Hey guys and welcome to the Moms and Murder podcast, a true crime podcast featuring myself Mandy and my dear friend Melissa. Hi, Melissa. Hi, Mandy. How are you? I am surviving.

Straight up Destiny's Child style. That's how I feel.

Yeah.

I'm a survivor.

I feel like the last few episodes, the last few weeks really, there's been a downward

trend in our intro to how we're doing.

So we're holding on.

It is now we're officially in October.

Somehow the days just go by. Days go by like a

Keith Urban song. I did. Looks like we made it, which is another song that's 30 years older than that.

But we are here and we are bringing you a great episode this week. Yes. Yeah. So this is one that we

were really excited about. We originally talked about

doing this case on Patreon last month. And then it got moved to the main feed. And I'm really

excited to bring it to everyone. I think it's a story that some people might be familiar with and

some people might not be. You. You would have been in that crowd Mandy let's be honest yes I was in that

crowd this week we are discussing the story of a beloved comedian actor friend and

father Phil Hartman was truly one in a million from his many iconic characters on

SNL to his role on news radio to starring in countless movies.

This is, of course, Moms and Murder.

So today, we will be discussing the life and death of Phil Hartman.

At the time of Phil Hartman's death, he and his family were living in Encino, California.

And so this week, that is where we Googled this city takes place.
