There would be no way Ken would do any of those things. Everybody adored him, they loved him, they cared about him, and they trusted him.

When he went over to California, she started calling me and telling me all these things, and that's when I found out about the mafia. That's when I found out about drugs. She said, well, you know he was a junkie. I said, no, I didn't know that, but now I do, I guess. And she also told me that he murdered someone. Oh, my God, I can't believe he killed people.

Did he ever tell you the story of Kenny Mendelke, the boy that drowned? No. It was his best friend. They were all set to go scuba diving. There were like five boys. And I had to work that day. And my parents had to work at the restaurant. There was no one to watch my four siblings. And I said to Kenny, I said, would you do me a big favor and watch the kids?

And he said, I'm already written, signed up to go scuba diving with Mandelke and the rest of the guys. And I said, please. And he said, OK, I'll do it. So he stayed home. The equipment that he was to have used was given to Mendelke, his buddy. And Mendelke's equipment failed, and he was like, he's dead. And it should have been Kenny. That should have been the equipment that he should have used.

And it was really bad. That was the first time that Kenny had to deal with death. of a friend, of a good friend, and also he felt guilty that if he would have gone, you know, Mandelke would have lived, and then he took off. And I think, now that I think in hindsight, where him taking off, he took off in his car and he was gone for like two days after the funeral, right after the funeral.

Nobody knew where he was. Richie went out for like a day looking for him. I think he ended up in Iowa or somewhere. He just ran. He just kept running and running and running until he probably ran out of money and gas and came back. And probably be the start of major issues because that was hard on him. Really, really hard.

Well, let me take you back. About two weeks ago, sitting on my back porch with my husband and a girlfriend of mine, Caitlin. And she works for this hyper-local honey place here in Atlanta. And she is only about a mile from my house. And she accidentally left a key at her office. And she just made some offhanded comments.

It's like, oh, wouldn't it be so nice if the bees could just fly over my key and I wouldn't have to go get it? Yeah. And so I am thinking immediately, well, this is ludicrous because it would take an insane amount of bees to do this. So I'm imagining like a lot of bees in this huge mass, like a swarm of bees carrying this key. So I ask her, how many bees do you think this would take?

And she's like, oh, well, you know, a house key is small. Like imagine if you could just stick their little feet to the key and then they could all fly up, right? Right. Then maybe it would only take like seven bees. And I'm thinking, no, this is like a 50 bee situation, like a ton of bees. And every single person I have asked seems to think it would take less than 20 bees.
