| 0:00.0 | Hey, sir. Listen, there's a lot of you have been asking us to watch the new Jeffrey |
| 0:03.3 | Dahmer TV show on Netflix. So, Umberto and I watched the first three episodes. And so we're |
| 0:09.3 | going to talk about that. And we're also going to talk about Jeffrey Dahmer himself. We've |
| 0:14.6 | done other episodes on him in the past. We're going to talk about psychopathy and sadism. |
| 0:19.9 | Obviously, this episode carries a huge trigger warning. We're not going to go into graphic |
| 0:24.9 | detail, but we can't avoid some graphic details. So, let's get into it. What do you say, |
| 0:30.6 | Berto? Let's do it. This is the Psychology and Seattle podcast. I'm your host, Dr. Kirk Honda. |
| 0:35.2 | I'm a therapist and a professor. And my name is Umberto Kastanya, and I manufacture rulers without |
| 0:40.4 | markings. So, Jeffrey Dahmer, if you don't know who he is, just a brief synopsis. Born 1960, |
| 0:47.4 | died in 1994. He admitted to killing 17 people from 1978 to 1991. Mainly killing people from |
| 0:55.6 | 1990 to 1991. His killing progressively got worse over time, which is common to these sorts of crimes. |
| 1:02.6 | Most of his victims were gay men of color, young men of color. Often he would drug them and |
| 1:09.0 | then strangle them and then dismember them. And he ate some of them. He kept part of their |
| 1:14.4 | parts of their bodies and his apartments, including heads and fridges and stuff, to the point where |
| 1:20.0 | his crimes have become kind of a punchline to some extent when people are making jokes about |
| 1:25.2 | someone being crazy or a serial killer or something. They will talk about frozen heads in a freezer |
| 1:32.0 | at home. And from my memory, I mean, correct me if I'm wrong, Berto, I don't remember that being |
| 1:37.4 | a trope when I was a kid. I feel like Jeffrey Dahmer introduced that trope to our society. Do you |
| 1:43.2 | remember that? I mean, maybe it's because I was a kid, but I certainly certainly don't. And I |
| 1:47.9 | do remember the upswing after Dahmer. Right. To have people putting parts of bodies in refrigerators. |
| 1:56.6 | I think it's a pretty rare crime, pretty rare behavior. I mean, it's rare to kill people. It's |
| 2:02.4 | even rare to be a serial killer. It's even rare to do this type of serial killing. A friend of mine |
