Ep. 77-From Fires To Festivals: Detroit’s Devil’s Night Turns Community Delight

Flames once defined October 30 in Detroit, but the city refused to be a cautionary tale. We trace Devil’s Night from its Mischief Night roots to the 1980s arson crisis, then into the grassroots movement that rebranded chaos as Angel’s Night and, eventually, “Halloween in the D.” It’s a story of how neighbors, volunteers, and a determined fire department pulled together to turn fear into civic pride—proof that traditions can bend without breaking.

We also explore how Halloween itself keeps evolving. Many families now favor trunk-or-treats, zoo nights, and community festivals over door-to-door treks. Safety, participation, and changing neighborhood rhythms all play a role. What matters is the communal spark: people still gather in costume for small scares and big laughter. The rituals adapt; the magic stays.

For the final lap of spooky season, we wander Detroit’s most talked-about haunts: the Leland Hotel with its grim history and City Club lore; The Whitney, a 22,000-square-foot mansion echoing with Flora’s sobs, a ghostly attendant, and the weight of its hospice years; and Elmwood Cemetery, where the Battle of Bloody Run left a creek with a name—and a legend—that endures. From phantom gangsters to the veiled monument of Eliza Waterman, these stories are more than jump scares; they’re the city’s memory, stitched into walls, stairwells, and tree-lined paths.

If you love urban legends, true crime adjacency, and real community wins, you’ll feel right at home here. Listen, share with a friend who loves Halloween history and haunted places, then send us your own ghost stories—we might read them on a future show. If you’re new, hit follow and leave a quick review to help more curious listeners find us.

Crow Quotes And Devil’s Night

SPEAKER_01 0:00

Happy devil's night.

SPEAKER_02 0:02

Fire it up. Fire it up. Fire it up.

SPEAKER_01 0:06

This is Hold My Sweet Tea.

SPEAKER_02 0:45

I'm Pearl. And I'm Holly. And what an introduction. Like that was the best. That's fun. Yes, it was. Because, you know, we're both huge mega fans of the crow.

SPEAKER_01 1:01

Yes.

SPEAKER_02 1:02

Yes, we are. And turns out Devil's Night is real. Yeah. And here's Pearl talking about the devil again. Again. Always with something with the devil in it. But like that's, you know, one of the things that I guess Detroit is known for is Devil's Night.

SPEAKER_01 1:26

Especially Detroit. Yeah. Now, that doesn't mean other places didn't have them because they did. Right. Most of those states called it like mischief night. Mischief, yeah. Mischief night. That's what New Orleans called, things like that. Yeah. So, but yeah, Detroit's Devil's Night was probably the most uh well-known. Right.

SPEAKER_02 1:45

And it was mostly um like teenage boys.

SPEAKER_01 1:50

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:50

It wasn't running around, you know, it wasn't like the crow. Throwing rocks through people's windows and playing tricks and doing all kinds of stuff.

SPEAKER_01 2:00

Then I guess the the nature of the fires in the city and stuff could be comparable. Yeah. But it I'm not saying it wasn't grown people, but it was mostly young boys.

SPEAKER_02 2:15

Young, yeah, teenage and into their 20s, I'm sure. But I mean, it it takes on all kinds of all kinds of forms. But Pearl and I every year, without fail, send each other some kind of message that says, Happy Devil's Night.

SPEAKER_01 2:36

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 2:36

We've yet to get a Devil's Night greeting card for each other, but it's in the movie.

SPEAKER_01 2:41

We usually send out like the little fire it up ones, like the intro or some other quote from the crow.

SPEAKER_02 2:52

Yeah. And we we try to keep up tradition, just like Rex Manning Day. Like, yeah. Gotta keep up the traditions.

SPEAKER_01 2:59

We do. We do. Gotta they will live on forever in our hearts. Absolutely.

SPEAKER_02 3:05

Rest in peace, Brad and Lee. Absolutely. The OG and only.

SPEAKER_01 3:10

Yeah. The only person who ever should have been. Eric Draven. Yeah, they should it should have been over after that. You should have just let it go.

SPEAKER_02 3:17

And I I should have named my child Draven, even though he tells me, no, I'm glad you didn't, because I was gonna name him Draven. And I changed my mind, and dang it.

SPEAKER_01 3:28

I'm not sure why he even cares. Hardly anybody knows his name. No. Everybody just calls him Skeet Skeet. Oh my god. Ah, Skeet Skeet.

Mischief Night Origins And Evolution

SPEAKER_02 3:42

Hilarious. I mean, it's fitting because he is a moody Scorpio. Right. He should have taken Draven should have been fine. Dark brooding name. Right. He is dark and brooding. All right. That's funny.

SPEAKER_01 3:58

So yeah, it's a good segue here. Just head on into the night before Halloween, October 30th. Today. Devil's night. Devil's night. It was always uh interesting to read about like histories of cities, but even more interesting when it's something that once was pretty negative, but was able to be turned into a positive, which would be Detroit's Devil's Night. Because it was, you know, once marked with flames and fear, and everybody expecting all the pranksters to be out and all of that. But now it's kind of turned into a sign of how powerful a community coming together can be. So Devil's Night was actually a European tradition, which was called mischief night. Yes. And it can be traced back to Britain. Much like Devil's Night in Detroit, Mischief Night on the other side of the pond was full of pranks committed by youth. It made it to the United States during like the 30s and 40s. So a long, long time ago.

SPEAKER_02 5:32

And it's this is all precursor to what we celebrate now. And all Halloween's Eve and Halloween. It it's evolved and stuff. I was just complaining the other day that nobody trick-or-treats anymore. They trunker treat. And I'm like, Yeah. Our tradition of our childhood is dying. It is.

SPEAKER_01 5:53

It's it's so sad. There's more it and I guess maybe it's a safety thing too. It is. That they're like, you know what? It's just best if we trunk or treat with a bunch of people we know. But I mean, your neighborhood is people you know. But I will say that a lot of neighborhoods I know around us, there's so many people who just don't participate. It's like you're you're either bringing your kids to bigger neighborhoods where you know other kids like a lot of other kids live, or foo at the zoos. Yeah, something like that.

SPEAKER_02 6:23

Just like that. A bunch of community stuff. So yeah, the like our our Halloween traditions are kind of dying out and they're going into other traditions. So just like Devil's Night. Exactly.

From Pranks To Arson In Detroit

SPEAKER_01 6:38

But in the 30s and 40s, cities across the country started experiencing like higher numbers of vandalism and pranks, fires, just you name it, ding-dong dishes. On October 30th. So some historians even cite the rise of Devil's Night to something that was called Black Tuesday, which was on October 29th. But that's also when the stock market crashed. And it caused the Great Depression. And so they feel like that instance of extreme poverty is what caused the rise in those incidents.

SPEAKER_02 7:31

And then it became a tradition. Right, the vandalism and all that stuff. People, you know, taking things from businesses.

SPEAKER_01 7:40

Yeah. And so from the 40s to the 70s, the stuff that was happening in Detroit on Devil's Night was really quite harmless and just kind of aggravating to police. But they just escalated. So things went from like egging homes, rolling homes. Rolling homes. Like we did to my dad.

SPEAKER_02 8:07

Oh, that was that was so fun. Which was hilarious. I don't know how they didn't hear us because we were giggling the whole time.

SPEAKER_01 8:12

Was not devil's night. However, it was funny as heck. And we wrapped my grandpa's truck in toilet paper, which I'm sure he really was upset when he got up. But my my dad calling me was the best. And he's like, these damn kids. Someone TP'd are out and rolled your grandpa's truck and blah blah blah. And he's like, and the dogs didn't even bark. And I went, oh no, I should have made the dogs bark.

SPEAKER_02 8:40

Right. And that's what I was saying the whole time. We were giggling the whole time we were doing it.

SPEAKER_01 8:46

Yeah. And then I laughed at the end of his phone call and he's like, you did it. And I was like, yeah. He's like, no wonder why the dogs didn't bark. Right. He's like, you're lucky I already cleaned it up. I make you come do it. I was like, make me.

SPEAKER_02 9:01

What? How? But right. That's the kind of mischief that would have started. Yeah. Not teaching it. It started that way and things like that.

SPEAKER_01 9:10

Yeah, it started that way. Nothing too extreme, nothing dangerous, just silly stuff. It was in the early 80s when all of that started to change. You know, after I was born. Yeah. They were like, oh, the devil's here. Yeah, that's right. They were like, oh, that girl that's going to talk about the devil every time she gets on her podcast. She was just born. Let's go. Lego. But rising unemployment contributed to empty properties. We all know how uh like that happened in Detroit. Bad. Oh, bad. Bad. And so that became like the perfect target for any arsonist.

SPEAKER_02 9:57

They're like, all these empty places, let's just go see.

Community Fights Back: Angel’s Night

SPEAKER_01 10:00

There's nobody in it, so they think it's fine. Yeah. It's totally not fine. It's not. Fire spreads by. Arson is not fine at all. So they start with setting fires to abandoned properties in probably 1984-ish. And that year, the Detroit Fire Department had actually had to respond and extinguish more than 800 fires across the city. That's a lot. That literally ended up being the highest number of recorded fires in the city on a devil's night. Wow. Eight stinking hundred. Like, how did they even do that? There's no way they could have kept up with all this.

SPEAKER_02 10:47

No. They don't even have that many people to like they don't even have that many fire trucks to get to all those.

SPEAKER_01 10:54

And I I know a lot of it probably had to do with like them counting it like from it spreading too, because like you know, right with one structure to the other. You only intended to burn down the empty one, but that doesn't mean the net like three houses down where somebody actually is still living doesn't catch fire. Yeah. And so obviously the destruction of property, injuries of people, and even death have occurred due to these arsons on the phone.

SPEAKER_02 11:21

And these empty houses are just like dry tender and they just catch really fast.

SPEAKER_01 11:27

So then that year is when, you know, something that was like a a simple prank, ha ha, funny funny, we'll get over it. It's easy to clean up, became this huge citywide arson problem. Right. And obviously, the police force is not as big as it used to be at that point because there's not a lot of people living there. They're having to move away to find work in other places. And the like we said, the fire department would be shorthanded. How the heck did they deal with all of that? And so they were really at that point not able to control that chaos that occurred on Devil's Night. So then it became a plea to the community like help us help you. Right. Please stop setting fires. Yes. So they organize an anti-arson campaign and call call it Angels in the Streets. And so they're trying to turn Devil's Night into Angel's Night. Okay. So to try to help change this scenery and encourage people not to set things on fire or commit severe front severe crimes in the city of Detroit, there was a curfew that they enacted in in 1986. So anybody under the age of 18 couldn't be out past 10 p.m. on October 30th because of this situation. Those were the mischief makers, right? Yes. If you were accompanied by an adult, okay.

SPEAKER_02 13:15

But dad took me out to set this fire.

Halloween Traditions Shift And Safety

SPEAKER_01 13:17

Yeah, right. Exactly. But it was like they they started out with just the day and then they expanded it. So it's like around those days just to kind of squelch any crazy stuff. In 1995, the city decided to enlist volunteers in the neighborhoods themselves to try to help keep people from not just setting the fires, but also to try to help prevent the flames from spreading. Like because now they've got like so many people.

SPEAKER_02 13:53

Right. So if they see something, they're out there with their garden hoses trying to something. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 13:58

The bucket brigade brigade. Brigade. I can't talk. But they basically operated the same as like neighborhood watch at that point. And they would walk around the community, especially on Devil's Night, and like report any activity they see that was like sus. They were like, yeah, I saw little Johnny behind that house over there. I'm gonna go call somebody. But little Johnny gets in trouble a lot. And so that's why I said they they Angels Night was what would become the city-sanctioned volunteer operation. And they they called it gorilla style surveillance. Oh gosh. I'm like, whoa. But they would they would tell authorities if somebody was out past curfew, any of that. Like literally, you weren't getting away with Jack Dudley on on the new Angel's night. Well snitches. Right. And it worked. So it worked so well that by 2017 there was no reason to continue. Oh, okay. And so there's a new community celebration on that day. And they call it Halloween in the D. Oh God. Not sure that that was a good choice. But, you know, it's not it's not that big old problem now. It's become something positive again. So it's more about fun and fun and yeah. Community celebration and not setting people's old houses on fire. And like I said before, like this is something that was kind of everywhere. It wasn't just Detroit, and they weren't the only ones that had, you know, big problems with people doing things that were beyond the normal mischievous stuff. So, like, you know, Philadelphia, Baltimore, New Orleans, of course, all had their own versions of Desel, of Devil's Night. The Devil. The Devil. But it is no longer marked by fear, fire, and chaos.

SPEAKER_02 16:19

Not at all. And New Orleans has you know the Halloween parade. There's all kinds of things that are celebrated here for Halloween, all kinds of events.

SPEAKER_01 16:30

Yeah, there's plenty of stuff to keep you busy.

SPEAKER_02 16:32

Anrice vampire ball. There's tons. Tons. And come in costume. You can come in costume any time of the year.

Haunted Detroit: The Leland Hotel

SPEAKER_01 16:40

I was about to say in New Orleans, you can wear whatever you want. Right. Be what you want to be, girl, boy, whatever. Clown. Vampire Urkel. Yeah. Like my son right here. Oh my God. That is that is definitely the city of acceptance.

SPEAKER_02 17:00

It does not matter. Nope. Nobody's gonna look at you and go, what the nope. I don't care.

SPEAKER_01 17:06

They're just gonna be like, it's New Orleans. I love it. These people are great. Exactly. So in conjunction with all of this, I decided it would be kind of neat to just kind of tell you about some haunted places. Around Detroit. Because this is the last episode of the spooky season. We get back to all the murder. All the missing or missing. Yeah. Instead of the oogity boogity ghostesses.

SPEAKER_02 17:42

I do have a I do have a Thanksgiving episode, though. I am like a scoured. Scoured. That's funny. Schmurder on Thanksgiving. It's not a schmorgisborg. Not a smorgasbord. Don't call up, don't carve up, Dad. Carve the turkey.

SPEAKER_01 18:02

Get it together. All right. So let's hear it. So we'll start with the Leland Hotel in Detroit. And it's kind of referred to as being Michigan's Cecil Hotel. Oh.

SPEAKER_02 18:21

Yeah. So then you're like, now I'm interested. There we go.

SPEAKER_01 18:25

And the reason for that is because of the number, the extreme number of deaths, murders, suicides, overdoses, freak accidents, just people disappearing. And all of these things have like just compounded. So that's like a very uh long history of all of this. Yes. Because they opened on April 20th in 1927. Oh, long time ago. Yeah, so they were even there before the Devil's Night started. Wow. It's crazy because it's got quite the little history of being like uh the spot for Jimmy Hoffa.

SPEAKER_02 19:08

Oh, okay. So there was some uh activity, some criminal activity going on with the paranormal activity.

SPEAKER_01 19:15

And it's honestly one of the most frequented buildings in the city during the Great Depression. So despite people being, oh, they were still going through. They were still going. They were still hitting up the Leland Hotel. I'm like, what was happening there?

SPEAKER_02 19:30

But also like hotels back in that era were meeting places. There were, you know, ballrooms and sitting areas and restaurants and things like that. So it wasn't only just a place to like stop and like I'm gonna sleep here.

SPEAKER_01 19:47

There were other things, yeah. And it was the building that you went to because misery loves company. Exactly. So it's actually like pretty bad now. It's like, you know, in a state of rapid decay, it's gross. Yeah. And obviously, people still trying to mess with it because of its nefarious reputation. So lots of people just believe that the Leland Hotel itself is cursed. And anybody who visits there gets thrown into the struggles of this hotel and the curse of this hotel, and they suffer because of the building's curse. It's not even your own. Okay. They say that there are phantom gangsters.

unknown 20:50

Nice.

SPEAKER_01 20:52

And victims of the Great Depression that can be seen roaming the halls of the property. People who have visited the hotel report having really messed up dreams post their visit. I guess so. With uh like they're being stalked, or they can hear sounds of choking. Odd looking men and women who just don't seem like they fit. They fit, yes.

SPEAKER_02 21:31

So interesting. Put that one on your bucket list if you're ever up in uh Michigan.

SPEAKER_01 21:38

It also served as low-income housing at one time. And its last remaining nightclub is still active, apparently. What called City Club. Okay. And this club has its own resident googly moogly. I bet. Who apparently appears with long white Albertine Steiny disheveled hair and has bulging eyes. Oh. Yeah. And he's been known to scare the uh guests at the club by running up and down the stairs. Like you just hear with his bulging eyes and wild hair.

SPEAKER_02 22:39

And he does it on all fours. Oh, okay. Everybody's like, what's he on?

SPEAKER_00 22:45

Oh, happening over there.

SPEAKER_01 22:51

Now, of course, you should all know that City Club open on the weekends, and you'll never guess what it caters to. Hmm. What? The alternative goth community.

SPEAKER_02 23:08

Yes. Because who else would go there? Yeah, duh. Like you literally sent me that property this morning of the church, uh, like with the graveyard for sale and all that stuff. And I'm like, oh, I would 100% buy that and like goth it out inside.

SPEAKER_01 23:29

Yeah. The next place we visit is the Whitney. So there was a very well-known lumber baron, I guess is what they called him. David Whitney Jr. Of course, these guys have to build a massive mansion. Of course. I mean, I've got the money. I've got the wood. And the wood. Right. I've got all the wood at my disposal. Let's go. So it says that he built a 22,000 square foot. Holy wow. Dream mansion. Not hundred, guys. Not 2,200. Thousand.

SPEAKER_00 24:14

Thousand.

SPEAKER_01 24:14

That's a lot of square feet. Yeah, it is. Lots of feet. Yeah. Lots and lots. Lots of feet no matter what shape they're in. Right.

SPEAKER_02 24:22

Did he have secret passageways like H.H. Holmes? You know? And trapdoors that fall down? Where's this door go to? Boom! Nowhere.

SPEAKER_01 24:33

So initially, the fun thing is that he he built this house for his wife at the time, who he loved very much, and her name was Flora. But she passed away in 1894. And after the construction of the house was complete, Mr. Whitney, in all his glory, married Flora's sister.

SPEAKER_02 25:03

Oh, goodness. Sarah. She probably passed away because she couldn't find the kitchen and she'd like died of starvation because the house was so big.

SPEAKER_01 25:11

Well, they say that it's because he needed help with their child with the children. So she came to help parent her four nieces and nephews, and I'm going, okay. Convenient. Weird still. Hello, Auntie Mom. Right. Auntie Mom. Auntie Mom Sarah. So they lived a decent life, I suspect, because there's not a whole lot on that. Um but they're saying that because of this whole situation and her sister moving into her house and becoming the mother of her children, Flora was not a happy dead lady. They say that you can hear a sobbing woman and see her sitting on a couch in the third floor lounge. It's close to the women's restrooms. Oh, okay. They say that her cries are hysterical and loud and blood curdling.

SPEAKER_02 26:21

Girl, get over him. Right.

SPEAKER_01 26:23

Ain't worth it. Maybe she's mourning the fact that she didn't get to live there. Probably so. This is my house. It ain't even about the kids. Right.

SPEAKER_02 26:33

It ain't about the kids and you. I just wanted to live in this house.

Elmwood Cemetery And Bloody Run

SPEAKER_01 26:36

Right. And there's also a ghostly bathroom attendant that's been spotted in the same area as Flora. It's like your butt napkins, my lord. They say that Mr. Whitney himself died inside the house of a heart attack, and that his spirit is often visiting the third floor as well, but he's near what they call the ghost bar.

SPEAKER_02 27:09

Okay. I would have a ghost bar in my house, too. That'd be cool.

SPEAKER_01 27:14

And they believe, too, that Sarah's ghost lives on there as well, but she's in the basement of all places.

SPEAKER_02 27:23

Why is she in the basement? Because she's hiding from her sister. Right? She's like, don't I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I'll stay in the basement.

SPEAKER_01 27:31

No, not as if it weren't enough that all these people had lived there and passed away. This mansion after everyone was gone was taken over by the Wayne County Medical Society.

SPEAKER_00 27:45

Oh.

SPEAKER_01 27:46

And it served as hospice.

SPEAKER_02 27:49

Oh, so there's more spirits there.

SPEAKER_01 27:52

Okay. It was a tuberculosis hospice.

SPEAKER_02 27:57

Okay, so it's like just teeming with yeah.

SPEAKER_01 28:02

Paranormal activity. What's now a guest dining room on the second floor is where all those to TB board patients stayed. Wow. So of course, you now see people in period clothing on the second floor in that room. And even in the elevator. Which throws visitors off guard, obviously, and scares everybody. Like, what was that? Who was that? Who was that on the elevator? Oh that fine young gentleman.

SPEAKER_02 28:42

Check out those trousers. Look at those butt cheeks. His gowns open in the back.

SPEAKER_01 28:49

There's also a carriage house on this property that's supposed to be incredibly haunted as well. And it was used by Grace Whitney, one of David and Flora's daughters, all the time for her afternoon tea. She took it in the carriage house. That carriage house was taken over by the Visiting Nurse Association. And they say that Grace's ghost still haunts the carriage house. And there's a couple of not so nice spirits out there. One of which is a nurse with no eyeballs. Oh. She has hollowed out eye sockets.

SPEAKER_02 29:44

Somebody gouged her eyes.

SPEAKER_01 29:46

I'm like, they didn't wrap her whole head like Silent Hill.

SPEAKER_02 29:48

Like Silent Hill, that's what I'm saying. Like, come on.

SPEAKER_01 29:52

So they you can visit the Whitney and have your own supernatural encounter. Put that on the list too. The big joke is the Disney's haunted mansion has nothing on the Whitney.

SPEAKER_02 30:10

I bet.

SPEAKER_01 30:11

But I'm like, yeah, there's a big difference between actually haunted and Disney haunted.

SPEAKER_02 30:17

Disney haunted, right.

SPEAKER_01 30:21

And no haunting would be complete without having a haunted cemetery. Right. So Elmwood Cemetery will be our third and final stop for today's adventure. Devil's Night Tour. It's obviously very historic, beautiful, much like any other old cemetery that's been actually cared for. Yeah. And they say that it's got like a very beautiful landscape for being a cemetery, like super, super pretty.

Resources, Listener Stories, And Safety

SPEAKER_02 30:55

Yeah, because you want it to be serene and peaceful, like for your final resting place for your family.

SPEAKER_01 31:01

Yeah. But it was also the site of the Battle of Bloody Run. Where Chief Pontiac had ordered Captain Dalzell and his 160 British soldiers to be executed. Uh-oh.

SPEAKER_02 31:21

So there's a lot of stuff going on there.

SPEAKER_01 31:23

They say it was like a super violent battle. Yeah. And that the creek that's on that property ran red with British blood. I knew you were gonna say that. The creek is still in the cemetery, guys. And it's known as Bloody Run Creek. Yeah. There you go. Makes sense, right? Mm-hmm. So of course there are spirits of soldiers in red coats that love to scare everybody who comes. I mean, what ghost doesn't? There's nothing else to do.

SPEAKER_02 32:02

Right, there's nothing else to do. They're like, heads up, here comes somebody. Let's go. It's showtime.

SPEAKER_01 32:10

There's actually. Okay, so this cemetery is supposedly known as the home of the most haunted headstone. Oh. Got a haunted headstone. In the state of Michigan. Haunted headstone. It is a monument, really, of a veiled lady. And it belongs to Eliza Waterman. Poor Eliza. Oh no. Had a cheater of a husband. Sorry, Eliza. And apparently she seeks revenge in death. Don't be philandering, men. No. They come they come back.

SPEAKER_02 32:59

They will come back. We will get our revenge.

SPEAKER_01 33:05

It is said that if you touch Eliza's headstone, you will wake her vengeful spirit.

SPEAKER_02 33:17

Be like, I have a list of uh potential people you can haunt for me. Right. Can you help me out?

SPEAKER_01 33:24

Which looking at this monument and the waking of the vengeful spirit, it brings me back to the dumb Lady Gaga joke. How do you wake up, Lady Gaga? Poker face. Poker face.

SPEAKER_02 33:39

And then she wakes up and goes, rah, rah, rah, rah, rah. That's right.

SPEAKER_01 33:45

It was a bad romance. It was.

SPEAKER_02 33:47

It was a very bad one. She's like, I will get you, even in the afterlife.

SPEAKER_01 33:52

So, of course, there are reports of Eliza's, not Lady Gaga's ghost. She is very much alive. Yes, she is. And um being spotted throughout the cemetery. She will sometimes get in your car. She's gone home with people. She's like, Can you take me to the store?

unknown 34:12

Right.

SPEAKER_01 34:13

She's gone home with people, probably checking to see if her husband's there. Right. She's like that ho. But you can go on a self-guided tour of this cemetery and see if you can catch a glimpse of a dead soldier. Maybe go wake up Eliza, take her to your house, let her look around, have some tea. Wreak a little havoc. Right.

SPEAKER_02 34:40

It wasn't me, it was Eliza.

SPEAKER_01 34:42
