Hey, guys, and welcome to the Moms and Mysteries podcast, a true crime podcast featuring myself,

Mandy and my dear friend Melissa. Hi, Melissa. Hi, Mandy. How are you? I'm doing wonderful. We had a

birthday in my house this week. I can't believe you have a 10 year old. I know. Your kids are

double digits, both of them. That is wild. I know I was saying that I can't believe that my youngest child is 10 years old. That just feels really weird. I'm just like, what do I do now? I feel like I'm entering a whole different stage of life now, both my kids in double digits. So yeah, that's very exciting. He had an

amazing birthday. He got a cell phone, which is something he's been asking for for a very long time. Right. Of course, his big brother has had a phone for a couple of years now. So that's been every holiday, you know, and every birthday, it's been, I want to get my own phone. So I kept kind of saying, like we'll talk about it when you're 10.

So it got to a point where he was just expecting to get a phone for his birthday. It's been, I want to get my own phone. So I kept kind of saying, like, we'll talk about it when you're 10. So it got to a point where he was just expecting to get a phone for his birthday. Yeah, I was like scared to not give him a phone. So he got his phone. We got to keep the peace. Yeah, yeah. So he got his phone and we went to a basketball game with some of his friends from school. I love it.

And yeah, so it was great. So how has your week been? It's good. Less exciting. My son got his cast off. That's exciting, though. He broken his elbow. It is. He handled it so well, honestly, the entire process. Like, if you would have asked me a year ago what my biggest fear would have been, it would probably be him in a cast just because of who he is as a person. And sometimes things are a little difficult. So he handled it great, like better than I would. He would never complained about his cast itching. And my father-in-law actually wrote me and he was like, I asked him, is your cast itching and he said no and he's like

you know what I realized I should have asked him of his arm was itching because he's so literal no my

cast is not itching absolutely not my arm is on fire I can't scratch him but you keep asking about the

cast and I was like oh I forget we have to be very very literal with him so the I'm like, wow, I can't believe your cast isn't itching. He said, yeah. Now I'm asking about my arm. Yeah. So anyway, I'm glad that's done. He handled it great and on to bigger and better things. It's a beautiful day here in Florida. It's so nice today. I love it. Love it. I could

live in this. I do. Well, congratulations. You do. Yeah. Yeah, it is really nice. I think we're going to get

like a little cool snap next week. So that will be nice. When I say cool, I mean like 60s. So it's like cold.

But like not sweating when you

walk to your car. Yeah. Yeah. We'll take it. All right. So for the story this week, we're actually

going back in time and telling a story from the 1900s. I just love calling it the 1900s.

I'm fine with you doing it. I don't like when my kids do it because I'm like, that's rude. Yeah. So if you're under the age of 60, which is probably most of our listeners, this might be a completely new story to you. And if you're over the age of 60 and you're a movie buff, then you might be familiar with the story this week. The 1920s and 30s were a booming time in Hollywood. Live entertainment really started taking a decline and the film industry started to flourish.

It was a time of massive change for the entertainment industry as they knew it at the time.

And of course, we've only expanded on all of that over the last hundred years.

But it's the time period from the 20s to about the early 60s that's known as the golden age of Hollywood.

It was during this time that Mexican-American actor Ramon Navarro saw his rise to fame and

became one of the first Latin American actors to make it big in Hollywood. Born in 1890,

you heard that right, 1899. Jose Ramon Gil Samaniego was the first of 13 children.
