Hi, everyone, and welcome to history weeks. I am Tim. Welcome to the podcast where we take a lighthearted look at the dark side of history. Today, we're going to talk about the hitchhike killer, a man known as William cock-eyed cook.

We're going to be, as Brandy said, we're going to be culturally sensitive.

This was the name that the media gave him back in the 1950s when he went on a little killing spree.

And we're going to be very sensitive, as we always are,

when we talk about people who are different, Brandy.

Yeah.

And we're not going to call him cocky to me.

We're just going to call him fallacy.

Now, here's the thing. Is cock-eye because he's got a long eye because he's got a wandering eye or is he cock-eyed because you

have to cock your eye to aim a gun no no no he's he has a deformity, I think.

Ah, so he's, you know, he'd be good to take to war.

The fucker would see everything.

You know what, though?

You don't want, you know, Colonel, I think you'll agree with this.

You don't want to play air hockey with someone who's cock-eyed.

You probably don't, and you can't sneak up on.

No, you don't.

You can't sneak up on the left.

I'm just saying.

Right. Okay. And you don't want them painting your house, Timmy. Probably not. I don't want them paint. I wouldn't think you'd want them on a ladder. They'd just fall. That sounds awful. Well, that's their problem. I mean, that's insurance. But you get to, you know, they get to trim all.

You got lines on your trim. And it just doesn't.

And, you know, we don't.
