| 0:00.0 | Content warning, this episode contains discussion of the brutal murder of two girls. |
| 0:06.8 | So let's talk about something that we've spent maybe a year on. |
| 0:13.3 | We've all obsessed about it. |
| 0:15.4 | The press aided up. |
| 0:17.2 | The defense attorney for the Delphi defense attorney's David Hennessy called this a work of art. |
| 0:23.2 | And then Judge Francis Gull deemed it unfit for court. |
| 0:27.4 | So what are we talking about, Kevin? |
| 0:29.5 | We're talking about the odinism theory, especially as it was presented in the so-called Franks memorandum in the Richard Allen case. |

| 1:36.7 | dismissed and it did not come up at trial, is because what I've observed is what I would |
| 1:43.2 | essentially characterize as like a sort of a lost cause-esque movement going on, where people start saying things like, well, if only odinism had been allowed in, then maybe, just maybe, Alan would be home today. |
| 1:58.0 | And it's honestly, one of the joys of my life right now is to see these like |
| 2:01.8 | very somber creators and journalists tell us why odinism could have could have been the winning |
