54.360
out of the room. And when
I walked out of the room to see

136
00:11:54.399 --> 00:11:56.600
what was up, you would have
thought there was a fire. I mean,

137
00:11:56.639 --> 00:12:03.639
it was crazy. Everybody had to
pee. Yeah, we learn as

138
00:12:03.679 --> 00:12:07.720
we go with these podcasts sometimes,
and one thing I learned was intermissions are

139
00:12:07.840 --> 00:12:11.799
a good thing. Sometimes you want
to do a little intermission when you have

140
00:12:11.919 --> 00:12:16.720
a long podcast because people don't you
know, you're engrossed in a story and

141
00:12:16.759 --> 00:12:20.279
you're like, I'm spinning around in
your chair because you got a piece so

142
00:12:20.360 --> 00:12:24.679
bad, but you don't want to
miss anything. So what we did for

143
00:12:24.759 --> 00:12:31.039
this one because of the content,
because this was the Derek Todd Lee case

144
00:12:31.159 --> 00:12:35.519
specifically, we knew it would be
a while and we wanted to make sure

145
00:12:35.720 --> 00:12:41.399
that people had time to go to
the bathroom and wouldn't miss anything. So

146
00:12:41.480 --> 00:12:46.360
we did an intermission during the show
so that they could have the opportunity to

147
00:12:46.399 --> 00:12:50.039
do that. And I think that
worked out very well and it was a

148
00:12:50.080 --> 00:12:54.639
good call. So Kelly did her
thing. She had one hundred and fifteen

149
00:12:54.679 --> 00:13:01.360
slides, but it never did it
feel teachy. I guess she could say

150
00:13:01.519 --> 00:13:07.840
sometimes when you get those slides up, you're so drawn into those slides that

151
00:13:07.720 --> 00:13:11.720
people feel like they're being taught.
But Kelly is a you know, an

152
00:13:11.720 --> 00:13:18.919
amazing teacher. Obviously she's very unique
in the classroom as well, and so

153
00:13:18.120 --> 00:13:22.200
never did you feel like you were
being taught. She told the story that

154
00:13:22.440 --> 00:13:26.279
was just so you could see visuals
as she was telling it. She did

155
00:13:26.320 --> 00:13:33.000
a great job of that specifically,
So we hit the intermission and everybody did

156
00:13:33.039 --> 00:13:37.320
their business and they came back.
She wrapped it up and at the very

157
00:13:37.480 --> 00:13:41.840
end of it, since it's over
with, we can tell you this now,

158
00:13:41.480 --> 00:13:45.080
and I won't tell you too much
about this, but there were a

159
00:13:45.159 --> 00:13:50.960
couple of victims that survived the Derek
Todd Lee murders. They were attacked but

160
00:13:52.159 --> 00:13:56.960
survived. One of them, in
particular, was a unique attack out of

161
00:13:56.360 --> 00:14:03.200
Zachary Louisiana. Old girl and her
boyfriend got attacked. Kelly told that story

162
00:14:03.320 --> 00:14:07.799
during the live event and then at
the end she said, I want everybody

163
00:14:07.840 --> 00:14:13.879
to look around, and now this
woman is in her forties. Kelly tells

164
00:14:13.919 --> 00:14:18.440
everybody to look around the room because
someone in the room it was actually a

165
00:14:18.519 --> 00:14:24.960
victim of Derek todd Lees and it
was that sixteen year old girl from the

166
00:14:26.080 --> 00:14:33.639
time of all those horrific murders,
and she stood up and Kelly recognized her,

167
00:14:33.679 --> 00:14:41.519
and I thought that was phenomenal because
Kelly specifically makes a huge point to

168
00:14:41.600 --> 00:14:45.799
point out the victims. And she
was a victim, and she was a

169
00:14:45.879 --> 00:14:50.840
survivor, and she deserved every bit
of the standing innovation that she received,

170
00:14:50.840 --> 00:14:58.200
and she was there both nights for
this event, and I'm sure it was

171
00:14:58.240 --> 00:15:03.759
something. Look, as podcasters sometimes
we don't forget, but we need to

172
00:15:03.919 --> 00:15:11.240
remain cognizant to the stories that we're
telling and the families that we affect with

173
00:15:11.360 --> 00:15:16.000
that because there's victims on both sides. There's victims on the perpetrator side and

174
00:15:16.039 --> 00:15:22.919
there's victims on the side of the
people that are not the perpetrators, and

175
00:15:22.440 --> 00:15:26.840
she was one of those people,
and I'm sure it was very heavy for

176
00:15:26.960 --> 00:15:31.799
her, for lack of a better
word, and so shout out to her

177
00:15:33.000 --> 00:15:37.440
for being so awesome as to attend
those events. So the event wraps up,

178
00:15:39.360 --> 00:15:43.639
everybody leaves the actual auditorium itself.
Another thing that we do at these

179
00:15:43.679 --> 00:15:48.360
live events is, of course Kelly
wants to take as much time as she

180
00:15:48.440 --> 00:15:52.639
can with everybody that she can and
meet them, and she'll sign anything that

181
00:15:52.679 --> 00:15:56.919
you want her to sign, and
she'll take pictures with you and all those

182
00:15:56.919 --> 00:16:02.840
sorts of things. And we have
a back to set up in a specific

183
00:16:03.080 --> 00:16:07.720
room where you go to take those
pictures, and so you just line up,

184
00:16:07.759 --> 00:16:11.360
and you know, the line moves
really fast and you can take a

185
00:16:11.399 --> 00:16:14.720
picture, She'll visit with you for
a few minutes. It's just kind of

186
00:16:14.759 --> 00:16:19.600
an opportunity to be, you know, Upclace in personal with Kelly and spend

187
00:16:19.840 --> 00:16:25.000
just kind of a special moment.
And so that went very well. The

188
00:16:25.039 --> 00:16:29.480
line was long, but it moved
fast. Everybody went through and it was

189
00:16:29.559 --> 00:16:34.320
amazing, even from my perspective as
the podcast producer for Unspeakable, to meet

190
00:16:36.000 --> 00:16:40.639
people that you know, you see
their names on Facebook and you interact with

191
00:16:40.759 --> 00:16:44.120
them and get to meet these people
in person, and a special thing for

192
00:16:44.240 --> 00:16:47.960
us too as producers, is a
special thing for Kelly as a podcaster,

193
00:16:48.879 --> 00:16:55.120
and just an enjoyable experience all around
for everybody. I loved, love to

194
00:16:55.320 --> 00:17:00.399
love seeing the lifers come out in
force that you know through what are he

195
00:17:00.440 --> 00:17:06.319
Everton and myself that we've known from
real life or crime and Bloody in Gola

196
00:17:06.400 --> 00:17:11.920
that came out and supported Kelly.
Of course, Kelly kind of started,

197
00:17:11.240 --> 00:17:17.119
you know, she got her start
by coming on Bloodying and Gola and people

198
00:17:17.519 --> 00:17:22.319
just kind of falling in love with
her from hearing her appearances on Blooding and

199
00:17:22.359 --> 00:17:26.480
going That's I always knew Kelly would
make a good podcaster. I mentioned her

200
00:17:26.480 --> 00:17:30.279
in the very beginnings. A matter
of fact, I'm gonna tell that story

201
00:17:30.720 --> 00:17:34.200
right now, because you know,
I'm being wrong and scripted today like what

202
00:17:34.319 --> 00:17:38.960
he Everton does. If y'all those
of you that obviously there's a lot of

203
00:17:38.960 --> 00:17:42.960
fans that are familiar with Woody,
I'm gonna be rolling unscripted right now.

204
00:17:44.039 --> 00:17:48.119
So I'm gonna tell you a quick
story about that to tell you how Kelly

205
00:17:48.279 --> 00:17:52.920
ended up podcasting. I have a
podcast known as Local Leaders. It's a

206
00:17:53.000 --> 00:18:00.119
local business podcast where we feature family
owned businesses in the Livingston Parish, Baton

207
00:18:00.200 --> 00:18:06.240
Rouge, Prairieville area in our little
bit of area here in Louisiana, and

208
00:18:06.279 --> 00:18:10.720
we kind of tell their story.
And I had gotten very busy with that.

209
00:18:10.759 --> 00:18:15.400
We're blessed we see a lot of
success locally with that particular podcast,

210
00:18:15.039 --> 00:18:18.880
and I needed some help with sales. So I put out a little thing

211
00:18:18.920 --> 00:18:22.720
on Facebook and I said, Hey, this would be great for like a

212
00:18:22.839 --> 00:18:27.160
realator or a teacher, or someone
that's looking for like part time income in

213
00:18:27.200 --> 00:18:37.200
the summertimes if they would like to
sell spots on my podcast. And Kelly

214
00:18:37.359 --> 00:18:40.720
reached out to me on Facebook and
I didn't know her at the time.

215
00:18:40.960 --> 00:18:44.720
But Kelly reached out to me and
she said, hey, I can sell

216
00:18:44.759 --> 00:18:49.319
stuff. I mean literally, that's
you know, in only Kelly's particular way

217
00:18:51.640 --> 00:18:57.079
that she would do that. So
she reaches out. I respond back,

218
00:18:57.279 --> 00:19:03.440
Hey, I think I've recognize you
from your name from Woody Everton or whatever.

219
00:19:03.519 --> 00:19:06.480
We talked about that for a minute, and then she came in.

220
00:19:06.680 --> 00:19:12.400
She met with me, and she
started selling podcasts for me. The plan

221
00:19:12.559 --> 00:19:17.720
was for her to do that kind
of over the summers when she wasn't teaching.

222
00:19:18.279 --> 00:19:21.160
Well, the more I got to
know Kelly, I started thinking,

223
00:19:21.160 --> 00:19:25.880
Wow, this girl's got a unique
personality. And I could tell she spoke

224
00:19:26.000 --> 00:19:30.039
very well, and I also knew
she was a teacher. And teacher sometimes

225
00:19:30.200 --> 00:19:33.400
make for the best podcasters. Sometimes
they might make for the worst too,

226
00:19:33.440 --> 00:19:37.039
because sometimes they're a little bit too
teaching. But Kelly, I knew,

227
00:19:37.160 --> 00:19:45.759
was not in that boat. She
was a different breed a podcaster. It's

228
00:19:45.839 --> 00:19:48.279
just kind of like, man,
when you've been doing it, you know,

229
00:19:48.799 --> 00:19:52.200
as long as I have as far
as working with podcasters, I kind

230
00:19:52.200 --> 00:19:56.720
of have a good inkling right off
the bat when there's someone of her talent

231
00:19:56.839 --> 00:20:00.920
level. And I saw that very
early with Kelley and I started talking to

232
00:20:00.960 --> 00:20:03.319
her. I said, you know, you want to do a podcast,

233
00:20:03.359 --> 00:20:07.240
and she's like, uh, I
ain't doing a podcast because they're going to

234
00:20:07.279 --> 00:20:11.279
get all involved in your life.
And you know she was. She didn't

235
00:20:11.279 --> 00:20:15.079
want everybody knowing her business and all
that kind of stuff. And I started

236
00:20:15.160 --> 00:20:19.559
learning more about Kelly and her experience
with obviously corrections and all those sorts of

237
00:20:19.599 --> 00:20:26.000
things, and through that I had
her own Bloody and Gola and I'm sure

238
00:20:26.079 --> 00:20:29.759
some of you have heard those episodes
with me and Woody Everton, and she

239
00:20:29.799 --> 00:20:33.720
would tell some of her experiences when
she worked at Louisiana State Penitentiary and in

240
00:20:33.880 --> 00:20:37.000
Gola. The whole time, I'm
thinking, man, this girl has got

241
00:20:37.039 --> 00:20:40.680
to get her own podcasts. Well, I wasn't only one thinking that.

242
00:20:40.799 --> 00:20:44.319
A lot of the people that would
listen to Bloody and Gola would message you

243
00:20:44.400 --> 00:20:48.640
know, me or Woody or they
would put comments on Facebook when we would

244
00:20:48.680 --> 00:20:52.440
drop episodes. Oh we just love
Kelly have her on more often. Long

245
00:20:52.440 --> 00:20:56.160
story short, Eventually I talked her
into I said, look, it's just

246
00:20:56.200 --> 00:21:02.759
do one, just do one,
and she did and we dropped that first

247
00:21:02.799 --> 00:21:07.799
episode and it was for someone that
had never done a podcast before on their

248
00:21:07.839 --> 00:21:11.880
own, and it was kind of
their own branded podcast. It was very

249
00:21:11.960 --> 00:21:19.240
successful and Kelly and Envision Podcast Productions, my company, had been building that

250
00:21:19.359 --> 00:21:26.920
podcast ever since and it's just been
a huge blessing. But that's how she

251
00:21:27.119 --> 00:21:33.359
got started, was essentially just coming
in here to sell ads for local leaders.

252
00:21:33.440 --> 00:21:37.960
So it's funny how life works when
you think about it. What an

253
00:21:38.000 --> 00:21:44.519
amazing successful event. And if you
go to Facebook right now and you hashtag

254
00:21:44.640 --> 00:21:48.039
Unspeakable podcast or any of those sorts
of things, you're going to see people's

255
00:21:48.119 --> 00:21:52.960
pictures pop up. And everybody had
just a phenomenal time. The story was

256
00:21:53.039 --> 00:21:57.119
amazing, and I want to thank
y'all personally. We couldn't do this without

257
00:21:57.440 --> 00:22:06.200
the support of so many these live
events. They're absolutely critical to the success

258
00:22:06.640 --> 00:22:11.640
of any podcast. This takes an
exorbitant amount of time for all parties involved,

259
00:22:11.759 --> 00:22:18.559
and it's a lot of work.
So it's nice when you can hold

260
00:22:18.599 --> 00:22:23.000
events like this where you see the
appreciation for that on the faces of so

261
00:22:23.160 --> 00:22:26.720
many. So I want to give
you a quick note on some upcoming things

262
00:22:26.720 --> 00:22:32.000
that you can expect, and this
will be a little shorter podcast than you

263
00:22:32.000 --> 00:22:34.240
know typically Kelly will go an hour
to an hour and a half on her

264
00:22:34.319 --> 00:22:38.720
podcast. I'm not going to go
that long today, but I do want

265
00:22:38.799 --> 00:22:44.599
to mention that, as I told
you, the story was on Derek Toddley,

266
00:22:45.000 --> 00:22:48.359
you know, people from all around
it. Kelly has thousands and thousands

267
00:22:48.359 --> 00:22:52.279
of listeners, and a two night
event, you know, can hold that

268
00:22:52.319 --> 00:22:56.960
particular auditorium holds about one hundred and
fifty people per night, So three hundred

269
00:22:56.960 --> 00:23:03.640
people had the advantage of listening to
that podcast in person live and in person

270
00:23:03.759 --> 00:23:11.640
listening and watching it. But the
subject matter is such that, for two

271
00:23:11.759 --> 00:23:21.559
reasons, we're going to release a
podcast series based specifically around Derek todd Lee.

272
00:23:21.599 --> 00:23:25.240
The first reason is we want more
than three hundred people to be able

273
00:23:25.279 --> 00:23:32.839
to hear this story, especially from
the victim's perspective, and that's reason number

274
00:23:32.880 --> 00:23:40.440
one. Reason number two is there
are so many moving parts and pieces to

275
00:23:40.519 --> 00:23:45.960
that story. You just you could
podcast for six hours straight at a live

276
00:23:47.039 --> 00:23:51.240
event and never get to it all. There were a lot of things we

277
00:23:51.319 --> 00:23:57.839
had to leave out because time constraints
just limited that. Incidentally, that live

278
00:23:59.000 --> 00:24:03.759
podcast was about two hours and twenty
minutes or so. That's a lot of

279
00:24:03.799 --> 00:24:08.079
work for a podcaster to sit out
there and talk for that long, it's

280
00:24:08.119 --> 00:24:11.839
amazing. I haven't talked to her
today, this is Sunday, but I'm

281
00:24:11.880 --> 00:24:15.920
sure her voice is feeling it today
because that's a lot over a couple of

282
00:24:17.000 --> 00:24:22.640
days time. But you could go
for six hours, you still couldn't cover

283
00:24:22.680 --> 00:24:27.079
it all. So we're gonna release
what's known in the podcast world as a

284
00:24:27.279 --> 00:24:36.279
docuseries on Derek Todd Lee, and
it's gonna be uniquely produced. It'll be

285
00:24:36.480 --> 00:24:44.400
unlike something you've heard from Kelly before. It's gonna have background music behind it

286
00:24:44.480 --> 00:24:49.079
in parts. It'll be more like
a movie that you listen to if you

287
00:24:49.160 --> 00:25:00.440
will. It's gonna be a true
docuseries based around the murders committed by Derek

288
00:25:00.480 --> 00:25:06.039
Todd Lee and focusing on the victims
of those murders, So look for that.

289
00:25:06.279 --> 00:25:11.319
We don't have a release date yet, but we're going to start recording

290
00:25:11.359 --> 00:25:14.920
it. This will be something that
we're not gonna, you know, with

291
00:25:15.279 --> 00:25:21.480
Kelly's typical episodes, we record them
and release them and sometimes we might record

292
00:25:21.519 --> 00:25:23.839
on a Sunday. Well, a
lot of times we'll record on a Sunday

293
00:25:23.920 --> 00:25:29.880
and release it on Tuesdays. For
her Patreon members as an early commercial free

294
00:25:29.960 --> 00:25:33.680
release, and then we will release
the regular episode the next day for everybody

295
00:25:33.720 --> 00:25:38.839
that has commercials in it and things
like that. This particular docu series,

296
00:25:38.920 --> 00:25:42.680
we are going to pre record the
whole thing in advance. It just takes

297
00:25:42.720 --> 00:25:48.599
too long to highly produce these things
and put the background music behind them.

298
00:25:48.720 --> 00:25:52.200
She's going to come in. She's
going to record the entire series. Not

299
00:25:52.279 --> 00:25:56.680
quite sure how many episodes it will
be, but if I'm guessing, I'm

300
00:25:56.720 --> 00:26:02.359
thinking it'll be about ten episodes in
length. And then I will do all

301
00:26:02.559 --> 00:26:08.920
my magic and put the music behind
there and ramp up the audio and take

302
00:26:08.960 --> 00:26:15.480
out all the booms and make it
sound great, and we will start dropping

303
00:26:15.559 --> 00:26:18.799
it. So as we get closer
to time to do that, look for

304
00:26:18.880 --> 00:26:23.359
that to happen. I you know, I don't think it'll be too long

305
00:26:25.119 --> 00:26:30.880
if I'm guessing, and I would
say I'm aiming for June first for that

306
00:26:32.240 --> 00:26:36.319
series to start, but we will
certainly keep you posting on that, maybe

307
00:26:36.359 --> 00:26:41.319
earlier than June first. So again, I want to thank everybody for coming

308
00:26:41.359 --> 00:26:48.160
out from my company, Envision Podcast
Productions. We can't thank you enough.

309
00:26:48.279 --> 00:26:52.599
I know Kelly can't thank you enough, and I know the next episode she's

310
00:26:52.599 --> 00:26:56.559
going to come on here and thank
you all personally and and all of those

311
00:26:56.599 --> 00:27:03.079
sorts of things. So I don't
have a mic drop unfortunately, like Kelly

312
00:27:03.240 --> 00:27:07.839
does on her podcast, so I'll
just say thank you and much love,
