Murdering Malachi Preview

We had a guest that came into us and we were going to do just like a regular studio interview , but the more we , the more I spoke with him , the more I realized how many layers there really was to this onion , so to speak , and a single studio interview would not have done it justice .

This guest we'll call him E is has probably one of the most fascinating and diverse stories that I've ever heard and just in general , he's kind of a fascinating dichotomy of a person and I know my listeners are going to really enjoy hearing his story , hearing him speak . I've enjoyed it so far and we've been working on that .

So we haven't been doing our traditional studio interviews as much . So you know , bear with us , hang in there . We're going to play a little trailer or snippet of one of the conversations or one of the readings he did for me recently , right after this .

Also , we just got some new audio equipment that gives us the ability to do really high quality interviews over the phone , so we're able to do nationwide , worldwide interviews and hopefully that way cast a little bit of a larger net as far as a guest list and be able to really get some fascinating people with some great insights and some great stories .

If you or anyone you know has a great story or maybe some particular industry insight , such as a doctor or a lawyer or something like that , have them email , or you can email teamattheredactedpodcastcom and get in touch with us . Let us know what you got going on .

But other than that , enjoy this trailer and we are really excited to bring this show to you once it kind of finishes . So thanks for tuning in .

Yes , I still donate time and labor to animal rescues or , in some cases , other people would need . Yes , I am still a shoulder to cry on and safe place to share your own dark pain . My shoulders are broad . Yes , I am still the very man you want , walking down the same side of the street If your grandmother or young daughter is walking home alone at night .

I have kept more than one stranger safe . I am still the guy who tries to treat people with decency and compassion . But I am not the good guy . I am the broken guy full of vice , trauma and darkness , who still tries to do good things . Jesus , grace and mercy . Just because I'm broken doesn't mean I have to be bad .

One day I was sitting in the subway getting high , sitting on the bottom step of an entrance that is somewhat secluded . I look up and I see a man attack a terrified 20-something girl trying to mug her . I see her crying and screaming , trying to fight him off .

I dropped my drugs , ran to the other side of the entrance , where they were , and I folded his ass . She ran screaming up steps . A few short moments later , an army of cops came running down as the dust began to settle and he was let off in handcuffs . She began repeating loudly , pointing at me he saved me . He saved me .

Can he get some kind of a reward ? Can I nominate him please ? All the cops grew silent , looked at each other , looked at her , then looked at me , every single pair of their eyes seeming to say the same thing you are not the hero she deserves , you are just the one she got . We cannot celebrate you .

Their thank you was to not look for the drugs that they would have surely found and known were mine . Once all was done , everyone gone , I stood alone for a moment , staring at the stairway where it all just happened , thinking to myself . It would seem the wrong guy did the right thing .

Maybe more broken people can find some saving grace and hear lessen their own darkness by doing the same . Sometimes they are actually the strongest and bravest because they have to be God's grace and mercy . Say a prayer for me . I always need them .
