| 0:00.0 | Hey guys, we have an update for you this week on a story that we covered back in 2020, the story of Amy Bishop, who committed a mass shooting at the University of Alabama in Huntsville. |
| 0:11.4 | And there's actually been several updates in this case since we shared it with you. So stick around to the end of the episode and we will be discussing everything that's happened since then. |
| 0:30.6 | So we're going to get right into the story this week, but first, forget everything you've previously heard on moms and murder. |
| 0:32.7 | As Stefan from S&L would say, this story has everything, a disgruntled Harvard graduate, a pipe bomb, |
| 0:40.3 | and even a secret neighborhood pizza party. And just when you think the fun is over, |
| 0:44.8 | knock, knock, who's there? It's a lady punching you in the face over a booster seat. |
| 0:50.1 | This story really does have everything. And the more that we read about the story, truly the more |
| 0:56.3 | bizarre that it became. So join us this week as we discussed the strange world of Dr. Amy Bishop, |
| 1:02.1 | who was a Harvard graduate, a mad scientist, and a mother of four. Amy was born on April 24th, |

| 1:24.6 | Braintree, Massachusetts has a population of 35,000 residents as of the 2010 census, and it's located around 12 miles to the south of Boston. |
| 1:34.3 | The co-founder of the telephone, Thomas Augustus Watson, which, by the way, did you know there was a co-founder of the telephone? |
| 1:40.9 | I felt really dumb just reading that. |
| 1:42.5 | Yeah, I thought it was just Alexander Graham Bell, |
| 1:44.9 | and that was it. Turns out there was another guy who we do not respect enough named Thomas Augustus |
| 1:49.6 | Watson, and he retired Braintree and was a big part of the education system there. President John |
| 1:55.7 | Adams and his son, President John Quincy Adams, were both born in Braintree, Massachusetts. But thanks to |
| 2:02.4 | some rezoning later, technically they were born in what is now known as Quincy, Massachusetts. |
| 2:08.0 | But you know what they say? The Google the city facts giveth and the Google the city facts |
| 2:12.7 | take it away. All I really have. It was a stretch. |
