Hi, Mike. It's 2024 and I'm rewatching your videos. It suddenly struck me that I was in New York that very same night, New Year's Eve 2009! I'm Portuguese, and won the 4 days trip and hotel stay (the Marriot on 42nd Street, no less) on a Canon contest! It was great!

I haven't watched this one. Can't even begin to imagine how backgammon can ever cause any crime.

Don't do backgammon, kids 😂

Rachel Witherspoon

Okay, its Sunday, and Im going into That Chapter withdrawal

I've been a Patreon for about a year or more now, I always jump on these as soon as they come out - they're brilliant videos. I can't think of anyone I'd rather support than Mike, he's a top bloke (as we say here in Australia)

Pickle Powell

I certainly won't let backgammon go to my head! hahaha

Christopher Moore

BWAHahaha BACKGAMMON! What a fucking goon that dude was. God lord man. Btw another great one mike!

Juril Ducusin

Jane Pohl

Thanks Mike

Sash Johnson

Don't let backgammon go to your head 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Jacqueline McNeil

Jacqueline McNeil

Hi huh! I think she told after the police had to ask here... That's when everyone spills all the goods

A Keratin treatment helps to repair damage to hair due to heat styling, colouring, chlorine etc. by replenishing the hair shaft with keratin it has lost. Keratin makes hair strong, flexible and healthy looking and feeling. The treatment takes hours to do and costs hundreds of dollars to have done. I have hair that goes halfway down my back and it took over 5 hours to do and I didn't wash my hair for a week after to get the most out of the treatment. It is really worth it especially if you live in a high humidity area. I live in South Western Ontario (in dreaded Canada!) and our summers are very humid so I get it done every June. The stylist fist washes your hair with a special keratin complex, then drys and straightens your hair. Then another keratin complex is put on and after sitting under heat for awhile the stylist re-drys and re-straightens with a flat iron to infuse the keratin into the hair. Then another rinse and another straighten and your butt is so sore from sitting for so long but your hair is gorgeous! Hope that helps!

Great episode!

No I think she did go to the police, that’s how they found out about all his dastardly plans and deeds. Maybe? But yeah all total POS

What is a keratin treatment? I’m lost on this.

As a Jew (I know....my name doesn’t give it away), we are buried within 24 hours BUT if the police request an autopsy, we cannot refuse it. In those case, it seems the initial thought was accidental drowning and the family would not have requested an autopsy on something presented to them as probable accidental death. We had a friend who died at 21 while watching TV with his family. An autopsy was done, despite the fact he was Jewish. Turned out to be a heart defect he was born with but knew nothing about as it was not previously diagnosed as an issue. The remaining 4 children were then tested and one of the other boys had the same thing (and it’s now been fixed). So, the religion would not have played a role here. The coroner would have had to have released the body (no doubt at the crime scene) for the burial to have taken place within the 24 hour window and given that the coffin was very plain, I am guessing the family is, as I am, modern orthodox Jewish. Still, I’m sometimes embarrassed to be Jewish when I share a religion with a piece of crap like Rod. Backgammon is popular in Jewish homes for the Aged though. You know, we have to have board games because we often suck at actual sports. Great video!

Mike you are the best! Great story teller...and you must be a genius because we have the same sense of humor and I’m the funniest person I know. 😉🤪 Now you are a close second. I’m honored to support your talents however meager my pennies in the tip jar may be...they are given with love! ❤️

Hey you! and thanks as always Mike for making all of our Thursday's a lot more entertaining! I always look forward to our Thursday videos. Thanks again and I'll see you in the next video. Lynette out!

Carolyne S.

You can always ask if there’s something beauty related you need to know about Mike!

Jacqueline McNeil

Wait! So the girlfriend knew he wanted to KILL HIS PARENTS! Didn't go to the police... I'd charge her as well! UGH! She's a POS too.

Peri Jetton

Mike....thank you!

Jennifer Emmett

Beans!

Laura Jane

There is a (backgammon) house in the Upper West Side They call the Rising Sun And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy And God, He knows Rod's one

David LaVigne

What a bag of shite this guy is. How many different plots did he come up with to kill his parents, frame his OWN daughter, and then have his son lie to the doctors. Honestly, if not for him being a total narcissist, he probably wouldn't have been convicted as Mike said. This ol' video was a doozy. Mike, backgammon and beer this Friday?

That Chapter

Beer and pizza and we're good to go

That Chapter

Not gonna lie, that was the one part of the video I was completely clueless at and is probably one of the key parts!

Astra

I second this. It's too long a process and costs too much money to even consider getting it wet.

DEADisBEAUTIFUL .

To be honest.....if I had to deal with my significant other having an addiction, I’d choose eating Sheetrock over backgammon.

Dizzy585roc

I'm gonna hire you to just come to my house and tell me bedtime stories like these. 😂

Carolyne S.

Being a chick who gets Keratin treatments every year, there is no way she went into the tub willingly. You need to let it stay dry for about a week. It is way too expensive to undo the treatment by getting the hair wet and will have no positive effects on your hair if you do this.

Icepack Jack

Getting me through lunch, what a loser that guy was...

Yaddy Alioshi

It's always a pleasure to watch your videos, Mike. I've tried so many other true crime videos, but most of them are completely unwatchable. You do an excellent job in every way, and you keep on getting better. You're amazing! Thanks for keeping these coming our way. BTW--those poor children!

Catherine DeWitt

His girlfriend talked him out of it...and then hopefully dumped him and told the police. Doesn't sound like she did.

Paul V

More great story telling Mike!

Thank goodness it's Mike day 😌

Midnight Odelle West

Thanks for another great episode!

Linderman Edgewater

Mike your getting better by the chapter! My patreon $ is money well spent. Best of luck and stay the course.

That username.......

Halie Gail

Great as alway Mike, and yea what a piece of Pooh.. kinda like Scott Peterson. He’s definitely guilty, but did they have enough to really prove? With Peterson, I think the worst evidence against him was the sigh of relief he made on the phone tap tape. With this guy it’s the daughters confession that he definitely forged..

Hi! There's one in the description but I'll link it here for you too! https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLD5aIDn0HlluTTOV5WWZQyUIASKu4CS6n

ScavengerQueen

Weird question/comment Mike! Could/Would you be interested in making a playlist of some of the songs you use in your cuts? I really like a lot of the folk music I hear in your videos!
