Right? I was initially worried for like, a few seconds, he was gonna be saddled with a lifetime of terrible knock on affects mentally, of the whole ordeal. If anything, Jodi has taken the terrible darkness that has happened, made it his own bitch and bent the universe to his will. Fuckin, Americana, (without the pedophilia, clearly) A dad kills his sons abuser, son grows to be a fuckin G and help others fight the same dark spectres. Be a dude, don't be a dick, fuckin shred pedos, that Gary Plauche headshot was fuckin LEET. Real life, 360 no scope... Gah damn, glorious. Why would you want to own a gun? Cuz some fuckers are fuckin touching the kids, and I ain't gonna be super stoked knifing the shithead but guns are much better Fuckin, from this random dude on the internet, fuckin super proud of you, Jodi, ya fuckin legend.
The fact that the son of Gary and his family thought so highly of you all honestly shows how good of people you all are. Great fuckin podcast and conmunity
This whole time i expected for Gary to be this distant, quiet, mildly estranged boomer dad whose high point in fatherhood/life was killing the man who took "freestyle" karate to a new level. In reality he was the best father possible and that warms my unsub jaded heart.
So I'm the father of a victim and I now have sole custody and am a single full time dad. My daughter was abused by Cameron Carden if anyone would like to look up the case, but with all of that said. I look up to this man's father, because when my daughter was abused, the night I found out, I sat outside the abusers house and contemplated giving the man justice myself. My grandfather knew what was happening because he's the person my daughter told about the abuse, and he called me and told me that he wasn't trying to stop me, but if I continued with my plan, he couldn't raise my daughter and that would cause her to be put in states custody. That was able to stop me, and I'm grateful, but there are times I think about it and my blood boils. When I see the video of Gary doing what he did it vicariously helps me feel a little bit better about allowing the man that hurt my daughter to continue breathing. I want to thank Gary for that! It's not much but that's all I can do!
A good man is stands up for himself, a great man stands up for others. You stood up for your daughter in your own way, by making sure she was raised in a loving and safe place.
Gramps could've taken care of this one I'm being kinda jokey, this situation sucks. I just always think of an unorthodox solution in situations where people only see two possible outcomes. You're there for your daughter and that matters the most.
I grew up in Baton Rouge. I am old enough to remember where the pay phones were that this happened. Gary was a LEGEND. As teenagers me and my friends would regularly tell others the story of the pinnacle of a father's vengeance on the person caused his family pain. RIP Gary Plauche.
Honestly I think a big part of trauma for a lot of people is knowing they were helpless. I think what his dad did actually did have a big impact on making what happened less traumatic. I feel like it’s a lot easier to not build up the perpetrator as some nightmarish monster in your head that victimized you when you’ve seen them sprawled out with a bullet in their head.
My father was a juvenile investigator in our county. It was very traumatizing for him as he loved kids. Seeing the nasty lows people stooped to with kids affected him greatly. The sheriff finally had to transfer him to a different job. My hat's tipped to all who carry the torch to investigate these crimes.
Mad respect for the first trigger warning ever to be about pedophilia. A trigger warning for truly horrific content; not for insults and offensive words.
Trigger warnings shouldn't exist period, not how they did it at least. A simple "Hey guys today we are talking about pedos. If you don't like it click away now" would have sufficed
@@marcdeluna8674Well the thing he suggested also works as a content warning so I guess it’s all the stuff surrounding it than the trigger warning itself
I broke down crying when Jody gave you guys his Dad's hunting license. Jody you are one good dude, and I'm so glad you're there for all those kids who need you.
I'm a teacher at a facility that helps restore victims of human trafficking. Many times when I hear my students' stories I think of Gary and how I wish there were more men like him.
@@jongriggs85 I'm not sure if you're looking for an exact number. I can't give you one because I don't know (I've been doing this for 19 years and never thought to keep count of that statistic). However I'm sure the data is out there somewhere. What I can tell you is that it does happen. Interestingly, most of the HT victims that run away from foster care are running back to their handler, not their family (unless they are the same). It also happens that some foster families victimize the youth in their care. Let's be honest and recognize that humans can be despicable. There are many success stories too, which makes it difficult to overhaul the system. You don't want to destroy someone's chance at growth because someone else suffered. The number one predictor of recidivism is educational success. When a child is on the right track with their schooling and feels hopeful about their future, they are far less likely to return to an unhealthy lifestyle. Now, if only fixing the education system was easy, we could help every child.
The f.....g balls that man has to share so much in the name of being a role model for victims is inspiring. It's one thing to move on and live your life but to expose yourself to reliving it with his candidness is just bad ass.
As a "survivor," less than a minute in; thank you in advance. Gallows humor has been one the only things that got me through life. Ex: when my kid was found to have eye cancer, my immediate reaction was "Guess that Halloween with me easy as hell, just dress him like a pirate..." Thank you all for all your efforts, here and elsewhere.
My best friend, a man I consider my younger brother. He lost his mom at age 18, she was cremated. 2 years ago was the 10 year anniversary of her passing and he wasn't having a good time of it. So he sked me "bro, roast me." So I wrote down the address to the crematorium that handled his mother and told him "They give the best roasts, just ask your mom." He laughed so hard he about passed out. When he was finally able to breathe again, he said "This is why we're friends."
Wow...watching Eli and Jody laughing their heads off while Brandon smiles awkwardly and Cody's trying very hard to teleport to anywhere else was simply magnificent. Great episode with a great guest, I'll always be happy watch content honoring the 1984 Father of the Year.
you could just see the gleam in his eyes that he was about to make everyone at that table morbidly uncomfortable and laugh at the same time. the fuckin comedic evil genius of that joke is legendary
That movie came out in the Summer of 1984...a few months after the shooting. I'm leaning to the title" "The Karate Kid: Whacked On...Jacked Off" Don't even ask about "Karate Kid 2"
I've been hearing about Gary Plauche since I was a kid in the 90s. I'm glad we finally got to hear Jodys story from his own mouth. Much respect for how you handle your trauma and channel it to help others, you're just as much a hero as your old man if not more so.
I’ll be honest when this hit my inbox my first thought was “ I hope the guys don’t make Jody uncomfortable and make the podcast super weird “ but 5 minutes in I realize it’s quite the opposite
Absolutely, with how lax our judicial system has become towards these troglodytes, that judge/“the state” did their job( knowing if there were no repercussions, vigilantes would’ve gone ham.. even though we all in here would’ve let Gary off). God Bless Gary
Typical emotional feel good thinking. The guy had other kids. Most of the time, this case results in Gary's kids growing up without a father. He just got lucky. That doesn't mean what he did was overall the best.
That was a great episode. A comedian friend of mine once told me. “Make the audience uncomfortable and fuck with their heads.” The strength that this man has and all the things he has over come.
I still wonder if the episode direction in general had my subconscious egging him on. But also, I was genuinely interested in how strokg that blade spring is. Lol
I love this! Was a probation officer for SO’s in az…can’t tell you how many times those intrusive thoughts ….like would the world really miss this fool…come into PO’s heads…run to the youtube channel in the morning and this episode is prime!!!! God bless!
I'm probably somewhere on the spectrum as well. The only reason I know I'm not some kinda antisocial maniac is because it bothers me when people mistreat animals, children, the sick/infirm/disabled, and the elderly, which are your average sociopath or psychopath's most common victims. I also work retail and it's the most mentally draining job I've ever held. Carrying out fake conversations with people over inconsequential stuff, watching them walk around the store like NPCs looking at everything because their programming tells them to just bugs me, they walk around like crows, going "ooh shiny!'" and spend a bunch of money on shit they don't need that will break in a week when they coulda saved up their money a few weeks and got a more expensive but far better made version of the same thing.
To the tune of Marty Robbins Big Iron "There was 20 feet between them when Gary turned to make his play, And the swiftness of Plauche is still talked about today, Doucet had not cleared customs when a bullet fairly ripped, And Gary's aim was deadly with the Big Iron on his hip"
"How did it penetrate?" *takes sip of a drink* "Like Jeff" *almost spists all over the keyboard* That man need some warning singns before such jokes xD
As a person who has gone through something very similar when I was a child, dark humor is one of the many things that helped me deal with what happened to me.
This show just keeps getting better and better. I'm so glad that my wife helped me break through my tism and learn to appreciate dark humor and sarcasm. Being a literalist is one of the biggest struggles I've faced throughout my life. Thankfully the ones that know and love me have helped me break free from those bonds to enjoy content such as this. Well, most of the time. Sometimes, the literal meaning of something is way funnier than what was implied. You all are amazing, thank you!
Holy shit! Jody lived 30 minutes away from me. He is an absolute LEGEND! When I saw Why Gary Why in the thumbnail, I got excited because I knew who was going to be on. As for the "content warning", we all knew what we signed up for.
Gary is an absolute hero. An everyman who did what everyman should. And this dude took a horrific experience and used it to help others. There’s nothing more honourable
I have so much respect for Jody for having the courage to be on the show, put his face out there, and talk about everything. He's doing a great service for anyone who's dealt with that in the past. Possibly you guys' most important show yet. Edit: Holy shit he's awesome 🤣
He has been doing this for many years, talking about his experiences and educating people on the early signs of such behaviour. He definitely is stunning and brave, unironically.
As someone who’s been through something like this, thank you. I genuinely needed this. Seriously thank you for sharing this story and donating to the different charities.
As a fellow Louisiana native, it means so much to me and everyone else to support the legacy of this hero. And it’s so funny to hear everyone try to pronounce Plauche 😂
I was 11 years old when this happened, I was living in Lafayette, and was watching this live on TV with my dad. It is core memory for me. this is one of the greatest pod that Unsubscribe has ever done in my opinion. You know it's a great one, when all 3 host are just looking at each other with nothing to say after Jody makes one of his jokes. Thank you for this podcast, and thank you to Jody for coming on and telling his story. I commend Jody for his life's work with dealing with child S/A and for explaining what Groomed Children go through. Thank You gentlemen.
This video is, by far, one of the best I’ve seen. I’m a combat veteran who also endured that kind of abuse as a child. My sense of humor is very dark, and I often have to harness it to avoid further discussion. I also worked in child services and dealt with several cases like that. It was very difficult to take that kind of work home. Anyone who has worked in child services knows how taxing that line of work can be, even more when you’ve experienced it for yourself. Statistically, people don’t come forward with that kind of abuse until the age of fifty-two. I didn’t tell my parents until I was thirty-three. Props to Jody for speaking about it and to the rest of the panel for making it possible. The awareness level needs to raise by leaps and bounds to address these issues. Thank you for speaking out and giving it a louder voice.
I too have Vietnam flashbacks when I see soft soap but for a whole different hole… when I was 8 I heard about the word c*nt and didn’t believe it was real.. I said that in front of my grandma the next week and she washed my mouth out with 2 bottles of soft soap. I grind my teeth everytime I wash my hands with it to this day🤣
I was born and raised in and around Baton Rouge. Gary was a local legend!! Becoming a father only made me understand and respect him more. Jody is amazing on this pod! Hearing him reference KillTony was top notch!!!

Dark humor is bullying your trauma. Never be ashamed of it.
This is the most simplistic way to put it
I may start quoting this
That’s the best way I’ve ever heard it explained. No one can traumatize me if I laugh at my own traumatic experiences.

This is EXACTLY what I hoped the son of Gary Plauche would be like...
A friggin' legend!!!
Right?
I was initially worried for like, a few seconds, he was gonna be saddled with a lifetime of terrible knock on affects mentally, of the whole ordeal.
If anything, Jodi has taken the terrible darkness that has happened, made it his own bitch and bent the universe to his will.
Fuckin, Americana, (without the pedophilia, clearly) A dad kills his sons abuser, son grows to be a fuckin G and help others fight the same dark spectres.
Be a dude, don't be a dick, fuckin shred pedos, that Gary Plauche headshot was fuckin LEET.
Real life, 360 no scope...
Gah damn, glorious.
Why would you want to own a gun?
Cuz some fuckers are fuckin touching the kids, and I ain't gonna be super stoked knifing the shithead but guns are much better
Fuckin, from this random dude on the internet, fuckin super proud of you, Jodi, ya fuckin legend.
The fact that the son of Gary and his family thought so highly of you all honestly shows how good of people you all are. Great fuckin podcast and conmunity
“That joke sucked…. Brown belt!!!” Almost peed!
Proper counseling gave this man a healthy outlook on life!
Shitty counseling can make it worse, but proper counseling and some gallows humor can help a lot.
You guys are life savers. I’m on-call and I needed something to block out everything at work because my dumbass got called in.
Ain't nothing dude you got this champ.
I literally just saw this and said “thank fucking god out” loud
Keep strong brother i know the feeling 😂
Think of the money big dawg 🤟🏻enjoy your day, stay safe

"oh wait, there's an aftershow?"

☕🐝🇺🇸
This whole time i expected for Gary to be this distant, quiet, mildly estranged boomer dad whose high point in fatherhood/life was killing the man who took "freestyle" karate to a new level. In reality he was the best father possible and that warms my unsub jaded heart.
So I'm the father of a victim and I now have sole custody and am a single full time dad. My daughter was abused by Cameron Carden if anyone would like to look up the case, but with all of that said. I look up to this man's father, because when my daughter was abused, the night I found out, I sat outside the abusers house and contemplated giving the man justice myself. My grandfather knew what was happening because he's the person my daughter told about the abuse, and he called me and told me that he wasn't trying to stop me, but if I continued with my plan, he couldn't raise my daughter and that would cause her to be put in states custody. That was able to stop me, and I'm grateful, but there are times I think about it and my blood boils. When I see the video of Gary doing what he did it vicariously helps me feel a little bit better about allowing the man that hurt my daughter to continue breathing. I want to thank Gary for that! It's not much but that's all I can do!
A good man is stands up for himself, a great man stands up for others. You stood up for your daughter in your own way, by making sure she was raised in a loving and safe place.
Damn, that's one of life's nastiest catch-22s. However, I think you made the right choice. And it's not like you can't seek justice later, y'know. ;D
Gramps could've taken care of this one
I'm being kinda jokey, this situation sucks. I just always think of an unorthodox solution in situations where people only see two possible outcomes.
You're there for your daughter and that matters the most.
@@advert1489 when my job is done, she's grown, and I'm old! Yes!
You did the right thing. She needs her father more than her father needs vengeance.
"How did it penetrate?"
"Like Jeff!"
That's exactly the response I would've hoped for
His eyes lit up so fast after he recognised the opportunity
@@thepeele4172 Bro saw a golden opportunity, and let the intrusive thoughts win 😂
I grew up in Baton Rouge. I am old enough to remember where the pay phones were that this happened. Gary was a LEGEND. As teenagers me and my friends would regularly tell others the story of the pinnacle of a father's vengeance on the person caused his family pain. RIP Gary Plauche.
"Revenge Will not fix the damage"
I don't know he seems pretty sane to me.
Revenge is sometimes necesary
Honestly I think a big part of trauma for a lot of people is knowing they were helpless.
I think what his dad did actually did have a big impact on making what happened less traumatic.
I feel like it’s a lot easier to not build up the perpetrator as some nightmarish monster in your head that victimized you when you’ve seen them sprawled out with a bullet in their head.
5 minutes in and he hits us with a hawk tuah joke💀
I like it when Cody actually talks and didn't just sit in silence lol
Cody it’s okay we like to hear you talk too, you don’t have to make a soc account
Lies and slander. Ive never heard Cody talk
@@notadoc7969 lol
When he talks he usualy has a point, i kinda respect that
I feel like since he was a cop he saw a few karate instructors in his time
"More community services" is such great way to phrase it.
My father was a juvenile investigator in our county. It was very traumatizing for him as he loved kids. Seeing the nasty lows people stooped to with kids affected him greatly. The sheriff finally had to transfer him to a different job. My hat's tipped to all who carry the torch to investigate these crimes.
Mad respect for the first trigger warning ever to be about pedophilia. A trigger warning for truly horrific content; not for insults and offensive words.
Trigger warnings shouldn't exist period, not how they did it at least. A simple "Hey guys today we are talking about pedos. If you don't like it click away now" would have sufficed
@@TheLongDon its called being a decent thoughtful person then still have fun with no chains. Prettt easy to do
@@marcdeluna8674Well the thing he suggested also works as a content warning so I guess it’s all the stuff surrounding it than the trigger warning itself
@@TheLongDon That's exactly what they did, though
@@TheLongDon "Trigger warning"
"Content warning"
Same thing.
Why are you so triggered by the word triggered? Kinda ironic bud
I broke down crying when Jody gave you guys his Dad's hunting license. Jody you are one good dude, and I'm so glad you're there for all those kids who need you.
I was crying with laughter just imagining the man getting his 1984 hunting license. "This year I'm gonna hunt more than deer, motherfuckers."
I'm a teacher at a facility that helps restore victims of human trafficking. Many times when I hear my students' stories I think of Gary and how I wish there were more men like him.
How many foster run aways do you know have been victims?
@@jongriggs85 I'm not sure if you're looking for an exact number. I can't give you one because I don't know (I've been doing this for 19 years and never thought to keep count of that statistic). However I'm sure the data is out there somewhere. What I can tell you is that it does happen. Interestingly, most of the HT victims that run away from foster care are running back to their handler, not their family (unless they are the same). It also happens that some foster families victimize the youth in their care. Let's be honest and recognize that humans can be despicable.
There are many success stories too, which makes it difficult to overhaul the system. You don't want to destroy someone's chance at growth because someone else suffered.
The number one predictor of recidivism is educational success. When a child is on the right track with their schooling and feels hopeful about their future, they are far less likely to return to an unhealthy lifestyle. Now, if only fixing the education system was easy, we could help every child.
The f.....g balls that man has to share so much in the name of being a role model for victims is inspiring. It's one thing to move on and live your life but to expose yourself to reliving it with his candidness is just bad ass.
As a "survivor," less than a minute in; thank you in advance. Gallows humor has been one the only things that got me through life. Ex: when my kid was found to have eye cancer, my immediate reaction was "Guess that Halloween with me easy as hell, just dress him like a pirate..."
Thank you all for all your efforts, here and elsewhere.
Humor is an amazing coping mechanism / tool.
Another commenter said that gallows humor is bullying your trauma.
as a survivor myself, I have to say I agree.
nailed it
My best friend, a man I consider my younger brother. He lost his mom at age 18, she was cremated. 2 years ago was the 10 year anniversary of her passing and he wasn't having a good time of it. So he sked me "bro, roast me." So I wrote down the address to the crematorium that handled his mother and told him "They give the best roasts, just ask your mom." He laughed so hard he about passed out. When he was finally able to breathe again, he said "This is why we're friends."
@@Deadsnake989😂 you are a good friend.
Wow...watching Eli and Jody laughing their heads off while Brandon smiles awkwardly and Cody's trying very hard to teleport to anywhere else was simply magnificent. Great episode with a great guest, I'll always be happy watch content honoring the 1984 Father of the Year.
All this from a video about an incredible father, to now having his son on the podcast. Gotta love it
Honestly, Jody is an amazing guest. I would love to see him on again, not even just to promote his book, he's a genuinely cool and funny guy.
1:30:53 the realization on Jody's face that he saw an opportunity to Crack another joke sent me before he could even get it out 😂😂😂
you could just see the gleam in his eyes that he was about to make everyone at that table morbidly uncomfortable and laugh at the same time. the fuckin comedic evil genius of that joke is legendary
The look on his face before. Then the evil smile lookin around afterwards 😂
Just the quick frame of Brandon realizing and thinking "oh Jesus Christ..."
In a perfect world, all dads could take "care" of all predators. Sending love from Boise, Idaho
No, in a perfect world there would be no predators to be taken care of.
@shawnlylebond8873 so very true.
if you do it right I don't think anyone is serving alot of time for that
If they make a movie about Jody's life, it needs to be called, "The Karate Kid: Based Upon a True Story"
That movie came out in the Summer of 1984...a few months after the shooting. I'm leaning to the title" "The Karate Kid: Whacked On...Jacked Off" Don't even ask about "Karate Kid 2"
God Damn 😂😂😂
Oh HELL no 😂
Fucccccckkkkkkk
😳
I’m here to say my grandma does “sound like that”😂😂😂 (I’m Jody’s Niece - Mason)😄
Love u Jody. Thanks to UnSubscribe Podcast for having him on!
Give Jody our regards! We were so happy to have him on the podcast!
I literally just read your comment AS it happened in the video 😂❤
I've been hearing about Gary Plauche since I was a kid in the 90s. I'm glad we finally got to hear Jodys story from his own mouth. Much respect for how you handle your trauma and channel it to help others, you're just as much a hero as your old man if not more so.
Wow, I can't believe Medal of Honor Receipient Brandon Herrera took the time to help this man get the story of the Father of Year out!
His continued service to the nation deserves a salute! Medal of Honor Recipient Brandon Herrera truly is someone who received the Medal of Honor.
Three time recipient of the Medal of Honor Brandon Herrera is so humble to help raise awareness to these stories
I’ll be honest when this hit my inbox my first thought was “ I hope the guys don’t make Jody uncomfortable and make the podcast super weird “ but 5 minutes in I realize it’s quite the opposite
Jody Plauche might be one of the funniest guests, just consistently hitting the team with flashbang after flashbang.
Never thought I'd see Donut nervous, but the look on his face after soft soap got me rolling!
Gary Plauche did what every father should do. If you disagree, you’re wrong
Definetly stops repeat offenders 😊 . The heros are also the ones that said NOT GUILTY.
@@nunyalastname-ej8vlyou need a thousand likes. The jury are all heroes as well.
Absolutely, with how lax our judicial system has become towards these troglodytes, that judge/“the state” did their job( knowing if there were no repercussions, vigilantes would’ve gone ham.. even though we all in here would’ve let Gary off). God Bless Gary
Typical emotional feel good thinking. The guy had other kids. Most of the time, this case results in Gary's kids growing up without a father. He just got lucky. That doesn't mean what he did was overall the best.
The fact that he kept the shirt is awesome. I bet every time he looks at it, he hears, "WHY GARY WHY?"
That was a great episode. A comedian friend of mine once told me.
“Make the audience uncomfortable and fuck with their heads.”
The strength that this man has and all the things he has over come.
My father passed away due to AO exposure and it was a slow painful death. Thank you for getting that veteran the help he needs.
“That joke sucked!” Me trying not to spit my cup of coffee out
Spit? Jeff don't seem like he woulda been a spitter, but Gary was. He spit lead.
It took me a second to get it when Jody said that 😂
Jody, the fact that you found a productive way to deal with a horrible experience should be an example for others. You're a better man than most.
"How did it penetrate?" I was laughing before the answer, because i KNEW what he was gonna say...
I still wonder if the episode direction in general had my subconscious egging him on. But also, I was genuinely interested in how strokg that blade spring is. Lol
I love this! Was a probation officer for SO’s in az…can’t tell you how many times those intrusive thoughts ….like would the world really miss this fool…come into PO’s heads…run to the youtube channel in the morning and this episode is prime!!!! God bless!
45:49 "That joke sucked."
Brandon's face as he processed that. 😂😂😂
If Donut's sister was a child crimes officer, you should do an episode with her and Jody.
Idk if she would be able to make a public appearance. If she works in that line of work they may want to keep her identity obscured
This is the type of father all children deserve.
And Marianne Bachmeier is the mother
Donut: “this episode is going hard” read the room!😂😂😂
a content warning on an unsub episode. Truly a historic moment.

Welcome to the club!
Found out at 25 cause of this show!
44 here. Just got my diagnosis a few months ago. This show is one of the top 2 reasons I got tested for it.
@@kevintemple245 I'm pretty sure at this point they just ask if you are a subscriber... and diagnosed
I'm probably somewhere on the spectrum as well. The only reason I know I'm not some kinda antisocial maniac is because it bothers me when people mistreat animals, children, the sick/infirm/disabled, and the elderly, which are your average sociopath or psychopath's most common victims. I also work retail and it's the most mentally draining job I've ever held. Carrying out fake conversations with people over inconsequential stuff, watching them walk around the store like NPCs looking at everything because their programming tells them to just bugs me, they walk around like crows, going "ooh shiny!'" and spend a bunch of money on shit they don't need that will break in a week when they coulda saved up their money a few weeks and got a more expensive but far better made version of the same thing.
goddamn, Gary sounded like he was even more of a gangster than he gets credit for. *lights fire* "If you wanna see Jeff, look down there!"
To the tune of Marty Robbins Big Iron
"There was 20 feet between them when Gary turned to make his play,
And the swiftness of Plauche is still talked about today,
Doucet had not cleared customs when a bullet fairly ripped,
And Gary's aim was deadly with the Big Iron on his hip"
Donut: We did not instruct him properly.
Me: Neither did that karate instructor 😂
And comment of the year goes too...

Gary is one of my heroes! I was lucky enough to meet him when he was in a nursing home near the end of his life.

As a person who has gone through something very similar when I was a child, dark humor is one of the many things that helped me deal with what happened to me.
Me: "Sweet, i love dark humor"
2 minutes later
Crying in horor in the corner
This show just keeps getting better and better. I'm so glad that my wife helped me break through my tism and learn to appreciate dark humor and sarcasm. Being a literalist is one of the biggest struggles I've faced throughout my life. Thankfully the ones that know and love me have helped me break free from those bonds to enjoy content such as this. Well, most of the time. Sometimes, the literal meaning of something is way funnier than what was implied. You all are amazing, thank you!
When you watch the big bang theory and try to make Sheldon your personality:
W wife.
Holy shit! Jody lived 30 minutes away from me. He is an absolute LEGEND! When I saw Why Gary Why in the thumbnail, I got excited because I knew who was going to be on. As for the "content warning", we all knew what we signed up for.
When you get a trigger warning at the start of a vid from UNSUB of all podcasts, you know its going to be a spicy meatball
The guest list just keeps getting more and more unhinged
That is crazy! I have heard Jody's story for years, and now I am finally hearing him talk!
Eli’s comment about the gi was crazy. Can you imagine? “You’ve seen Monica Lewinsky’s dress. Now meet: JODY’S GI!”
Gary is an absolute hero. An everyman who did what everyman should. And this dude took a horrific experience and used it to help others. There’s nothing more honourable
I have so much respect for Jody for having the courage to be on the show, put his face out there, and talk about everything. He's doing a great service for anyone who's dealt with that in the past. Possibly you guys' most important show yet.
Edit: Holy shit he's awesome 🤣
He has been doing this for many years, talking about his experiences and educating people on the early signs of such behaviour. He definitely is stunning and brave, unironically.
Fantastic episode. Even the disclaimer keeps the vibe. Jody's a great guest, a solid human, and I hope you guys have him back on in the future.
As someone who’s been through something like this, thank you. I genuinely needed this. Seriously thank you for sharing this story and donating to the different charities.
It wasnt your fault ❤

I was 11 years old when this happened, I was living in Lafayette, and was watching this live on TV with my dad. It is core memory for me. this is one of the greatest pod that Unsubscribe has ever done in my opinion. You know it's a great one, when all 3 host are just looking at each other with nothing to say after Jody makes one of his jokes. Thank you for this podcast, and thank you to Jody for coming on and telling his story. I commend Jody for his life's work with dealing with child S/A and for explaining what Groomed Children go through. Thank You gentlemen.
They were NOT joking about the content warning 🤣 I was dying throughout the show thank you guys for the much needed laughs
This video is, by far, one of the best I’ve seen. I’m a combat veteran who also endured that kind of abuse as a child. My sense of humor is very dark, and I often have to harness it to avoid further discussion. I also worked in child services and dealt with several cases like that. It was very difficult to take that kind of work home. Anyone who has worked in child services knows how taxing that line of work can be, even more when you’ve experienced it for yourself. Statistically, people don’t come forward with that kind of abuse until the age of fifty-two. I didn’t tell my parents until I was thirty-three. Props to Jody for speaking about it and to the rest of the panel for making it possible. The awareness level needs to raise by leaps and bounds to address these issues. Thank you for speaking out and giving it a louder voice.
"Why Gary? Why?" "Uhh Why not?"
As someone who was also abused as a child, I'm glad someone FINALLY gets my jokes.
