| 0:00.0 | Hey, Desirmer listeners. |
| 0:01.7 | Today's episode is the first chapter in a deep dive on the Menendez brothers, a true crime topic that people have been asking us to make episodes about for years and years. |
| 0:14.9 | Yeah. |
| 0:15.4 | So let's get into it. |
| 0:17.3 | What do you say, Berdo? |
| 0:18.0 | Let's do it. |
| 0:18.8 | This is the Psychology in Seattle podcast. |
| 0:21.3 | I'm your host, Dr. Kirkonda. I'm a therapist and a professor. Who you say, Berdo? Let's do it. This is the Psychology in Seattle podcast. I'm your host, |

| 1:06.6 | literally all that I know. So you are going to walk me through the story, and then I'm going to |
| 1:16.1 | try to pull psychology out of what you're giving me. And I have a specific set of therapist |
| 1:22.9 | questions at the end of each section. So welcome to the Menendez Brothers Psychology in Seattle. |
| 1:29.6 | I shouldn't be smiling, by the way. |
| 1:31.2 | It is a horrible story. |
