Well if its like a really long time ago your brain will try to pick something off and it might take a while. Even worse, memories do change and doesnt stay the same way forever. Theres a study into this
"What did you eat for breakfast?" 'I mean it's been like a million years! My brother had toast, his next door neighbour's best friend's dog was named Woofie and I'm sure I pet him once in 1989, my ex-boyfriend's brother once played basketball in that same year and I'm sure I met his wife but didn't go to their wedding. I mean what is this even about?'
They said that since she was a police officer, the detectives working the case at the time just brushed it to the side. Maybe because they worked with her so they couldn't imagine her doing something like this, or just trying to cover one of their own. Sad either way.
It’s such a shame to consider that she ended that poor woman’s life over a heated romantic conflict, but now 20+ years later she isn’t even with the guy she was apparently willing to kill someone over. One heated dispute, and she ended a life and then completely moved on with her own.
exactly haha she really went from “why are we talking about some guy i dated 100 years ago???” to “he played basketball, his brother played basketball in north-ridge” lol
Funny that she remembers the exact floor and dorm she lived in in college but has trouble remembering anything to do with the guy she dated during that time.
The wikipedia page on this case is really interesting. It turns out that Lazarus and Rutten got back together briefly in 1989, three years after the murder. At this point Rutten called the case Detective to make sure there was 'no evidence Lazarus killed his wife'. This sounds a bit odd in itself, but if there was some complicity and perhaps life insurance fraud then he would have to make sure that getting back together with her wouldn't raise enough suspicions that could get them caught. Maybe there is more to this story.
I swear to god these comments are better than the actual interrogation. This woman drives me nuts. She was barely alive for most of her life apparently
Comments? Well gosh, I don't know, this video was posted about a million years ago. There might have been some comments? Maybe! I don't remember :O :S :/ :O
I watch this video at least once a year because I still can not get over how a detective who murdered someone did not realize an hour into their interrogation that they were a suspect…
What are you talking about? Yes, she quickly realized this was a situation she didn’t want to be in. She was clearly panicking the whole time. I can’t believe you don’t realize that
I mean - read about this case a bit - I can't see any way this WASN'T a cover up by the LAPD - they completely ignored her as a suspect, and over the years when detectives came across her, their supervisors told them to ignore her, even going so far as to harass them with counseling for being "stressed". Stephanie knew for years that the LAPD would tell her everything about the case, and would actively ignore her as a suspect, so why would she think it was any different now? She probs just thought they were giving her more inside information on the case for no reason Also for fucks sake, a detective straight up took all of the DNA evidence from the case in the 90's and "lost" it, only leaving behind the bite evidence. They also let Stephanie see the case file for the murder repeatedly even though she was the primary suspect. The only reason she was convicted here was because these two detectives removed her name from all of their documents, only calling her "suspect #5". They only let their supervisors know AFTER they had already secured the proper DNA evidence
She sure knows how to complicate a relationship🤯!! Imagine her in a couple counselling session🤦♂️!!Gee..its like..erm..you know.. wow.. he is not my..boyfriend ..it's like a million years ago..once or twice we had sex..I think..but I can't remember it.🤦♂️.MURDER are you kidding me! 🤦♂️🤯phew..you're scaring me now.... .oh..scuba diving in Hawaii...what was the question..yeh I liked her..🤯🤯
According to the transcript during the interrogation *reads* geez, gosh, I barely remember that, ummm... God. Uhhh, in Hawaii? I was with my friend greg umm, then I went to business school down town. Geez.
She’s guilty as sin and freaking out inside but she is still SO calculated. She almost NEVER gives a straightforward, yes or no answer. Every response leaves room for plausible deniability: “Maybe”, “it’s possible”, “I’d think I’d remember that”, “I’m not sure”. She knows very well she can’t be caught in a lie if she just pleads ignorance and bad memory. What a despicable person.
You are correct. She is one of the most despicable people on the planet. She hid this secret for 20 years WHILE COMMITTING THE MURDER AS A COP. Unthinkable and horrific.
Hmmm an innocent person would answer with a totally different demeanor and the detectives would have picked up in that but they already knew she had dunnit
It's a failure of our justice system that she got to live free for 23 years after her crime, barely do any time, and then live free at the end of her life.
I hope she doesn’t get parole either. What a slap in the face that this 🐷 cop murdered a young woman who actually contributed to society, only to be eligible for parole after finally being arrested.
Well, you'd have to feel regret for that. She clearly was okay with shooting that poor woman AND smashing her face in. I think the second worst person involved in this is John. He was playing both these women. What a dick!
the most eerie thing about this to me is that she’s probably having flashbacks the entire time of the exact moments of her ending sherry’s life. it’s terrifying how she got away with it for that long.
I've watched this video a couple times and what I can't get is how the cops thought The murder was done through burglary. There was injury caused after death. That is saying it's personal
I mean it's a waste of tax payer dollars one person got killed and her life in prison was likely hell being a former cop and all. Honestly it's amazing she lived this long being stupid enough to fall for all this (especially being a former cop)
She should have called the lawyer the minute they started asking about sherry, saying that I believe it's better if this goes through official channel.
She didn't want to ask for a lawyer because she wanted to keep up a pretence of not having any idea that they were accusing her of anything, if she had asked for a lawyer that could have been seen as an admission that she understood they were going to be accusing her of murder and she wanted to avoid appearing to have any knowledge that the questioning would eventually take that turn. That's what I imagine her thinking was anyway.
The husband could have said: "Oh, geez. I mean, gee whiz. It's been about a thousand years since we got married. Her name? Ohh, my. That was a long time ago!"
@@vincentm.9178 she's so anxious and uptight because she knows what this is, and what the outcome will be, her denial is just so deep.... If she was regular before she'll have diarrhea next time her ass touches the pan
The real coward in this case was John Ruetten, Sherri's husband. He knew that Lazarus had been stalking and harrassing Sherri. But he never put his foot down and told Lazarus to back off. Then after the murder, he stonewalled the investigation when he could have immediately told them about what had been going on, but did not tell them. Sherri had changed the beneficiary on her life insurance policy from Ruetten to her father. Ruetten tried to get her father, Nels, to turn over the money to him. But Nels told the scumbag to fk off. Nels had all along told the lead detective, Lyle Mayer, to investigate Lazarus because Nels knew all about the trouble Lazarus was causing. Mayer was a bumbling fool who ignored Nels, and told him he watches too much TV. The case was handed to Lyle Mayer on a silver platter by Nels, but he was too dense to even go interview Lazarus.
I totally agree with you about John, he totally dropped the ball in protecting his wife from her and then subsequently letting her get away with it all those years. I didn't know all that about Sherri's father though! How did you find all of that out?
@@asantesamuel13 I think John Ruetten did worse than drop the ball. I think in some twisted way, he enjoyed the attention from Lazarus even after he was married Liked having two women at odds, vying for him. He deliberately stonewalled the investigation and kept what he knew about Lazarus from the cops. I think he didn't want to be embarrassed by having it come out that he had been having sex with Lazarus while engaged to Sherri and even after Lazarus killed her, he was still doing it with the nut killer. Reutten is just a sorry excuse for a man. The best source of info is the book....." The Lazarus Files: A Cold Case Investigation"
Wow all these years ive felt terrible for john but this completely changes my perspective. What a horrifying concept he could've prevented this whole thing
@Honudes Gai oh geez, golly, I didn't know all women were supposedly Stephanie Lazarus Would you like to hear a story of how I met the love of my life before I call out your narrow-minded generalization of women though 😍
@Mark Patino Once the word ' simp ' falls out of fashion you will be forced to articulate yourself properly. But for now, repeating a word 3 times like a caveman, will have to do :)
Investigator: "So when did you guys meet?" "Uhh Gee- we met when the uhhhhh righhhhhht dinasaurs walked on earth. I remember uhhhhh sitting on an dinasaur and suddenly astroid hit.... then I remember checking 10k photos."
Imagine being an otherwise upstanding and productive citizen, married for 13 years, your spouse thinks he know everything about you. Then you call him up out of the blue and are like “well hun, I’m in jail for murdering someone 25 years ago”. That had to have been a tough call to make and a tough call to receive.
It doesn't even matter. They already had the DNA evidence at this point and were ready to arrest her. I'm surprised they even needed to do this interrogation. They had already sent cops to Sherry's family's town waiting for this interview to end, ready to tell them the news that Stephanie was arrested.
@@antjobert Yeah it struck me as weird to that they would need to do this interview. Like, if they found her DNA on the bite it's kind of hard to make a defense to that. "I happened to discover the body and wanted to check her vitals using an old Navajo trick passed down in my family!" I suspect that thet kind of just wanted to talk to her themselves because she was a colleague they had worked with for a long time. Just out of curiosity and astonishment. Was this video even admissable in court? If it is then why do they do the miranda rights at all?
@@headlikeorange3600 Yep, they could have a video of the murder and still will try to get the person to confess. That bit of dialogue of them admitting it is way more damming than anything else the State may bring forward as evidence.
Why do people turn this shit political lol. Trump has been one of the best presidents in a longggg time. For real. Quit letting the fucking media brain wash you into thinking that he was a shitty president. As a person president trump may have flaws but as a president he did great things. Also fuck Biden that guy is a piece of shit that floats where the current takes him.
Nope, she knew way before. That's why she was so nervous, lying since the beginning and said something like ''well they're saying i fought her, that doesn't mean i killed her'' way before freaking out and 'realise' she is a suspect. She was just pretending coolness and cooperation all along
I still don’t understand how they were able to interrogate her without first reading her rights. Just because she would know to immediately ask for a lawyer, I mean that is her right and they did deny her that.
@@RoseMary-851 yes but the video they recorded wasn't used in court. They knew it was her cause the dna, but no regular interrogation would work so they did this scam not to show it in court as proof like regular interrogation where they read your rights but only to see her reaction as part of the investigation
Yeah other channels talk for like 10 mins and then just tag an hour or interrogation footage on to the vid where they interject like every 20 mins or so. So lazy. JCS had good production quality
I think the scariest thing about this is that she got married and after 20 years her husband probably never knew she was a sociopathic murderer.... crazy how that can happen
@Michael Evans Probably. If she was able to get away with this for that long, I'm sure it made her feel invincible. Being a police officer and then being in charge of the investigation department (I think it said this at the beginning) probably fueled that feeling.
But when she did it there was no technology to reliably trace her by the bite marks, right? So she wasn't thinking that this could get her in trouble, thus she could go feral. And also, she probably wasn't thinking at all if she decided to bite it in the first place.
Dawi From Another Hold there was but it wasn’t used often. Bite mark analysis was used to put Ted Bundy away, I assume it wasn’t applied here because she wasn’t a suspect.
In case anyone missed it, John’s brother played basketball at Cal St. Northridge from 1 million to 1,000,003 B.C. He was an All Conference Power Forward.
He played basketball at Northridge a million years ago. I don't even REMEMBER the last time I saw him on the court, it was so gosh-darn long ago. Did I have a conversation with him? Maybe, but again it was a million years ago, and I've taken 10,000 pictures of the basketball court since then, so I don't remember because it was so gee gosh dolly long ago!
Facts! Almost as soon as the subject of the videos starts talking I'm like "dumbass! You said way too much without invoking your rights!" I'm not the criminal type in anyway but in hearing the things my "friends" and coworkers might get into, I have learned that cops lie (and are allowed to do as much to get a confession, regardless of the seriousness of the charge), some WILL ABSOLUTELY try to violate the rights you have that they expect you to not know, and it is best to ask for counsel as soon as the opportunity arises because of these things (even if it is something as minor as a fender bender out drinks traffic stop).
@@hfarthingt I get your joking, but the point is that from the perspective of the accused (and clearly guilty here), it doesn't make any sense to run your mouth like this in terms of ones best interests. Of course I want her in prison, but I'm also a paralegal so I also like looking at these things not just from a moral perspective, but a legal one. Plus, it's honestly kind of hilarious how badly she screws herself since she clearly deserves it 😂
Jakub Lizon hmmm... a simple “no” would have been considered the normal, appropriate response to such a question. Notice how the suspect draws out the response in an attempt to “sell himself” and gain respect of the interrogator. Notice also how he frames his narrative (claiming to be a paralegal) providing details entirely irrelevant to the inquiry adding suspicion to the true motives of him watching the video...
@@hfarthingt what are you talking about? Am I not allowed to speak and explain myself? I mentioned I'm a paralegal only to further explain why I may be interested in these things, I didn't use it like I'm some authority. I really don't understand what your problem is, or why you've set this one word restriction on me. I chose to elaborate, in the chance that the reply wasn't entirely a joke. Again, I really don't understand what your problem is.
He did sleep with her, somewhat, after his wife's death. He never cared enough to ever marry her. I think she finally gave up on him and married someone else.
@@lydiaespiritu2752 it happened because yours was a documented case that they could see. It's not like they had a file on her saying "yup shes a murderer, but she'll make a damn good art detective"
I missed what the conclusive evidence was. Was it the DNA? Was the sample collected in 86? Still sounds sketchy. Did she happen to confess? Isn't that a bit sketchy too? I mean it's a sad story yes, but the video feels incomplete even with the video clip from the trial :(
Even though guilt is written all over her face how she got through the entire interrogation required nerves of steel. Considering the magnitude of the situation many would have folded. She’s now been considered for parole. Unbelievable.
She remembers a lot of unrelated details for someone who doesn't know how long she dated him... "We all lived on the tenth floor" girl I don't even remember what I had for lunch 😭😭
Even if she had come up with a fool proof lie, they still had the DNA match from her coffee cup and that would have been hard to explain away. 'Gosh, gee, I might have accidentally bitten her' wouldn't really have cut it...
Rewatching here, unbelievable the parole board was very close to letting this psycho out recently. Thanks to protests by Sherri's family and supporters that was blocked. Just unreal she would be considered 10 years before her sentence allowed.😡
I guess you never know until you're in that type of situation, but to have that little self awareness as to how you're acting and answering questions and to not request a lawyer is crazy to me.
@@Nebechadnezzar Sociopaths don't feel guilt/shame. We "normal" people may interpret her behavior as only "acting" offended as a strategy to get out, but if she's a sociopath then chances are she really did feel wronged by the interrogation, and to this day still thinks she didn't really do anything wrong.
Abusers and narcissistic types do this: if you confront them on their bad behaviour, they act offended, like they’re being attacked, because in their mind, it is. In their mind, they’re allowed to do whatever they like and if someone tries to stop them or make them face consequences THATS bad behaviour.
@@alexarias5717 They knew she had dated John before he got married. The victims family, and even the husband told them that Stephanie had been harassing and stalking the victim, even going to her work and threatening her there in front of witnesses. The victims father told them 5 times to look into Stephanie and was told to keep his mouth shut and stop making allegations. They knew this was a killing of a personal nature - burglars do not bite the victim and smash her face to an unrecognizable pulp after the victim is dead. They knew that burglars would not ransack the house to steal a marriage certificate.......this was an obvious cover up.
Umm gee.. I don’t know... Christopher Columbus? Doesn’t ring a bell 🌝 he found America? Doesn’t sound right... I mean that was like a million years ago I mean she’d be right but like...
"Hey Mrs. Lazarus can you quickly go over the chapter about ancient Egypt for us"? "Gee.. that was like.. 5000 years ago, doesn't sound familiar. I'll have to go check my pictures."
As an interrogator, herself, it's weird that Stephanie starts with a vague memory and progresses on to providing WAY too much specific information that disputes her earlier reports. Kind-of sad, really.
This is the video that got me hooked on Jim Can’t Swim! It is an absolute travesty that youtube messed with this channel and his other channels to the point that some videos had huge chunks cut out and some had to be removed completely! I wish there was a way to support JCS as well as see the original unedited/uncensored videos and the ones that were removed. This man singlehandedly spawned a whole new genre of videos but nobody can beat the original. Much love JCS. You are truly missed.
I dont even know what I did last month, so I was rather impressed she could recall when she got her scuber license and all the other stuff in her life from 20 years ago(except the things relevant to this case).
For me it's not so much about the memory but her behavior and expressions. Watch as it's pointed out when she's lying vs. her behavior/expressions when she's being truthful. It is so transparent but she thinks she's pulling it off! It's cringey.
@@MorbidKat Yeah she was probably overly confident that it happened 20 years ago and felt like the detectives were wasting their time. It’s crazy when they asked her for a DNA sample she said maybe, if I was the detective I would’ve been like “What? You’re a cop and it’s been 20 years, what are you afraid of?”
The best is when she is already making a face, then the cops hit her with another question so she makes a face on top of the face and looks incredibly crazy
Perfect description of what was happening. I wanted to go with the theory of her inner demon taking over her consciousness once that car was mentioned. 😆

The fact that she got away for 20+ years when she’s a terrible liar. If only they listened to the dad and just questioned her

I was waiting for this comment
I can't believe this woman has been recommended for parole!! I can't imagine how her victims family feels right now.
I doubt they even remember, gosh it was so long ago!
They take care of their own 🐷🐷🐷
It's a failure of our justice system that she got to live free for 23 years after her crime, barely do any time, and then live free at the end of her life.
I'm hoping she didn't get parole. I always thought the family was allowed to go to the parole hearings and voice their opinions.
I hope she doesn’t get parole either. What a slap in the face that this 🐷 cop murdered a young woman who actually contributed to society, only to be eligible for parole after finally being arrested.
Man I bet her heart absolutely sumo slammed into her stomach when that name was brought up
I was thinking the same this. She would have believed all those years that she got away with it.
I’ll bet every time DNA advances were made over the years, she’d get brown trousers.
You could hear it in her voice, I'd have loved to have seen her face.
Yep, she must have felt the urge to puke
Well, you'd have to feel regret for that. She clearly was okay with shooting that poor woman AND smashing her face in.
I think the second worst person involved in this is John. He was playing both these women. What a dick!
“Is your name Stephanie?”
“Well... gosh, I dunno. It could be. I mean... gee, my parents named me like a million years ago...”

LMAOOOO
the most eerie thing about this to me is that she’s probably having flashbacks the entire time of the exact moments of her ending sherry’s life. it’s terrifying how she got away with it for that long.
She got away with it for so long because she was a cop at the time of the investigation.
I've watched this video a couple times and what I can't get is how the cops thought The murder was done through burglary. There was injury caused after death. That is saying it's personal
Not only that, but his brother played basketball at Northridge

I can’t believe the parole board recommended release…..she’s only served 11 years so far. She hasn’t done enough time yet in my opinion.
Agree! I was stunned by that. She needs to stay there for good
That's not an opinion, that's fact.
Especially for a cunning sociopath.
I mean it's a waste of tax payer dollars one person got killed and her life in prison was likely hell being a former cop and all. Honestly it's amazing she lived this long being stupid enough to fall for all this (especially being a former cop)
I'm surprised that she was held to any account at all...

They did a really good job keeping her there without her wanting a lawyer.
She should have called the lawyer the minute they started asking about sherry, saying that I believe it's better if this goes through official channel.
That's the point and why they didn't answer what this was all about.
@Jeff Horsager well they had the DNA too remember. I don’t know if she would have gotten off but she could have had more time before getting arrested.
Duh it's not an interrogation
She didn't want to ask for a lawyer because she wanted to keep up a pretence of not having any idea that they were accusing her of anything, if she had asked for a lawyer that could have been seen as an admission that she understood they were going to be accusing her of murder and she wanted to avoid appearing to have any knowledge that the questioning would eventually take that turn. That's what I imagine her thinking was anyway.
When she mentioned she taught D.A.R.E. that hit me... imagine teaching a roomful of kids not to do drugs when you murdered someone in cold blood...

The real coward in this case was John Ruetten, Sherri's husband. He knew that Lazarus had been stalking and harrassing Sherri. But he never put his foot down and told Lazarus to back off. Then after the murder, he stonewalled the investigation when he could have immediately told them about what had been going on, but did not tell them. Sherri had changed the beneficiary on her life insurance policy from Ruetten to her father. Ruetten tried to get her father, Nels, to turn over the money to him. But Nels told the scumbag to fk off. Nels had all along told the lead detective, Lyle Mayer, to investigate Lazarus because Nels knew all about the trouble Lazarus was causing. Mayer was a bumbling fool who ignored Nels, and told him he watches too much TV. The case was handed to Lyle Mayer on a silver platter by Nels, but he was too dense to even go interview Lazarus.
I totally agree with you about John, he totally dropped the ball in protecting his wife from her and then subsequently letting her get away with it all those years. I didn't know all that about Sherri's father though! How did you find all of that out?
@@asantesamuel13 I think John Ruetten did worse than drop the ball. I think in some twisted way, he enjoyed the attention from Lazarus even after he was married Liked having two women at odds, vying for him. He deliberately stonewalled the investigation and kept what he knew about Lazarus from the cops. I think he didn't want to be embarrassed by having it come out that he had been having sex with Lazarus while engaged to Sherri and even after Lazarus killed her, he was still doing it with the nut killer. Reutten is just a sorry excuse for a man. The best source of info is the book....." The Lazarus Files: A Cold Case Investigation"

Imagine being an otherwise upstanding and productive citizen, married for 13 years, your spouse thinks he know everything about you.

She's clearly already forgotten the alibi/backstory that she planned if she were ever caught.
Exactly
It doesn't even matter. They already had the DNA evidence at this point and were ready to arrest her. I'm surprised they even needed to do this interrogation. They had already sent cops to Sherry's family's town waiting for this interview to end, ready to tell them the news that Stephanie was arrested.
@@antjobert Yeah it struck me as weird to that they would need to do this interview. Like, if they found her DNA on the bite it's kind of hard to make a defense to that. "I happened to discover the body and wanted to check her vitals using an old Navajo trick passed down in my family!"
I suspect that thet kind of just wanted to talk to her themselves because she was a colleague they had worked with for a long time. Just out of curiosity and astonishment. Was this video even admissable in court? If it is then why do they do the miranda rights at all?

Abusers and narcissistic types do this: if you confront them on their bad behaviour, they act offended, like they’re being attacked, because in their mind, it is. In their mind, they’re allowed to do whatever they like and if someone tries to stop them or make them face consequences THATS bad behaviour.

This man singlehandedly spawned a whole new genre of videos but nobody can beat the original. Much love JCS. You are truly missed.
“that’s not ringing any bells for me, so clearly i didn’t kill her because if i had - the bells would be ringing”
So simple yet hillarious.
sounds legit to me🤔
The classic "I couldn't/wouldn't have done something like that, so I didn't, besides I think I'd remember"
The bells are silent, man
“I hear no bells. I scuba dive and am a picture nut, but bells? I don’t hear them. I don’t even know what they are.”
This woman is painful to listen to. The interviewer has great patience
Keyboard Warrior she’s having such a hard time lying, such uncomfortable memories.
Dear god. She knows full well that she shouldn't be talking to these guys, and still can't help but INTERRUPT every five seconds.
I made it to 30 minutes and I couldn’t take it anymore. Poor interviewer.
Dan I know right they couldn’t tell her to get to the point or be to obvious so they had to just sit through her frantic tangents
I agree the interrogators did a great job. reeling her in. This video is just as damming as the DNA bite.
So she was beaten after she was dead and bitten, but they thought it was a burglary gone wrong? Ok
@Kilam yeah I was so fucking confused about that part like damn girl you mad mad
She’s a psycho!
You're conflating beatcops detectives and medical examiners, mate.
26 years later ...... Wait what? She was bitten??!
@Kilam just shows how inefficient LAPD has always been
She’s describing her relationship with him more like a bootie call
Slowly binging through this channel, and the comments on this are PURE GOLD.
Agreed
I keep coming back for the comments😄😂
This channel is great I only discovered it last week. Who doesn't love killer interrogations 😊
We need new videos! Ive watched everyone one if them at least 10 times!!!
everyone is just so hilarious, I spend hours in the comments :)))))
Who else has second hand embarrassment right now? Like seriously she forgot her entire life 🤦♀️
Yeees! Like ,damn lady, you are "police"! She has to know how transparent her charade is!
I dont even know what I did last month, so I was rather impressed she could recall when she got her scuber license and all the other stuff in her life from 20 years ago(except the things relevant to this case).
@@MoxxoM yeah but that’s you. This is a cop. This a women who has been trained to have a great memory and someone who should have great recall.
For me it's not so much about the memory but her behavior and expressions. Watch as it's pointed out when she's lying vs. her behavior/expressions when she's being truthful. It is so transparent but she thinks she's pulling it off! It's cringey.
@@MorbidKat Yeah she was probably overly confident that it happened 20 years ago and felt like the detectives were wasting their time. It’s crazy when they asked her for a DNA sample she said maybe, if I was the detective I would’ve been like “What? You’re a cop and it’s been 20 years, what are you afraid of?”
The best is when she is already making a face, then the cops hit her with another question so she makes a face on top of the face and looks incredibly crazy
Perfect description of what was happening.
I wanted to go with the theory of her inner demon taking over her consciousness once that car was mentioned. 😆
That's like when Mel Blanc does Bugs Bunny impersonating Daffy, trying to fool
Fud Whacker.
@@terrellmoses OH MY GOD. as I was reading the comments, that part came on as soon as I read your comment 😮😱😂😂😂😂
Timestamp lol ?
@@raflim timestamp?
Where did the 1 hour version go? That one was better.
