131: Conrad Hilton III & a Bad Pot of Coffee

Daryl Pitts, aka DP, is back for his third illustrious guest appearance on the podcast, and he has one hell of a story to tell.  Conrad Hilton III is young, rich, and accustomed to getting what he wants. So when he boarded a commercial flight (the horror!) from London to Los Angeles and was asked to turn off his cell phone, he immediately lost his cool. He screamed obscenities at the flight attendants. He punched the bulkhead. He smoked weed in the airplane bathroom. Later, he threatened to kill the flight attendants. When they handcuffed him, he complained that they would ruin his modeling career. When they finally landed and lil Conrad was made to face some consequences, his family hired famed O.J. Simpson attorney Robert Shapiro. Then Kristin tells a truly disgusting story about a horrific pot of coffee. On a Monday morning in the spring of 2009, Michael Utz was at work for the city of Culpeper, Virginia. He walked over to his personal coffee pot, but when he opened it up, he noticed that it was already filled with water. But… the water didn’t smell like water. It smelled like urine. He immediately went to his boss, who made it his mission to find the culprit.  And now for a note about our process. For each episode, Kristin reads a bunch of articles, then spits them back out in her very limited vocabulary. Brandi copies and pastes from the best sources on the web. And sometimes Wikipedia. (No shade, Wikipedia. We love you.) We owe a huge debt of gratitude to the real experts who covered these cases.
