Episode 371: The Dog's Name Was Harvey (Pt 2 of the Summer of Sam)

Show Notes Episode 371: “The Dog’s Name Was Harvey” Pt 2 of the Summer of Sam This week Host Dave Bledsoe decides to spend a little time at the Dog Park, which is a very disreputable strip club in Bayonne New Jersey where hopefully they haven’t heard of him. (They didn't extend him credit.) On the show this week we wrap up the Summer of Sam with part two, the arrest, confession and trial of David Berkowitz. Then we get to the good stuff about the Devil! (Satan insists he would NEVER hang out with a loser like Berkowitz.) Along the way we learn why cops give people tickets when they would rather be watching porn. (Everybody has a boss!) Then we dive right into how the Summer Sam finally ended because one woman nagged the cops into actually doing their damn jobs! (That is usually how that happens.) We learn about David’s motivations for killing (girls didn’t like him) and how a dog named Harvey told him to kill. (Harvey insists he would never hang out with a loser like Berkowitz.) We take you through the bullshit stories that Berkowitz spun to get out of the death penalty that NO ONE BELIEVED. (Except for this one guy named Maury.) Then we take you down the dark path of conspiracy theory that Maury Terry took and leave you just as disappointed as Maury was in the end. Our Sponsor this week is David’s Doggie Day Care, where the dogs tell US what to do! We open the show with news footage from the day after Berkowitz’s capture and close with Matt Tregortha singing an Elliot Smith song about Sam.
