00:00:44The Fritzl Case Recap Begins
00:06:30Inside The Cellar And Two Families
00:12:05The Escape Trigger And Hospital Turning Point
00:17:55Where To Listen And How To Join
SELLEST OSAST
A man lives a public life with a wife, kids, tenants, holidays, and steady work, while a second family exists behind locked doors no one is allowed to open. That contradiction is what we can’t stop circling in this recap of the Josef Fritzl case, because the most terrifying part isn’t just the basement, it’s how believable the surface story becomes when everyone is trained to look away.
We walk through the core timeline in Amstetten, Austria: the early family dysfunction, the respectable mask, and the slow construction of a hidden cellar built to disappear a human being. We talk about the “cult” explanation that keeps questions quiet, the financial manipulation tied to renting and government support, and how secrecy becomes a system, not a single lie. If you’re searching for true crime podcast coverage of Josef Fritzl, Elizabeth Fritzl, captivity, coercive control, and long-term trauma, this conversation lays out the big beats and the moments that still don’t make sense.
Then we get to the human side we don’t want anyone to forget: children growing up without sunlight, the physical toll of deprivation, and the ways a mother fights to keep basic education and basic humanity alive in the worst conditions imaginable. We also cover the turning point that forces outside contact, and why a medical crisis and hospital scrutiny matter when a story has been “explained” for years.

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.919
Hey Jesse! Hey Lindsay! What are you drinking on this wonderful evening?
00:00:06.240 --> 00:00:08.320
Kentucky credential.
00:00:08.640 --> 00:00:10.480
And uh it's very good.
00:00:10.560 --> 00:00:13.039
It's it's double-barreled bourbon.
00:00:13.359 --> 00:00:14.640
Double barreled?
00:00:14.880 --> 00:00:17.359
Double barreled bourbon.
00:00:17.440 --> 00:00:23.839
So they take the bourbon out and they put it back in another barrel and then let it sit for another few seasons.
00:00:24.160 --> 00:00:24.879
Okay, okay.
00:00:25.120 --> 00:00:26.399
Yeah, eight-year-aged.
00:00:26.480 --> 00:00:28.160
So they probably did like four and four.
00:00:28.239 --> 00:00:29.039
It's really good.
00:00:29.280 --> 00:00:35.119
I'm having a malted beverage called white claw.
00:00:35.359 --> 00:00:42.560
Um, it is a peach and a mango with a peach five Celsius.
00:00:42.799 --> 00:00:43.200
Sweet!
00:00:44.240 --> 00:00:54.320
And we got recappage of horrific episodes that Lindsay put out and bestowed upon us that you can check out on drinkaboutsomething.
00:00:56.640 --> 00:01:10.239
Yes, so it is a two-parter about one vile human being named Josef Fritzel, who grew up during the Haw, well the World War II.
00:01:10.799 --> 00:01:30.319
And uh he grew up in Omstetten, and he I mean, it was a time of bombing, it was a time of war, and his mother neglected him, and she had uh a three, a three-level house.
00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:31.519
It was a very large house.
00:01:31.599 --> 00:01:34.879
Uh, we posted pictures of it in our stories.
00:01:34.959 --> 00:01:39.200
You can Google it, Yosef Rissel, it'll show you the layout of this house.
00:01:39.439 --> 00:01:40.640
Very large house.
00:01:40.879 --> 00:01:52.400
Um, she was told that she needed to take in people like refugees and things like that, and soldiers that needed space and her house got crowded.
00:01:54.000 --> 00:01:55.760
They took her to a concentration camp.
00:01:56.000 --> 00:01:56.719
They sure did.
00:01:56.959 --> 00:02:00.159
And separated Fritz Joseph and Yosef.
00:02:00.400 --> 00:02:01.680
Yos Joseph.
00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:02.480
Yosef.
00:02:02.719 --> 00:02:03.120
Yosef.
00:02:03.599 --> 00:02:04.480
The J is the Y.
00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:11.360
Separated them two, and he actually believed that she was actually uh excommunicatoed in the middle of that.
00:02:11.599 --> 00:02:12.159
Yes.
00:02:12.639 --> 00:02:15.759
And that was the beginning of the salad, I think.
00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:16.319
Maybe.
00:02:16.639 --> 00:02:17.199
Somewhere in there.
00:02:17.280 --> 00:02:17.919
Yeah, somewhere in there.
00:02:18.159 --> 00:02:21.199
Well, she was already um emotionally abusive.
00:02:22.000 --> 00:02:22.240
Yeah.
00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:25.439
So, yeah, and then physically as well.
00:02:25.759 --> 00:02:31.680
After all that, though, they kind of uh recoagulated back into the household, right?
00:02:31.919 --> 00:02:36.879
Well, yeah, so he thinks that she's deceased for quite some time, and then he finds out that she's not.
00:02:37.120 --> 00:02:38.479
He goes into foster care.
00:02:38.639 --> 00:02:41.680
Or no, I'm sorry, he goes into an orphanage, right?
00:02:41.840 --> 00:02:42.639
Not foster care.
00:02:42.800 --> 00:02:43.199
Yep.
00:02:43.439 --> 00:02:55.919
Um, his father had uh been unalived in action in World War II and had kind of already excommunicated what do you say?
00:02:56.159 --> 00:02:57.120
Excommunicanto.
00:02:57.439 --> 00:03:01.120
Yes, excommunicanto from the family before that.
00:03:01.599 --> 00:03:03.680
So he really didn't have a dad.
00:03:03.840 --> 00:03:22.719
His mom was not great, and they developed this very toxic mother-son relationship that in the book that I listened to called Secrets in the Cellar about this case, they referred to it as like a very toxic husband and wife type situation between a mother and son.
00:03:22.960 --> 00:03:30.800
Yeah, and then it traversed it to the point to where he actually did marry and a young, naive woman.
00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:32.639
He was 21, she was 17.
00:03:32.879 --> 00:03:35.759
Yeah, and he put his own mother in the attic.
00:03:36.319 --> 00:03:37.039
Yeah, later on.
00:03:37.120 --> 00:03:38.080
So he goes to Lintz.
00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:42.560
We're trying to rush all this into one big old pile of things because you can check out the whole two-part.
00:03:42.879 --> 00:03:46.879
Oh, yeah, we got a two-parter and on Drinkabout Something.sight.
00:03:47.360 --> 00:03:56.560
And so he goes to Lentz, which is in Upper Austria because Amstetin is in Lower Austria, and he gets a job as an electrical engineer.
00:03:56.719 --> 00:03:59.199
He's very smart, very talented at what he does.
00:03:59.360 --> 00:04:01.039
He's great at his trade.
00:04:01.360 --> 00:04:03.599
He meets and marries Rosemie.
00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:08.639
Him and Rosemarie go on to have seven children.
00:04:08.879 --> 00:04:16.639
But in the time span that he had that these children are being born and he's becoming a family man and he's working and doing all the things.
00:04:16.959 --> 00:04:27.439
He's also being um uh a deviant, and there's certain words we can't say on these apps, so you will have to listen to our full two-part episode to find out what kind of deviant.
00:04:27.920 --> 00:04:35.680
Which should have been the breaking point between their whole relationship, but she accepted it after his uh imprisonment and jail time.
00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:39.199
He goes, yes, he does go to prison for 18 months over this deviant seat.
00:04:39.680 --> 00:04:53.759
He comes back and and she still accepts it, and then um he eventually kind of decided that he had no more desire for her, and when his own child got old enough, that's where things were.
00:04:53.839 --> 00:04:55.360
Well, not really old enough at all.
00:04:55.519 --> 00:04:57.279
No, or she was 11 years old.
00:04:57.439 --> 00:04:58.399
No, not old enough.
00:04:58.560 --> 00:04:59.519
Not at all old enough.
00:04:59.680 --> 00:05:00.399
Not old enough.
00:05:00.639 --> 00:05:02.879
Um, maybe in his mind, but not at all.
00:05:03.120 --> 00:05:03.279
No.
00:05:03.439 --> 00:05:03.600
No.
00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:04.720
Disgusting.
00:05:05.040 --> 00:05:14.959
So he uh develops an obsession for his fourth child, Elizabeth Fretzel, and then he starts to develop a cellar.
00:05:15.519 --> 00:05:33.759
And it takes him six years to complete this project, and from eleven, from Elizabeth's uh age eleven to eighteen, uh he he he builds the cellar and use the government's money actually because of the Cold War.
00:05:34.079 --> 00:05:42.240
Making it a shelter, and it is a full-on complex that has eight doors to it, and that was really disgusting.
00:05:42.480 --> 00:05:45.199
Eight doors and then a bookshelf to hide.
00:05:45.519 --> 00:05:48.000
Yeah, and that's what I call the ninth gate.
00:05:48.240 --> 00:05:51.519
Yes, because it was Elizabeth's ninth gate to hell.
00:05:52.800 --> 00:05:54.480
And yeah, it's really horrific.
00:05:54.560 --> 00:05:55.759
You can check that stuff out.
00:05:55.920 --> 00:05:57.519
We're kind of recapping it real quick.
00:05:57.680 --> 00:05:59.759
Thank you guys for joining on the lives right now.
00:05:59.920 --> 00:06:02.000
Yes, and uh, thank you guys on YouTube.
00:06:02.399 --> 00:06:03.839
Share our stuff and follow us.
00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:11.519
We're true crime podcasters, and we uh also share a band at the end of usually every episode on Fridays, it comes out.
00:06:11.839 --> 00:06:16.720
Joseph Joseph Joseph Fritzel is what we're talking about.
00:06:16.879 --> 00:06:23.680
And it's horrific, Lindsay, because now she is in the basement, is where we're at right now.
00:06:23.839 --> 00:06:28.079
Actually, in the in the uh in the in at the at after the ninth gate in the cellar.
00:06:28.399 --> 00:06:28.800
In the cellar.
00:06:29.040 --> 00:06:32.240
And he the storm shelter or the bomb shit.
00:06:32.800 --> 00:06:41.680
Yeah, he kidnaps his own daughter, takes her down to the cellar on her when she turns 18, right before she's about to leave the home.
00:06:41.839 --> 00:06:43.519
She's an adult, she's ready to go.
00:06:43.920 --> 00:06:47.839
He passes it off as she's missing and she has joined a cult.
00:06:48.079 --> 00:07:04.959
And she is young and impressionable, and he is putting so much on her in fear and so many things that he portrays his crazy fantasies and disgusting way of life for her for the next 24 years.
00:07:05.199 --> 00:07:05.600
Yes.
00:07:05.759 --> 00:07:06.319
Yes.
00:07:06.879 --> 00:07:16.399
So he has seven children above ground and he makes seven children underground.
00:07:16.720 --> 00:07:18.319
And two whole families, yeah.
00:07:18.560 --> 00:07:19.360
Two whole families.
00:07:19.519 --> 00:07:31.040
And like I said, he has made the his wife, the police, the town of Omseton believe that Elizabeth has run away and joined this cult.
00:07:31.360 --> 00:07:40.399
And then after she has child number three, he brings that child to raise for him and Rosemary to raise, basically Rosemary.
00:07:40.879 --> 00:07:45.920
And he also does that with child four and five.
00:07:46.639 --> 00:07:52.959
And five is born with a twin, and we're not gonna say what happened to that twin on here.
00:07:53.360 --> 00:07:55.680
You do have to go check out the full story.
00:07:56.399 --> 00:07:58.879
I was broken so many times during this.
00:07:59.360 --> 00:08:02.000
This was one of the worst cases that we've covered.
00:08:02.319 --> 00:08:06.879
You kinda, you kinda messed me up a little bit there, Lindsay, in this one.
00:08:07.120 --> 00:08:08.000
Pretty bad.
00:08:08.160 --> 00:08:10.319
Yeah, both episodes, really.
00:08:10.560 --> 00:08:17.920
And it was not a fun journey, but sharing the true crime in the middle of all that and getting that out in awareness.
00:08:18.560 --> 00:08:19.439
Uh, what else?
00:08:19.680 --> 00:08:20.639
I mean, what else can you do?
00:08:20.720 --> 00:08:22.959
These young and impressionable children, dude.
00:08:23.360 --> 00:08:24.800
Look out for your neighbors, I guess.
00:08:24.879 --> 00:08:25.120
I don't know.
00:08:25.199 --> 00:08:25.680
I mean, are we?
00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:30.800
Well, okay, so to be fair, so Yosef had apartments.
00:08:30.879 --> 00:08:44.639
Yeah, so he rented out uh certain parts of his main house, and then he built apartments, and he told all of his tenants, so he rented them out specifically to government subsidized people.
00:08:44.960 --> 00:08:50.639
It was a cash grab because he was actually even using his other ch children with his own daughter.
00:08:50.879 --> 00:08:52.639
He ends up bringing three upstairs.
00:08:52.879 --> 00:08:59.200
Yeah, it's disgusting because like he uh he adopted one and then he fostered the next one.
00:08:59.440 --> 00:09:03.600
Because he found out that he gets more money for fostering than adopting, so it was just a cash.
00:09:04.080 --> 00:09:04.720
Which is horrible.
00:09:04.799 --> 00:09:11.440
And these are his children that he's passing off as his grandchildren from a daughter that ran away to a cult.
00:09:11.759 --> 00:09:14.559
So that's terrible in and of itself.
00:09:14.720 --> 00:09:15.039
Yeah.
00:09:15.200 --> 00:09:17.440
And and he's making money off of it.
00:09:17.600 --> 00:09:23.200
And like I said, he's renting only renting to people that are receiving government checks every month.
00:09:23.440 --> 00:09:25.600
So he is guaranteed to get paid.
00:09:25.840 --> 00:09:33.039
It's a cash grabbing dude is just like living some lavish, ash life stuff, traveling around and doing all kinds of disgusting things while his own daughter.
00:09:33.440 --> 00:09:36.960
Yeah, he goes on holiday to Thailand several times.
00:09:37.679 --> 00:09:43.360
In the ninth gate of hell and hasn't seen sunlight for many, many years.
00:09:43.600 --> 00:09:46.799
Yeah, so Elizabeth hadn't seen it since she was 18.
00:09:47.039 --> 00:09:50.960
She doesn't get released from this prison until she is 42.
00:09:51.200 --> 00:09:58.320
Her children that are raised under in the cellar, they have never seen the light of day.
00:09:58.480 --> 00:10:06.080
They're vitamin deficient, they are ingesting mold and sludge and the moisture and all the stuff.
00:10:06.399 --> 00:10:11.440
There's not a lot of oxygen, so they are just worn out at all times, all the time.
00:10:11.519 --> 00:10:13.440
But Elizabeth, she's amazing.
00:10:13.600 --> 00:10:21.519
And the children that she does raise in the cellar, she is teaching them basic, you know, education.
00:10:21.759 --> 00:10:22.799
And basic humanity.
00:10:23.039 --> 00:10:28.399
Basic humanity revert against all of the horrific things of livelihood that they're in the middle of.
00:10:28.639 --> 00:10:35.919
And she is like trying to make better of the situation because they're just like, that's grandpa.
00:10:36.240 --> 00:10:45.840
Yeah, so the down, the under the cellar children call him grandpa, and Elizabeth makes sure that they never know that they are being held prisoner.
00:10:46.080 --> 00:10:49.200
And then the upstairs kids call him dad.
00:10:49.360 --> 00:10:49.679
Yeah.
00:10:49.919 --> 00:10:51.039
So it's crazy.
00:10:52.559 --> 00:10:59.679
And the pictures and everything that you shared on their social medias, which you can go to uh drink about something on Instagram.
00:10:59.919 --> 00:11:01.440
Yes, drink about something on Instagram.
00:11:01.600 --> 00:11:13.200
And you can check out the socials and what we have shared on some of that and the pictures, and this dude's just living it up, but he has this whole horrific dungeon that he has his own daughter in.
00:11:13.440 --> 00:11:19.120
And there are other crimes that happen throughout these years that he will later be tried for.
00:11:19.360 --> 00:11:29.679
They weren't pinned to him, but the coincidences of these crimes are just too big to say that he wasn't the one that committed them.
00:11:30.000 --> 00:11:32.000
Does that look good on the time there?
00:11:32.320 --> 00:11:33.519
I think it says 11 minutes.
00:11:33.679 --> 00:11:34.000
Oh, good.
00:11:34.399 --> 00:11:34.720
11 minutes.
00:11:45.759 --> 00:11:46.720
Well party.
00:11:47.200 --> 00:12:02.320
So a decade into Elizabeth's imprisonment, um, he finally, Yosef brings down a TV and a VCR, which he uses to his own advantage for certain disgusting, vile things.
00:12:02.559 --> 00:12:09.600
Um, but this is when he's not around, because honestly, he's actually gone a lot, which is great for them.
00:12:09.840 --> 00:12:12.240
He's got all kinds of money on holiday.
00:12:12.480 --> 00:12:19.919
Yeah, he goes, like I said, he goes to Thailand a lot, he goes to Italy, um, and then he works, you know, his his regular job.
00:12:20.639 --> 00:12:34.720
And so the kids underground, they they watch TV, and it's basically like uh what it was described as basically like looking at something from another planet.
00:12:34.879 --> 00:12:38.000
Yeah, because they don't know trees any of this stuff.
00:12:38.399 --> 00:12:39.360
They did not even know.
00:12:39.600 --> 00:12:43.200
They didn't know a moon, the sun, trees, anything.
00:12:43.600 --> 00:12:44.399
A park existed.
00:12:46.559 --> 00:12:47.120
All they've got.
00:12:48.320 --> 00:12:58.559
Education, schools, whatever, just whatever her, whatever their mom bestowed upon them in the middle of a and she would teach them days and weeks and months and years.
00:12:58.720 --> 00:13:03.200
She would teach them about the sunrise, the sunset, and the moon, but they've never seen these things.
00:13:03.759 --> 00:13:04.639
But what does it look like?
00:13:04.799 --> 00:13:05.519
They don't know.
00:13:05.919 --> 00:13:06.480
They don't know.
00:13:06.639 --> 00:13:14.080
And they're they're at they actually did get a TV, and eventually they actually seen things that were happening on the TV that pertained to them.
00:13:14.639 --> 00:13:15.200
Right.
00:13:15.440 --> 00:13:19.679
So later on, and this is a story that we're gonna cover in the future.
00:13:19.840 --> 00:13:27.440
There's actually another woman in Austria that was also being held captive.
00:13:27.759 --> 00:13:28.399
What?
00:13:29.759 --> 00:13:36.159
Um by not we're gonna cover the full story later on, so I'm not gonna say the name because it will be a future case.
00:13:36.480 --> 00:13:51.759
So she was she got away in 2006, and that is when Joseph knew that he needed to find a way to bring his underground family to the surface.
00:13:52.000 --> 00:13:57.279
And he pondered on it for a while because you know, like time didn't mean anything to him.
00:13:57.440 --> 00:14:01.039
He's just going on, he's going on trips, he's doing his thing, he's living his life.
00:14:01.279 --> 00:14:08.000
But he's older, so he's like how do we take care of this, other other than actually getting rid of his family.
00:14:08.080 --> 00:14:09.039
And he was not sure about the other thing.
00:14:09.279 --> 00:14:12.480
Because it was a huge, it was a huge conquest.
00:14:12.799 --> 00:14:14.240
I don't want to say conquest.
00:14:14.399 --> 00:14:20.639
It was a huge thing that he had to deal with uh because he's taking care of two families.
00:14:20.799 --> 00:14:27.200
And to take care of the underground family, he had to go out of town to stock up and buy groceries.
00:14:27.519 --> 00:14:32.480
And then he even remembers that he's got keys to his tenants' home.
00:14:32.559 --> 00:14:44.799
So he actually starts stealing from them to bring his underground family uh fresh food because most of everything that they ate was microwaveable or frozen, you know, easy dinners.
00:14:44.960 --> 00:14:45.279
Yeah.
00:14:45.600 --> 00:14:47.519
Which you can only do TV dinners.
00:14:47.679 --> 00:14:51.360
Well, yeah, TV dinners, frozen entrees, things like that.
00:14:51.519 --> 00:14:51.840
Yeah.
00:14:52.080 --> 00:14:56.879
So he steals from his tenants who think they're losing their mind.
00:14:57.360 --> 00:14:59.360
And he's like, no, there's nobody here.
00:14:59.519 --> 00:14:59.840
Right.
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:03.120
Which is probably in the same building because he was renting out some rooms in his own house.
00:15:03.360 --> 00:15:08.159
Yeah, he rent out rooms in his own house and he and he had he made he built an apartment block.
00:15:08.320 --> 00:15:08.639
Yeah.
00:15:09.039 --> 00:15:23.440
And then and they're watching him take stuff all in large quantities down to the cellar, but everybody was forbidden, even his immediate family, from setting foot in his cellar.
00:15:23.679 --> 00:15:35.039
And there was a time period after Rosemary had had their seventh child that he said, I don't want you no more, and I'm gonna get my own living quarters, and that was his living quarters.
00:15:36.399 --> 00:15:48.799
And I feel like that's why I said watch your neighbors, because he had tenants in his own house that should be watching his neighbors, and his own wife should have spoken up because in the end, she's gonna be.
00:15:48.960 --> 00:15:52.960
But we don't we don't victim because she's a victim in this too, so we're not gonna victim blame her at all.
00:15:53.360 --> 00:15:54.879
He was a victim 100%.
00:15:55.440 --> 00:16:05.200
But there were things that she should have spoken up about years before years prior, and her sister, who is a big part of the aftermath, said so.
00:16:05.360 --> 00:16:08.480
She's like, We told her to get the fuck out a long time ago.
00:16:09.440 --> 00:16:09.759
Yes.
00:16:10.000 --> 00:16:10.320
Okay.
00:16:11.039 --> 00:16:30.240
So after the one girl gets set free that we're gonna talk about in in in season three, uh, when she gets set free and Joseph Fritzel finds out about this girl that's been held in a dungeon for 10 years, um he's like, Oh my god, I need to resurface my underground family.
00:16:30.720 --> 00:16:32.320
So he comes up with a plan.
00:16:32.480 --> 00:16:37.600
He's like, I'm going to have Elizabeth write a letter and say, I'm tired of the cult.
00:16:37.840 --> 00:16:39.279
I'm gonna come home with my kids.
00:16:39.440 --> 00:16:59.600
But before that can happen, before Joseph, like, because like I said, he just kind of dilly dabbles about this plan, Kirsten gets really sick and she has a whole mental breakdown because internally her body is shutting down from years of being neglected and vitamin deficient.
00:17:00.080 --> 00:17:09.200
So she has a mental breakdown and she's really, really sick, and Joseph or Elizabeth begs Joseph to take her to a proper hospital.
00:17:09.519 --> 00:17:12.559
After some time, he agrees, he takes her.
00:17:12.799 --> 00:17:20.160
And then when she gets to the hospital, the hospital's like, oh my God, this is more than Colt's neglect.
00:17:20.400 --> 00:17:20.640
Way more.
00:17:21.039 --> 00:17:22.160
There's more to the story here.
00:17:22.640 --> 00:17:25.680
We're spitballing a lot of information, all in a recap.
00:17:25.839 --> 00:17:29.039
You can check out both episodes at drinkaboutsomething.
00:17:29.920 --> 00:17:33.200
Because we're gonna wrap it up because we want you to listen to those episodes.
00:17:33.440 --> 00:17:39.839
So you have to find out what happens after this family does resurface.
00:17:40.000 --> 00:17:49.200
Elizabeth resurfaced after 24 years with her three children that have never seen the light of day in 2008.
00:17:49.839 --> 00:17:58.640
And it is quite the journey that this entire family has afterwards.
00:17:59.039 --> 00:18:08.000
It's a lot of aftermath, and the journey of being downstairs was it was a lot of things.
00:18:08.160 --> 00:18:10.640
There's no words for how terrible it was, honestly.
00:18:10.960 --> 00:18:12.960
And the words terrible is an understatement.
00:18:16.319 --> 00:18:17.920
I didn't want to be part of that one.
00:18:18.160 --> 00:18:19.119
I did not.
00:18:19.680 --> 00:18:28.400
But we do feature two amazing bands on both of those episodes that you also have to listen to to catch because let me tell you something.
00:18:28.559 --> 00:18:30.720
People will say there's not good music anymore.
00:18:30.880 --> 00:18:31.680
There is.
00:18:32.319 --> 00:18:41.920
And listening to our episodes, you get a story and you get a new upcoming band that you've never heard before, probably most likely.
00:18:42.240 --> 00:18:43.359
I hope some of you have.
00:18:43.599 --> 00:18:44.319
I hope you have.
00:18:44.480 --> 00:18:49.599
I hope you're that cool that you know, already know some of these bands that we have featured.
00:18:50.079 --> 00:18:53.119
But if you're looking for new music, I'm finding them.
00:18:53.519 --> 00:19:00.000
Well, I've I have brought a lot to Jesse's attention because I'm chronically online because of researching and things.

That's what we want to do.
00:20:02.640 --> 00:20:08.480
Or if there's a specific case that you want to hear me tell Jesse to because he don't know shit.
00:20:08.640 --> 00:20:09.200
I do not.
00:20:09.279 --> 00:20:11.440
And that's what this is the thing.
00:20:11.519 --> 00:20:18.319
I just wanted to tell my husband the tea, but I'm like, I gotta write it down to tell you all the details.
00:20:18.480 --> 00:20:20.079
And then I'm like, oh my God.
00:20:20.640 --> 00:20:21.440
You destroyed it.
00:20:22.240 --> 00:20:22.799
You destroyed it.
00:20:22.960 --> 00:20:26.720
Let's do the podcast and let's talk about some bands too, because we love music.
00:20:26.880 --> 00:20:27.039
Yeah.
00:20:27.119 --> 00:20:28.799
So is that time to hit that red button up there?
00:20:28.960 --> 00:20:30.079
I think it's time to hit that red button.
00:20:30.240 --> 00:20:31.680
So we love you so much on there.
00:20:32.000 --> 00:20:32.960
Bye on that one.
00:20:33.279 --> 00:20:34.240
Bye on YouTube.
00:20:34.720 --> 00:20:35.039
Yay.
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.919
Hey Jesse! Hey Lindsay! What are you drinking on this wonderful evening?
00:00:06.240 --> 00:00:08.320
Kentucky credential.
00:00:08.640 --> 00:00:10.480
And uh it's very good.
00:00:10.560 --> 00:00:13.039
It's it's double-barreled bourbon.
00:00:13.359 --> 00:00:14.640
Double barreled?
00:00:14.880 --> 00:00:17.359
Double barreled bourbon.
00:00:17.440 --> 00:00:23.839
So they take the bourbon out and they put it back in another barrel and then let it sit for another few seasons.
00:00:24.160 --> 00:00:24.879
Okay, okay.
00:00:25.120 --> 00:00:26.399
Yeah, eight-year-aged.
00:00:26.480 --> 00:00:28.160
So they probably did like four and four.
00:00:28.239 --> 00:00:29.039
It's really good.
00:00:29.280 --> 00:00:35.119
I'm having a malted beverage called white claw.
00:00:35.359 --> 00:00:42.560
Um, it is a peach and a mango with a peach five Celsius.
00:00:42.799 --> 00:00:43.200
Sweet!
00:00:44.240 --> 00:00:54.320
And we got recappage of horrific episodes that Lindsay put out and bestowed upon us that you can check out on drinkaboutsomething.
00:00:56.640 --> 00:01:10.239
Yes, so it is a two-parter about one vile human being named Josef Fritzel, who grew up during the Haw, well the World War II.
00:01:10.799 --> 00:01:30.319
And uh he grew up in Omstetten, and he I mean, it was a time of bombing, it was a time of war, and his mother neglected him, and she had uh a three, a three-level house.
00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:31.519
It was a very large house.
00:01:31.599 --> 00:01:34.879
Uh, we posted pictures of it in our stories.
00:01:34.959 --> 00:01:39.200
You can Google it, Yosef Rissel, it'll show you the layout of this house.
00:01:39.439 --> 00:01:40.640
Very large house.
00:01:40.879 --> 00:01:52.400
Um, she was told that she needed to take in people like refugees and things like that, and soldiers that needed space and her house got crowded.
00:01:54.000 --> 00:01:55.760
They took her to a concentration camp.
00:01:56.000 --> 00:01:56.719
They sure did.
00:01:56.959 --> 00:02:00.159
And separated Fritz Joseph and Yosef.
00:02:00.400 --> 00:02:01.680
Yos Joseph.
00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:02.480
Yosef.
00:02:02.719 --> 00:02:03.120
Yosef.
00:02:03.599 --> 00:02:04.480
The J is the Y.
00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:11.360
Separated them two, and he actually believed that she was actually uh excommunicatoed in the middle of that.
00:02:11.599 --> 00:02:12.159
Yes.
00:02:12.639 --> 00:02:15.759
And that was the beginning of the salad, I think.
00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:16.319
Maybe.
00:02:16.639 --> 00:02:17.199
Somewhere in there.
00:02:17.280 --> 00:02:17.919
Yeah, somewhere in there.
00:02:18.159 --> 00:02:21.199
Well, she was already um emotionally abusive.
00:02:22.000 --> 00:02:22.240
Yeah.
00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:25.439
So, yeah, and then physically as well.
00:02:25.759 --> 00:02:31.680
After all that, though, they kind of uh recoagulated back into the household, right?
00:02:31.919 --> 00:02:36.879
Well, yeah, so he thinks that she's deceased for quite some time, and then he finds out that she's not.
00:02:37.120 --> 00:02:38.479
He goes into foster care.
00:02:38.639 --> 00:02:41.680
Or no, I'm sorry, he goes into an orphanage, right?
00:02:41.840 --> 00:02:42.639
Not foster care.
00:02:42.800 --> 00:02:43.199
Yep.
00:02:43.439 --> 00:02:55.919
Um, his father had uh been unalived in action in World War II and had kind of already excommunicated what do you say?
00:02:56.159 --> 00:02:57.120
Excommunicanto.
00:02:57.439 --> 00:03:01.120
Yes, excommunicanto from the family before that.
00:03:01.599 --> 00:03:03.680
So he really didn't have a dad.
00:03:03.840 --> 00:03:22.719
His mom was not great, and they developed this very toxic mother-son relationship that in the book that I listened to called Secrets in the Cellar about this case, they referred to it as like a very toxic husband and wife type situation between a mother and son.
00:03:22.960 --> 00:03:30.800
Yeah, and then it traversed it to the point to where he actually did marry and a young, naive woman.
00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:32.639
He was 21, she was 17.
00:03:32.879 --> 00:03:35.759
Yeah, and he put his own mother in the attic.
00:03:36.319 --> 00:03:37.039
Yeah, later on.
00:03:37.120 --> 00:03:38.080
So he goes to Lintz.
00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:42.560
We're trying to rush all this into one big old pile of things because you can check out the whole two-part.
00:03:42.879 --> 00:03:46.879
Oh, yeah, we got a two-parter and on Drinkabout Something.sight.
00:03:47.360 --> 00:03:56.560
And so he goes to Lentz, which is in Upper Austria because Amstetin is in Lower Austria, and he gets a job as an electrical engineer.
00:03:56.719 --> 00:03:59.199
He's very smart, very talented at what he does.
00:03:59.360 --> 00:04:01.039
He's great at his trade.
00:04:01.360 --> 00:04:03.599
He meets and marries Rosemie.
00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:08.639
Him and Rosemarie go on to have seven children.
00:04:08.879 --> 00:04:16.639
But in the time span that he had that these children are being born and he's becoming a family man and he's working and doing all the things.
00:04:16.959 --> 00:04:27.439
He's also being um uh a deviant, and there's certain words we can't say on these apps, so you will have to listen to our full two-part episode to find out what kind of deviant.
00:04:27.920 --> 00:04:35.680
Which should have been the breaking point between their whole relationship, but she accepted it after his uh imprisonment and jail time.
00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:39.199
He goes, yes, he does go to prison for 18 months over this deviant seat.
00:04:39.680 --> 00:04:53.759
He comes back and and she still accepts it, and then um he eventually kind of decided that he had no more desire for her, and when his own child got old enough, that's where things were.
00:04:53.839 --> 00:04:55.360
Well, not really old enough at all.
00:04:55.519 --> 00:04:57.279
No, or she was 11 years old.
00:04:57.439 --> 00:04:58.399
No, not old enough.
00:04:58.560 --> 00:04:59.519
Not at all old enough.
00:04:59.680 --> 00:05:00.399
Not old enough.
00:05:00.639 --> 00:05:02.879
Um, maybe in his mind, but not at all.
00:05:03.120 --> 00:05:03.279
No.
00:05:03.439 --> 00:05:03.600
No.
00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:04.720
Disgusting.
00:05:05.040 --> 00:05:14.959
So he uh develops an obsession for his fourth child, Elizabeth Fretzel, and then he starts to develop a cellar.
00:05:15.519 --> 00:05:33.759
And it takes him six years to complete this project, and from eleven, from Elizabeth's uh age eleven to eighteen, uh he he he builds the cellar and use the government's money actually because of the Cold War.
00:05:34.079 --> 00:05:42.240
Making it a shelter, and it is a full-on complex that has eight doors to it, and that was really disgusting.
00:05:42.480 --> 00:05:45.199
Eight doors and then a bookshelf to hide.
00:05:45.519 --> 00:05:48.000
Yeah, and that's what I call the ninth gate.
00:05:48.240 --> 00:05:51.519
Yes, because it was Elizabeth's ninth gate to hell.
00:05:52.800 --> 00:05:54.480
And yeah, it's really horrific.
00:05:54.560 --> 00:05:55.759
You can check that stuff out.
00:05:55.920 --> 00:05:57.519
We're kind of recapping it real quick.
00:05:57.680 --> 00:05:59.759
Thank you guys for joining on the lives right now.
00:05:59.920 --> 00:06:02.000
Yes, and uh, thank you guys on YouTube.
00:06:02.399 --> 00:06:03.839
Share our stuff and follow us.
00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:11.519
We're true crime podcasters, and we uh also share a band at the end of usually every episode on Fridays, it comes out.
00:06:11.839 --> 00:06:16.720
Joseph Joseph Joseph Fritzel is what we're talking about.
00:06:16.879 --> 00:06:23.680
And it's horrific, Lindsay, because now she is in the basement, is where we're at right now.
00:06:23.839 --> 00:06:28.079
Actually, in the in the uh in the in at the at after the ninth gate in the cellar.
00:06:28.399 --> 00:06:28.800
In the cellar.
00:06:29.040 --> 00:06:32.240
And he the storm shelter or the bomb shit.
00:06:32.800 --> 00:06:41.680
Yeah, he kidnaps his own daughter, takes her down to the cellar on her when she turns 18, right before she's about to leave the home.
00:06:41.839 --> 00:06:43.519
She's an adult, she's ready to go.
00:06:43.920 --> 00:06:47.839
He passes it off as she's missing and she has joined a cult.
00:06:48.079 --> 00:07:04.959
And she is young and impressionable, and he is putting so much on her in fear and so many things that he portrays his crazy fantasies and disgusting way of life for her for the next 24 years.
00:07:05.199 --> 00:07:05.600
Yes.
00:07:05.759 --> 00:07:06.319
Yes.
00:07:06.879 --> 00:07:16.399
So he has seven children above ground and he makes seven children underground.
00:07:16.720 --> 00:07:18.319
And two whole families, yeah.
00:07:18.560 --> 00:07:19.360
Two whole families.
00:07:19.519 --> 00:07:31.040
And like I said, he has made the his wife, the police, the town of Omseton believe that Elizabeth has run away and joined this cult.
00:07:31.360 --> 00:07:40.399
And then after she has child number three, he brings that child to raise for him and Rosemary to raise, basically Rosemary.
00:07:40.879 --> 00:07:45.920
And he also does that with child four and five.
00:07:46.639 --> 00:07:52.959
And five is born with a twin, and we're not gonna say what happened to that twin on here.
00:07:53.360 --> 00:07:55.680
You do have to go check out the full story.
00:07:56.399 --> 00:07:58.879
I was broken so many times during this.
00:07:59.360 --> 00:08:02.000
This was one of the worst cases that we've covered.
00:08:02.319 --> 00:08:06.879
You kinda, you kinda messed me up a little bit there, Lindsay, in this one.
00:08:07.120 --> 00:08:08.000
Pretty bad.
00:08:08.160 --> 00:08:10.319
Yeah, both episodes, really.
00:08:10.560 --> 00:08:17.920
And it was not a fun journey, but sharing the true crime in the middle of all that and getting that out in awareness.
00:08:18.560 --> 00:08:19.439
Uh, what else?
00:08:19.680 --> 00:08:20.639
I mean, what else can you do?
00:08:20.720 --> 00:08:22.959
These young and impressionable children, dude.
00:08:23.360 --> 00:08:24.800
Look out for your neighbors, I guess.
00:08:24.879 --> 00:08:25.120
I don't know.
00:08:25.199 --> 00:08:25.680
I mean, are we?
00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:30.800
Well, okay, so to be fair, so Yosef had apartments.
00:08:30.879 --> 00:08:44.639
Yeah, so he rented out uh certain parts of his main house, and then he built apartments, and he told all of his tenants, so he rented them out specifically to government subsidized people.
00:08:44.960 --> 00:08:50.639
It was a cash grab because he was actually even using his other ch children with his own daughter.
00:08:50.879 --> 00:08:52.639
He ends up bringing three upstairs.
00:08:52.879 --> 00:08:59.200
Yeah, it's disgusting because like he uh he adopted one and then he fostered the next one.
00:08:59.440 --> 00:09:03.600
Because he found out that he gets more money for fostering than adopting, so it was just a cash.
00:09:04.080 --> 00:09:04.720
Which is horrible.
00:09:04.799 --> 00:09:11.440
And these are his children that he's passing off as his grandchildren from a daughter that ran away to a cult.
00:09:11.759 --> 00:09:14.559
So that's terrible in and of itself.
00:09:14.720 --> 00:09:15.039
Yeah.
00:09:15.200 --> 00:09:17.440
And and he's making money off of it.
00:09:17.600 --> 00:09:23.200
And like I said, he's renting only renting to people that are receiving government checks every month.
00:09:23.440 --> 00:09:25.600
So he is guaranteed to get paid.
00:09:25.840 --> 00:09:33.039
It's a cash grabbing dude is just like living some lavish, ash life stuff, traveling around and doing all kinds of disgusting things while his own daughter.
00:09:33.440 --> 00:09:36.960
Yeah, he goes on holiday to Thailand several times.
00:09:37.679 --> 00:09:43.360
In the ninth gate of hell and hasn't seen sunlight for many, many years.
00:09:43.600 --> 00:09:46.799
Yeah, so Elizabeth hadn't seen it since she was 18.
00:09:47.039 --> 00:09:50.960
She doesn't get released from this prison until she is 42.
00:09:51.200 --> 00:09:58.320
Her children that are raised under in the cellar, they have never seen the light of day.
00:09:58.480 --> 00:10:06.080
They're vitamin deficient, they are ingesting mold and sludge and the moisture and all the stuff.
00:10:06.399 --> 00:10:11.440
There's not a lot of oxygen, so they are just worn out at all times, all the time.
00:10:11.519 --> 00:10:13.440
But Elizabeth, she's amazing.
00:10:13.600 --> 00:10:21.519
And the children that she does raise in the cellar, she is teaching them basic, you know, education.
00:10:21.759 --> 00:10:22.799
And basic humanity.
00:10:23.039 --> 00:10:28.399
Basic humanity revert against all of the horrific things of livelihood that they're in the middle of.
00:10:28.639 --> 00:10:35.919
And she is like trying to make better of the situation because they're just like, that's grandpa.
00:10:36.240 --> 00:10:45.840
Yeah, so the down, the under the cellar children call him grandpa, and Elizabeth makes sure that they never know that they are being held prisoner.
00:10:46.080 --> 00:10:49.200
And then the upstairs kids call him dad.
00:10:49.360 --> 00:10:49.679
Yeah.
00:10:49.919 --> 00:10:51.039
So it's crazy.
00:10:52.559 --> 00:10:59.679
And the pictures and everything that you shared on their social medias, which you can go to uh drink about something on Instagram.
00:10:59.919 --> 00:11:01.440
Yes, drink about something on Instagram.
00:11:01.600 --> 00:11:13.200
And you can check out the socials and what we have shared on some of that and the pictures, and this dude's just living it up, but he has this whole horrific dungeon that he has his own daughter in.
00:11:13.440 --> 00:11:19.120
And there are other crimes that happen throughout these years that he will later be tried for.
00:11:19.360 --> 00:11:29.679
They weren't pinned to him, but the coincidences of these crimes are just too big to say that he wasn't the one that committed them.
00:11:30.000 --> 00:11:32.000
Does that look good on the time there?
00:11:32.320 --> 00:11:33.519
I think it says 11 minutes.
00:11:33.679 --> 00:11:34.000
Oh, good.
00:11:34.399 --> 00:11:34.720
11 minutes.
00:11:45.759 --> 00:11:46.720
Well party.
00:11:47.200 --> 00:12:02.320
So a decade into Elizabeth's imprisonment, um, he finally, Yosef brings down a TV and a VCR, which he uses to his own advantage for certain disgusting, vile things.
00:12:02.559 --> 00:12:09.600
Um, but this is when he's not around, because honestly, he's actually gone a lot, which is great for them.
00:12:09.840 --> 00:12:12.240
He's got all kinds of money on holiday.
00:12:12.480 --> 00:12:19.919
Yeah, he goes, like I said, he goes to Thailand a lot, he goes to Italy, um, and then he works, you know, his his regular job.
00:12:20.639 --> 00:12:34.720
And so the kids underground, they they watch TV, and it's basically like uh what it was described as basically like looking at something from another planet.
00:12:34.879 --> 00:12:38.000
Yeah, because they don't know trees any of this stuff.
00:12:38.399 --> 00:12:39.360
They did not even know.
00:12:39.600 --> 00:12:43.200
They didn't know a moon, the sun, trees, anything.
00:12:43.600 --> 00:12:44.399
A park existed.
00:12:46.559 --> 00:12:47.120
All they've got.
00:12:48.320 --> 00:12:58.559
Education, schools, whatever, just whatever her, whatever their mom bestowed upon them in the middle of a and she would teach them days and weeks and months and years.
00:12:58.720 --> 00:13:03.200
She would teach them about the sunrise, the sunset, and the moon, but they've never seen these things.
00:13:03.759 --> 00:13:04.639
But what does it look like?
00:13:04.799 --> 00:13:05.519
They don't know.
00:13:05.919 --> 00:13:06.480
They don't know.
00:13:06.639 --> 00:13:14.080
And they're they're at they actually did get a TV, and eventually they actually seen things that were happening on the TV that pertained to them.
00:13:14.639 --> 00:13:15.200
Right.
00:13:15.440 --> 00:13:19.679
So later on, and this is a story that we're gonna cover in the future.
00:13:19.840 --> 00:13:27.440
There's actually another woman in Austria that was also being held captive.
00:13:27.759 --> 00:13:28.399
What?
00:13:29.759 --> 00:13:36.159
Um by not we're gonna cover the full story later on, so I'm not gonna say the name because it will be a future case.
00:13:36.480 --> 00:13:51.759
So she was she got away in 2006, and that is when Joseph knew that he needed to find a way to bring his underground family to the surface.
00:13:52.000 --> 00:13:57.279
And he pondered on it for a while because you know, like time didn't mean anything to him.
00:13:57.440 --> 00:14:01.039
He's just going on, he's going on trips, he's doing his thing, he's living his life.
00:14:01.279 --> 00:14:08.000
But he's older, so he's like how do we take care of this, other other than actually getting rid of his family.
00:14:08.080 --> 00:14:09.039
And he was not sure about the other thing.
00:14:09.279 --> 00:14:12.480
Because it was a huge, it was a huge conquest.
00:14:12.799 --> 00:14:14.240
I don't want to say conquest.
00:14:14.399 --> 00:14:20.639
It was a huge thing that he had to deal with uh because he's taking care of two families.
00:14:20.799 --> 00:14:27.200
And to take care of the underground family, he had to go out of town to stock up and buy groceries.
00:14:27.519 --> 00:14:32.480
And then he even remembers that he's got keys to his tenants' home.
00:14:32.559 --> 00:14:44.799
So he actually starts stealing from them to bring his underground family uh fresh food because most of everything that they ate was microwaveable or frozen, you know, easy dinners.
00:14:44.960 --> 00:14:45.279
Yeah.
00:14:45.600 --> 00:14:47.519
Which you can only do TV dinners.
00:14:47.679 --> 00:14:51.360
Well, yeah, TV dinners, frozen entrees, things like that.
00:14:51.519 --> 00:14:51.840
Yeah.
00:14:52.080 --> 00:14:56.879
So he steals from his tenants who think they're losing their mind.
00:14:57.360 --> 00:14:59.360
And he's like, no, there's nobody here.
00:14:59.519 --> 00:14:59.840
Right.
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:03.120
Which is probably in the same building because he was renting out some rooms in his own house.
00:15:03.360 --> 00:15:08.159
Yeah, he rent out rooms in his own house and he and he had he made he built an apartment block.
00:15:08.320 --> 00:15:08.639
Yeah.
00:15:09.039 --> 00:15:23.440
And then and they're watching him take stuff all in large quantities down to the cellar, but everybody was forbidden, even his immediate family, from setting foot in his cellar.
00:15:23.679 --> 00:15:35.039
And there was a time period after Rosemary had had their seventh child that he said, I don't want you no more, and I'm gonna get my own living quarters, and that was his living quarters.
00:15:36.399 --> 00:15:48.799
And I feel like that's why I said watch your neighbors, because he had tenants in his own house that should be watching his neighbors, and his own wife should have spoken up because in the end, she's gonna be.
00:15:48.960 --> 00:15:52.960
But we don't we don't victim because she's a victim in this too, so we're not gonna victim blame her at all.
00:15:53.360 --> 00:15:54.879
He was a victim 100%.
00:15:55.440 --> 00:16:05.200
But there were things that she should have spoken up about years before years prior, and her sister, who is a big part of the aftermath, said so.
00:16:05.360 --> 00:16:08.480
She's like, We told her to get the fuck out a long time ago.
00:16:09.440 --> 00:16:09.759
Yes.
00:16:10.000 --> 00:16:10.320
Okay.
00:16:11.039 --> 00:16:30.240
So after the one girl gets set free that we're gonna talk about in in in season three, uh, when she gets set free and Joseph Fritzel finds out about this girl that's been held in a dungeon for 10 years, um he's like, Oh my god, I need to resurface my underground family.
00:16:30.720 --> 00:16:32.320
So he comes up with a plan.
00:16:32.480 --> 00:16:37.600
He's like, I'm going to have Elizabeth write a letter and say, I'm tired of the cult.
00:16:37.840 --> 00:16:39.279
I'm gonna come home with my kids.
00:16:39.440 --> 00:16:59.600
But before that can happen, before Joseph, like, because like I said, he just kind of dilly dabbles about this plan, Kirsten gets really sick and she has a whole mental breakdown because internally her body is shutting down from years of being neglected and vitamin deficient.
00:17:00.080 --> 00:17:09.200
So she has a mental breakdown and she's really, really sick, and Joseph or Elizabeth begs Joseph to take her to a proper hospital.
00:17:09.519 --> 00:17:12.559
After some time, he agrees, he takes her.
00:17:12.799 --> 00:17:20.160
And then when she gets to the hospital, the hospital's like, oh my God, this is more than Colt's neglect.
00:17:20.400 --> 00:17:20.640
Way more.
00:17:21.039 --> 00:17:22.160
There's more to the story here.
00:17:22.640 --> 00:17:25.680
We're spitballing a lot of information, all in a recap.
00:17:25.839 --> 00:17:29.039
You can check out both episodes at drinkaboutsomething.
00:17:29.920 --> 00:17:33.200
Because we're gonna wrap it up because we want you to listen to those episodes.
00:17:33.440 --> 00:17:39.839
So you have to find out what happens after this family does resurface.
00:17:40.000 --> 00:17:49.200
Elizabeth resurfaced after 24 years with her three children that have never seen the light of day in 2008.
00:17:49.839 --> 00:17:58.640
And it is quite the journey that this entire family has afterwards.
00:17:59.039 --> 00:18:08.000
It's a lot of aftermath, and the journey of being downstairs was it was a lot of things.
00:18:08.160 --> 00:18:10.640
There's no words for how terrible it was, honestly.
00:18:10.960 --> 00:18:12.960
And the words terrible is an understatement.
00:18:16.319 --> 00:18:17.920
I didn't want to be part of that one.
00:18:18.160 --> 00:18:19.119
I did not.
00:18:19.680 --> 00:18:28.400
But we do feature two amazing bands on both of those episodes that you also have to listen to to catch because let me tell you something.
00:18:28.559 --> 00:18:30.720
People will say there's not good music anymore.
00:18:30.880 --> 00:18:31.680
There is.
00:18:32.319 --> 00:18:41.920
And listening to our episodes, you get a story and you get a new upcoming band that you've never heard before, probably most likely.
00:18:42.240 --> 00:18:43.359
I hope some of you have.
00:18:43.599 --> 00:18:44.319
I hope you have.
00:18:44.480 --> 00:18:49.599
I hope you're that cool that you know, already know some of these bands that we have featured.
00:18:50.079 --> 00:18:53.119
But if you're looking for new music, I'm finding them.
00:18:53.519 --> 00:19:00.000
