James, you made me hate mayonnaise. This is completely unrelated to this episode, I just wanted you all to know.
Love you guys glad to be back!!
Holy cow this is insane
It gets crazier! The "Olof" they're referring to as PM (who the captives didn't like) is Olof Palme, who was assassinated in 1986. The guy they said did it, Christer Pettersson, had murdered other people but successfully appealed and was legally innocent of murdering Olof. A different suspect was murdered in an unrelated incident in the US. And in 2020, they decided a man who had originally "witnessed" the murder had actually committed it. But he killed himself in 2000. So we'll never know. There's a documentary, The Man Who Played With Fire, about the investigation. It's known as "Sweden's JFK assassination"
This Stockholm syndrome thing is just crazy. I did not know how they got that name but after listening to this episode, I am watching a show on Netflix called Clark and it is about the guy that this is about it is six episodes and it is actually pretty funny. I highly recommend it if you want a really good laugh is the truth and lies of his story.
Huh, you sold me on it, I'll check it out!
3 million Swedish Kronors in 1973 was about $675,000.
It’s similar to betrayal blindness identified by J. Freyd
This episode was soooo interesting!!! So great 🖤
Did not know about this original story.this was very interesting.
Awesome...again!
The Netflix show "Clark" is excellent. Skarsgard does a perfect job
Approving the Swedish pronouncement 🤩👍 both in this episode and the Nordic festival one.
You guys should do a bonus on Paul Bernardo and Karla Hamoalka, she had “Stockholm syndrome” but she was just as evil as him
Damn straight, she enabled him to kill many more women than he could've, otherwise. She fully participated, even in her own little sister's rape and murder... Foul heinous bitch! Whenever a podcast covers those two, I skip the episode. Mostly because so many have featured their story; one so disheartening and tragic, I don't want to hear about it all over again. Still, if anyone is capable of uncovering lesser-known details and engaging my interest, I reckon it's James Pietra motherfuckin' gallo.
Greattt.. now I can't get Tracy Chapman's "Fast Car" out of my head..
That was amazing! 🤩
The Last Podcast guys did an AMAZING series on Patty Hearst!
Which episode is it? Couldn’t find it.
This was awesome - we always stay at the Nobis and was told that was where the Stockholm syndrome originated but never knew exactly what happened- now off to watch the Netflix
Jimmie, to those that risk everything is worth 1 in the hand 2 in the bush, red sky at night for the early bird, patience is a dime a dozen when you measure twice and cut once.
As a pool guy, please don’t kidnap your pool guy 😂😂
😂😂😂😂
W bcd c
Mmmmm
I just watched Dog Day Afternoon a week ago! If you haven't seen it... I highly suggest you do.
So basically….marriage?
Wooooooooooooooooo
Clark Netflix series. Explains it all.
I just watched the movie they mentioned, Stockholm. About a week or so ago. Ethan Hawk was one of the captors. At the beginning of the movie it says that the following is an absurd, but true story.
I’m afraid if my kidnapper was nice to me I wouldn’t think they were too bad
This Swedes have a lot of guns. A lot.
Yay, indeed, Jimmie!
Three Young Women and A Man Named Sven sounds like a folk band that's about to rock the fall festival.
Contrary to popular belief Billy The Kid never robbed any banks.
Michael Jordan is what finally made foreigners stop thinking of Al Capone and the St Valentine’s Day Massacre whenever they heard Chicago.
I mean, get your money, y'all. And it's pretty seamless/organic...but I don't think it's a coincidence that so many episodes have connections to netfix series lately. I was waiting this whole time for you to bring up the netflix serious and am surprised you didn't reference "Heist," too. Like I said, no hard feelings or whatever, just not clandestine enough to not mention
I mean this totally respectfully because you could be right, but I’ve been a Patron for several years, and listened to all of their bonus episodes from the beginning, and they really do whatever they want, especially in Patreon. They used to do entire episodes reviewing the tv show Love After Lockup, and they talk about popular documentaries all the time. I don’t see how being behind a paywall benefits them to focus on Netflix stuff at all.
I’m so glad I learned this story from you guys. No one else would tell it right.
Highly recommend the Last Podcast on the Left series about Patty Hearst. It's debatable if she had Stockholm syndrome or if they forced her to do everything under threat of death. It's pretty demonstrable that she fully believed the police would shoot her too if a gunfight happened and she was present. Frankly, the police's policy with these groups was always to shoot first so that they didn't have to ask any questions later so it wasn't an unreasonable thing to believe
thank you two so much, i listen to another creator on patreon and i get one episode every week. I really appreciate how much you guys give give give. Im a bit ocd and you are totally part of my daily routine and you always produce amazing stories. thank you
Humans are wild, we don’t make any sense and we make all the sense in the world
It sounds like Sweden already had Stockholm syndrome (w/influencer Clark)
I seriously wonder whether or not this could have gone on in the US. I feel like the Swedish more collectivist culture lends itself to this a little easier, while America’s more individualistic culture would make something like this harder? Or I could be insane. Especially when it comes down to testifying afterwards and the refusal to do so. I found my rabbit hole for the day.
I get that it happens to anyone but this is a larger group of people rather than a single person. Victims of abuse can be in it for years and it’s a 1 on 1 relationship. That’s probably a deeper bond to begin with than a group. Patty Hearst was a single person in the situation. Idk. Fascinating though.
This is by far the best $5 I spend on entertainment!
I didn't know I needed to hear poor James pronouncing Norrmalmstorg 😆 🇸🇪
Det var otroligt!!
The clip is from a documentary that Swedish public service made about Clark Olofsson. He returns to the scene of the crime and tries to interact with a guided tour about the event. But nobody recognizes him until the end 😆https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1CS9J15dQc/
Wow that was pretty interesting! Gonna have to watch sexy bill skarsgard now on that show
Best. Show. Ever!! I really, really want another show about this and let Patreon members do a casting call. ( can you imagine a younger Ben Afleck and Matt Damon as the leads?) Thanks. You made my night!!
5 🌟
Thanks Guys!
I accidentally listened to the first 30 mins of this on 1.5 speed and I thought the boys were drunk or having simultaneous strokes
I listen to them on 1.5 speed and when it sometimes reverts to normal speed I think they're drunk
I want Jimmy to know I’ve upgraded my membership specifically for his hatred of TSA. Love y’all
"something that could only happen in America" im dying 😭😭😭 sadly so true
This is my favorite. Thank you. Well done!
Omg- “to those who risk everything go the spoils” reminds me of the barkeep in Boondock Saints!
Clark Olofsson had a 6 episode miniseries on Netflix called Clark! I gotta see it now
It's hilarious!! 🤣
Indium you forgot..." A robin in the pocket is worth three in hand." Right?
Sweet
Yippee!
Can’t wait!
