Can we talk for a minute? I mean, yes, this is sinister, but it's about sinister. I feel like I need to

change the way that I tell stories because there was an overwhelming amount of empathy for killers

in my comments. And this is something that I feel like I need to clarify. In this show, we talk about people's past as well as their crimes.

And what generally tends to happen is when I'm going through somebody's childhood,

and it's, you know, something that a lot of people have experienced was essentially not their fault when they were a kid.

I have a lot of empathy for that because some of you guys have been through those experiences.

So when I'm reading through these cases, I'm not just thinking about that person alone.

I'm thinking about some of you guys and the things that you've been through.

I mean, the Gina Grant episode taught me a lot about how often you guys relate to some of these experiences.

And so when I'm going through these, a lot of times the empathy that I'm extending is for the

child that they were, but it's mostly for you guys that resonate with some of these stories.

And what I'm finding is happening quite often are people are not

taking their empathy cap off even when I really, really, really paint a turning point in the case.

And the empathy cap stays on the entire time. Even though I talk through these throughout it,

I feel as though this is like a storytelling or a communication problem on my end.

And that tells me that I need to change something in the ways that we communicate.

And I want to start off by straight up having this conversation with you guys.

So listen, it is okay to feel some empathy for the person they were or if you see yourself or a friend or family in some of these stories.

But hold on.

I need help for a minute.

Where are the people in the comments that like genuinely think some of these people are just pieces of shit?

Because I need your energy back.
