0:00.0	Welcome to Boston Confidential, Bean Towns True Crime Podcast.
0:11.7	Boston is a great city, but there's more to it than the Freedom Trail in Fenway Park.
0:16.7	There's a startling underbelly to the city, and Boston Confidential will take you on a guided tour of the hub of the universe, Boston, Massachusetts.
0:26.1	Hey, everybody, welcome back to Boston Confidential. My name's Barry McGuire, and I'm your host. I'm a 20-year private investigator on the streets of Boston, and I help run a company called Impact Due Diligence Investigations.
0:39.5	If you need anything in terms of investigative services, feel free to contact me at Impact.
0:45.1	If I can't help you personally, I'll certainly direct you to the right person or agency.
0:50.3	Hey, everybody, I just wanted to say thank you. Boston Confidential just hit its 100,000 downloads in a little

1:36.9	dialogue about the case or what's going on in the country, but they quickly devolve into name
1:43.0	calling. And I'm just not going to have that because after some of
1:46.3	these names are thrown at us, we haven't thrown anything back. What point is any dialogue after that?
1:53.3	And if you already think so poorly of the show, what's the point of the email to begin with?
1:58.7	So just asking for people to be rational, calm and
2:02.2	collective, I'll certainly engage with you. It's taken me a little bit longer to get back to people.
2:07.1	For that, I apologize. Also, guys, on the email, just because we may disagree about certain aspects
2:14.8	of certain things doesn't mean I don't like you. It doesn't mean I don't like you it doesn't mean I don't
