My mom swears she was almost a Bundy victim down in Florida, she lived in the area he was lurking. My dad claims she was too ugly. Both have valid points. For those who wanted more backstory: My mom was walking home from school with a friend when a VW Beetle was following and they ran, that’s what Bundy was driving. She now calls them Bundymobiles. Also, my mom isn’t ugly, we’re just a sarcastic family and nothing was ever off limits if it got a laugh. Glad I made some laughs, that’s what it’s all about at the end of the day. Thanks!

Calling him " Teddy B" is wild 😆

Chris calling Ted Bundy “Teddy B” like he was a made guy from the mob😂😂😂.

Chris is a great storyteller. Also 100% agree, Blackbird is one of the best true crime shows I've ever seen.

Chris put on his best Dahmer costume

Chris: Wanna hear a wild story? Joe: Jamie let’s do a 5 minute fact check

“Smelling salts” lol it’s called cocaine where I come from

The story about Ted Bundy at 3:49 -- I heard the same story 40 years ago from a girlfriend of the girl who walked out on Ted Bundy at the restaurant. As I recall, the girl was a BYU student and she was at Brick Oven Pizza in Provo on a first date with Ted. Then sitting at the table she had an overwhelming feeling that Ted was evil - so she excused herself to "go to the restroom" & just didn't go back. It was ~2-3(?) years later when she saw Ted's picture and learned who he was.

Recreational smelling salts has got to be my favorite part of the jre

Chris is like that slightly older guy you all know as a kid who has all the crazy stories you never know are true because he always heard it from someone else 😂

That part about Bundy's face changing is interesting because others have said the same thing about him. His long-time girlfriend said they were rafting one day when he suddenly pushed her into the water and she almost drowned. She eventually managed to pull herself back up and just saw Ted sitting there with a blank expression on his face as if he wasn't really there. Others have also claimed that Bundy's eyes would go black when he was ready to kill. Crazy stuff.

Distefano looking like David Karesh pointing fingers at people who look like Bryan Kohberger is Spiderman meme energy.

Chris starts what's obviously going to be an awesome story Joe: "Jaime, see if the random shit I saw on Twitter briefly is even true"

“Imagine being a on a date with a young Teddy B”- this statement deffo belongs on this podcast

Blackbird was hands down one of the best tv shows I've seen in a long time. Both main actors were amazing.

It's a month late so I don't know if anybody's going to read this comment. Interesting story I worked for a mental health facility where we had a high-profile killer. The head of the facility who is also a professor at a neighboring college talk to me when I asked her questions about this person and what he was like. She said she was tempted or almost believed that he had disassociative identity disorder or multiple personality disorder because his eyes would literally change colors when she was speaking with him. She had never encountered in her career which had been tenured somebody like him before so this description that he's giving is much like the description that she gave me when I inquired about what this killer was like. Hope this makes sense talk-to-text

Chris Distefano picked the right type of glasses to wear to a discussion about 70s-era serial killers

Chrissy is not only a good storyteller but he also has the best stories to tell. A lethal combo

“I gotta get the grandma” is crazyy lol

My friend is a nurse and she was driving to work one night when a man with red hair started following her in his car. He kept beeping his horn like he wanted her to pull over and followed her all the way to the nursing home where she worked. She was creeped out and did not stop until she got the the nursing home where she parked and quickly walked over to where other staff were. He got out of his car and followed her but backed away when he saw other people. He said something like. 'I just wanted to warn you your tyre was wobbly. You should get it looked at' and then left. Several days later she saw a newspaper article that man with red hair was wanted by the police. He had stalked and raped several woman, often pulling them over in his car under the pretext that there was mechanical trouble with their car.

Chris is a good storyteller. He cares more about conveying the story than how he comes across

That look from Bundy Chris talked about that happened to his moms friend, was the same look a man gave me when I was a child (9 or 10) and in line at a grocery story. He kept turning around and staring at me. The cashier picked up on something and had enough sense to ask me if I wanted to stay at the store with her until she called my mom and I said yes. Well, the guy ended up leaving but I was young and didn't know my phone number and thought I was going to get in trouble so I ended up leaving the store. As soon as I crossed the street that same guy pulled up in his car telling me that my mother sent him to get me and I knew he was lying so I started to run. Thats when he stepped on the gas and started to chase me with his car. When I got around the corner he got out of his car and caught up to me and grabbed me by my hood and kept telling me that I got it wrong to just get in the fucking car! I managed to break free, run through a yard while he was still chasing me. He almost caught up but luckily there was a fence he was too old to climb and being a kid, I was able to climb the fence with ease and get home. But what I remember most was his dead eyes and the way he stared at me. He was going to kill me. This happened in 78 or 79. The decade all the serial killers were out there.

For people who had a run-in with a serial killer, predator, killer, sadist, etc to those who escaped, ran away, got away, etc they lived to tell the tale and thank you for sharing. There are some people who never share their experiences. You escaped with your life and you are forever altered. When you see a face change, eyes go black, you are in the presence of evil and you never forget it.

I love how there’s just a random smelling-salt intermission for absolutely zero reason 😂😂 Joe’s like a kid with a new toy “Hey check this out”

All of a sudden everyone's mom went on a date with Ted Bundy.

He did a great job in waiting on Joe's sudden pause for fact checking and brought us back to his interesting story. I was wondering how he would handle that bump because of course I wanted to hear the story. Great conversation. Love this stuff.

I'm 35...when I was 6 or 7 walking home from school with my sister that is 3 yrs older than me a man pulled into a driveway we just walked across on the sidewalk. I heard the car n turned to look back n seen it pull in the driveway. I turned back around n kept walking following my sister. Next thing I knew he grabbed my arm pulling me towards his car, his driver side door still open. I was screaming my sister ran n was pulling ny other arm screaming cars started slowing n paying attention so he let go and sped off. We ran and hid behind a big tree in front of a church that was just a few houses down. I can still remember the look in his face. FF 3 yrs later. Me and my sister are walking home. We didn't take the front road after the first instance (mind you I have kids and I have no fkn clue why my parents still allowed us to walk. My child's school is a block away and she didn't walk once!) Anyways...we took the back way thru a corn field when it was cut. On the way nothing was out of ordinary.. on way back there was a black garbage bag in the field. Me being a kid, curious wondering where this bag came from... I went to open it. I had my hand on it... again my sister grabbed my hand n drug me the block home. 45 min later cops swat feds helicopters etc are over that field. There had been a little girl missing and she was in that black garbage bag. I thank God for my sister...saving my life the first time. And saving me from seeing that little girl, that was the same age as mendead, in that garbage bag. Trust me ny life has been hell since and seen and been thru a lot of messed up things. Just glad I didn't go thru those 2 possibilities. I live 5 blocks from where those things happened. I about have full blown panic attack going by those areas every time. So I got the roads around to avoid those areas if possible.. town is 12,000 ppl central hell hole Illinois.. These days things are much worse. Stay safe and keep kiddos safe.

And for the record, Idaho governor signed into law the firing squad death penalty just this week.

i worked at a luxury department store and at our coffee shop there was a guy who i always felt uncomfortable around. My coworkers had agreed that he had creepy vibes so I always kept my distance. A friend of mine decided to google him after an incident left her feeling like he was seriously off. Turns out he had just gotten out of jail after a 10 year sentence for raping and abusing several girls as young as 11. She contacted our security team and he was instantly fired and barred from the store. A few months later he strangled a 21 year old girl to death. Moral of the story: trust your gut about creepy men. better to be considered rude than be dead. also google people for yourself, not everyone does their due diligence.

Many women after surviving attacks from people like Bundy have said they had that weird feeling beforehand, but felt too awkward to leave. They would rather take the risk and hope their wrong than to create an awkward moment and be safe. Something hard for me to grasp

I was in Wales UK with my Cousin. I’m 30 yrs old. He went to the Castle and I went to the Museum and wanted to read my book. I’m in a small village in Wales unlike Chicago where I’m from. No one is out and about! It’s a Sunday and I’m waiting for the bus reading my book. A woman in a black Mercedes drives past me and tells me she’s a photographer. She then tells me to go for a ride with her. I tell her I’m fine while I read my book. She looks forward then turns her head to me again and tells at me to get in the car! At which I got up and went back to the museum.

Chris is a pure comedic genius! Totally love him 💯🔥

Chris out here telling stories like Mr. Ballen 👏 👏

“Teddy B” is borderline hilarious 😂🤣😭

Being from Utah means knowing someone who's aunt's friend went on a date with Ted Bundy.... I've heard this exact same story from like 50 people.

Thank God Joe is there to tell Jamie how to Google obvious questions😂😂😂😂

My grandfather was one of Ted Bundy's psychologist when he was at the Utah state prison. He told me some crazy stories and he still has a bunch of the tests he gave him. There is a documentary coming out soon where he talks about it.

I'm a criminal behavior analyst located in Nebraska. If I tell you guys the things I have witnessed I doubt any of you can go to sleep.

That double movie thing always happens to me. Literally 2 weeks ago I watched Fargo and Monsters Inc. "A Buschemi double feature"

Went to rehab with an older lady who got away from Richard Ramirez. Rehab was in San Dimas, CA. He snuck in her bedroom window pinned her down as a teen in her bed and she screamed and her dad chased him outta the house. She kept saying in group circle time, “ His eyes were black!!!! The whites were black!!! His eyes were all black!!!!” Then she couldn’t stop crying. Scared the living $h!t outta me. She was a hot mess. I’m so glad she survived. 😭

That description of bundy’s face changing when he was praying on his victims really scared the shit out of me

"Joey went in", "Get in there Chrissy" Episode of Sopranos vibes

“I wanna start doing Jiu jitsu with you and I don’t even know how to do it” killed me 😂

Felt bad for Chris as he had to take the longest pause before starting the story. Thought he'd forget lmao

That girl went toe-to-toe with a young Teddy B. Respect.

I’m always amazed at the people who are harmed or in horrible danger that say, ‘I had a funny feeling’ or ‘something felt off’. So far, I’ve acted on those feelings. Hope I’m not asleep at the wheel if it happens again

If demonic possession happens then the description of how Bundy’s face changed would be spot on.

Chris has a number of good qualities that not all comedians have. He's funny, he's an interesting guy and has the ability to convey stories in a clear and concise way without boring you. He doesn't have that certain comedian smugness that so many have. He's just that funny (normal) guy you'd like to hang with at a party and bullshit with.

Blackbird was a phenomenal short series, highly recommend it

My grandma met Ted Bundy on a bus in Seattle, he was faking a broken arm at the time and wearing fake glasses, she said he seemed like a semi normal guy but had something off about him. I couldn't imagine what it must be like if you meet a stranger then find out later they were a serial killer.

My daughters great uncle lived near the Manson family. He told us a story about his girlfriend came over and said something about a dog in their yard that was outside with no food or water. Apparently it was the Manson families dog. They were going over with water and food for the dog and to bring it over and ask what's going on with the dog. The other neighbor saw them and started yelling at them saying don't go over there, it's dangerous and stay away from those people 🤷 they kept the dog and no one ever asked about it or said

Chris is the one of the best story tellers we have been graced with he’s fills in with jokes, side points and fun facts whilst maintaining the best hand signals. Absolutely love the bloke

1:15 bro the face he made😭😭😭😭

You can buy that stuff by the gallon at any place that sells household cleaning supplies. It's just ammonia. You can even get it lemon scented or add your own scent.

Crazy murderer link story. I grew up near Diamond Bar CA where the Nightstalker committed his last murder (or one of the last). My mom had the same reaction upon seeing the mugshot and always tells her story when he comes up on tv. She saw the Nightstalker at her bathroom window (daytime) as she got out of the shower. We had just moved into a newly developed suburb, which is adjacent to Diamond Bar (most eastern LA county), so there were no fences between houses yet. He was caught in East LA only a few days later. Stories like hers and Chris' mom's friend are so compelling because it makes you wonder how many potential victims got lucky.

He’s also on cobra Kai, as stingray and he’s hilarious

Henry Lee Lucas for sure killed 3 people. His mother who horribly abused him as a child, an elderly woman, and a young girlfriend. He began to confess to any murder questioned about, he really enjoyed the attention and perks recieved. I think authorities found out quickly. Not sure how long before most confessions were discounted.

Ted Bundy as a young dude worked at a crisis hotline in the night shift together with a middle aged female colleague who was an ex-cop and a true crime writer (before she met Bundy). She wrote "The Stranger Beside Me" about her time with Bundy. Fascinating book.

When my friends husband was a kid living in California he and his dad were driving somewhere when their car broke down. They started walking to find help when they came upon the Manson family at Spahn ranch. The Manson family helped them get back on the road. This happened just before they committed the murders.

I live in Salt Lake city and worked at a Smiths grocery store with a man who almost caught Ted bundy. I forget the whole story but this man had worked for the store for a long time and one night he was asked to stop a customer who was leaving, he was later informed that the man was identified as Ted bundy.

Was waiting for Chris to say, "Its a Jersey thing." 😅

The way Joe Rogan thinks Google works is hilarious

My exes mom when she was 22-23 was being followed in Lake City Florida by a man. She saw him a couple of times. Her husband worked nights and she asked him to call out of work. He slept on the couch and was woken up by the guy trying to break in. Two days later the guy was caught after killing a young girl who lived on her parents street. The guy was Ted Bundy. The young girl he killed was her little brothers best friend. Her brother ended up becoming a cop and then a detective because of the impact of his friend being killed by Bundy. True story. Not making this up.

Listening to this on the headphones and Joe saying "you want another sniff" I've been there but a totally different substance hahaha

It would be funny if Bundy did an interview where he said that his anger towards women was fueled by them walking out on dates and treating him like he's a creep.

in Utah TED came into the small town of Lehi at an arcade hangout and was hitting on the local girls, I say 1973 or around then, my younger brother didn't like this guy from the minute he came in, it took about ten minutes before he got punched out and my brother threw him back in his V W and he drove off, 2weeks later we had a girl killed up the canyon and ted was the main suspect at that time, it was in the local papers man in V W wanted for questing, the cops talked to a bunch of us about this.

Can confirm - Black Bird is one of best shows on any platform rn. Hausers portrayal is absolutely terrifying and insane

I grew up in Utah, my school librarian was almost one of his victims

He plays a guy named Keith in a show called Kingdom with Frank Grillo. Its excellent

He’s 100% right about Blackbird and the acting. Everyone should watch it. Phenomenal show.

Lead det. on SOS never believed D.B. acted alone. He was onto the Process church that Berkowitz hung with and an animal shelter where they got "sacrificial" animals. They had been at Inyo with Manson, also. The principals started Best Friends Animal Shelter in Kanab, UT, after IRS spiked a phony 501C3 the ran in AZ. Interpol watches...missing kids & unexplained deaths.

One of the wildest JRE clips I’ve listened to in a minute.

I was listening to this while I was driving and I thought they were smelling each other’s farts!😂

Chris distefano probably the best storyteller in comedy rn

“Imagine you’re on a date wit a young teddy b”🤣🤣🤣shouldn’t be funny but I’m crying 🤦🏽‍♂️🤣

I dated someone who did this. I’m waiting to talk to people about him. Mark my words right now:

Henry Lee Lucas didn't kill the vast majority of the victims he confessed to, but he was definitely a murderer - he killed his own mother, because she used to sexually humiliate him and send him to school dressed as a girl (you can expect to see a lot more of this in the next 10 years or so).

This was my favorite podcast of Joes in a long time. Chris seems like a really fun dude to hang out with.

I was a young reporter in Texas covering the Otis Toole case (he called Adam Walsh) and they brought in Henry Lee Lucas as a witness. It was pretty scary to see him though.

That’s listening to your gut!! Thank God your Mom listened to her gut instinct!!❤️🙏

I swear everyone mother, sister, cousins, daughter or best friend had a date with Ted Bundy

Chrissy D rocking his dads glasses cracks me up.. Just saw his appearance on Jimmy Kimmel when he was rocking these and then see him rocking them on JRE next lol.. so great.

reminds me of ed bassmaster telling one of his never ending stories 😂

In 95 , I worked with a guy who used to work with Teds mom. She told him all the time what a good boy he is

My father lived in Floral Park, NY on Long Island during the time Son of Sam was on his killing spree. One of his best friend's sister was murdered by him just a few blocks down from his house. Even with all of those crimes going on, nobody was afraid of leaving their doors unlocked or walking around town at night. Such a different time... If I heard there was a murderer killing people by my house I'd never leave the house.😂

When I was a young child, my "Nana" had a friend from Wisconsin who would come out to visit her. To me she was "Aunt Catherine" . Well turned out later (much later) that was Jeffry Dahmer's Grandmother. I remember her as a very kind woman.

All the housewives flickin beans over muckduck-pron

Telling those stories while wearing Jeffery Dahmer's glasses... chilling.

"I want to do jiu jitsu with you and I don't even know how to do it" 🤣

My mother in law got the helpless guy on crutches act from Bundy at a lake here in Washington. He tried to get her to leave in a VW bug, but her brother appeared and he took off.

The idea of clicking a video because the title looks Inter wing, and you’re greeted with two men sniffing whatever that stuff is called again 💀

I can never figure out how a killer can recall 30 or 40 murders in detail. I don't even remember anything I ate last week.🤔

I met a guy who lived through Son of Sam. He told everyone would walk around the city at night in groups with various weapons because they were either afraid or looking for the guy.

My mom was dating a guy in the early 80’s as a teen. It wasn’t long before she realized something was very off about him. She ended it quickly and my dad had been trying to win her heart over. He did pretty quickly and a week later the guy and his friend were arrested for r*aping two girls in the woods and killed one of them. The other little girl miraculously survived and played dead. She ended up finding help. This happened in Vermont. Their names are Louis Hamlin Jr and Jamie Savage SIDE NOTE: Ted Bundy was born in Burlington Vermont.

That series blackbird is brilliant

“Imagine being on a date w a young teddy B?” Really puts things into perspective😭💀

The guy who played the serial killer in Blackbird received a Golden Globe for his performance. One of the best limited series out right now that nobody is talking about.

Chrissy is evolving. Man is looking LEAN and is one of the best in the business, I'm betting he's going to have a big year.

I listen to the whole podcast of this episode! Dude was all positive until the “Jamie need a vacation “ part 😂

i had a mioscopy and you where the title of the CPOG and man i just had heart attack.
