Speaker 1: It's nice eyes.
Speaker 2: I'm going Boston's news radio, so.
Speaker 3: I'm not the expert on suicide. I got to be
Speaker 3: honest with you. I have known people who committed suicide,
Speaker 3: oftentimes that people who you don't suspect of committing suicide.
Speaker 3: I don't want to identify the person, but I was
Speaker 3: stunned that young a teenager who I had coached in
Speaker 3: little league, who's the nicest kid, most well adjusted kid.
Speaker 3: I'm not going to identify him by name, reportedly committed suicide.
Speaker 3: He was about eighteen, and I remember, you know, watching
Speaker 3: the kid, always smiling, and whatever happened, you have no idea.
Speaker 3: I mean they some some leave a note, some don't.
Speaker 3: So I will be willing to continue to have a conversation. Here.
Speaker 3: A couple of callers are hanging on. I will get
Speaker 3: to them if you want. This is one of those
Speaker 3: not an easy subject, okay, but I chose to have
Speaker 3: my guest on last hour, and I'm just looking for
Speaker 3: people who may want to share stories because I think
Speaker 3: it's important for all of us to realize that there
Speaker 3: are people out there within our circle of friends who
Speaker 3: are crying out for help and even just a kind
Speaker 3: word or a phone call might get them through that
Speaker 3: moment of crisis. And again, I'm not a mental health professional,
Speaker 3: nor do I want to play one on the radio.
Speaker 3: But I do think that if we look around within
Speaker 3: our own community, we'll recognize that. So in the meantime,
Speaker 3: I have other topics I can go to. I'd like
Speaker 3: to give you a chance to talk about this. Let
Speaker 3: me start off with Frank in South Boston. Frank, welcome,
Speaker 3: thanks for calling in. You are next on Nightside, our
Speaker 3: first this hour at night Side.
Speaker 1: Frank, Hi, Dan, thank you for taking my call. Let
Speaker 1: me just preface this a little bit. I'm sixty six
Speaker 1: years old and I spent twenty one years in prison
Speaker 1: and was released in two thousand and one after the
Speaker 1: Supreme Judicial Court deemed I've been wrong for the convicted.
Speaker 3: About I know about some of those cases.
Speaker 1: So I know you do because I know the people
Speaker 1: that you helped get out. I knew all of them.
Speaker 3: I'm glad that. So you spent twenty one years in
Speaker 3: a state or a federal facility state.
Speaker 1: I was all in Massachusetts. I hit them all.
Speaker 3: Now in Massachusetts. Has Massachusetts will they be forced to
Speaker 3: compensate you? I know the compensation in Massachusetts.
Speaker 1: I did. I got limited yep, yep, I got some money.
Speaker 1: I got some money. I wasn't as much as like
Speaker 1: I had anticipated, but.
Speaker 3: Not much. Not kneeling you said, twenty one years.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I went in at twenty one and when
Speaker 1: at twenty one, came out at forty two.
Speaker 3: So like is her case is like this. So first
Speaker 3: of all, I want to say congratulations on surviving and
Speaker 3: having the backbone of the courage to to get through it.
Speaker 3: I hope you've had a good post prison life, and
Speaker 3: I want to hear what you have to say. But
Speaker 3: I just recommend you for having to survived that.
Speaker 1: Okay, thank you, you know, like, and it was no
Speaker 1: small feat. But you know, right after COVID, right after
Speaker 1: right after COVID hit on Saint Patti's Day in twenty twenty,
Speaker 1: I was diagnosed with stage three prostate cancer and I
Speaker 1: was treated at Boston Medical. I'm cancer free right now,
Speaker 1: thank goodness. But it was after forty four radiation treatments
Speaker 1: and like everything that can go wrong with radiation went
Speaker 1: wrong with me. And this had nothing to do, you know,
Speaker 1: forty four radiation treatments. I was at BMC like Monday
Speaker 1: through Friday every day at two fifty pm, taking my
Speaker 1: clothes off, getting it in a room, getting in a machine,
Speaker 1: you know, having my you know, getting my treatment, and leave.
Speaker 1: It only took ten minutes. Ten minutes a day, you know,
Speaker 1: like getting dressed and undressed are longer than the treatment.
Speaker 1: So this had nothing to do with holiday depression.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 1: I'd lost my mother in twenty nineteen, and it was
Speaker 1: like sitting on my mind. But honestly, I had nothing
Speaker 1: to do with holiday depression. But it was Christmas Eve
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two, and I was sitting in my I
Speaker 1: just like I was done. I was done. I was
Speaker 1: in so much pain. Everything that could have gone wrong
Speaker 1: with my treatment did go wrong. I had a Catholic
Speaker 1: for one hundred and eleven days, which was miserable, off
Speaker 1: on for one hundred and eleven days. And on Christmas
Speaker 1: Eve twenty twenty two, I went down to dry Dock
Speaker 1: and uh, I was just like I was done. I
Speaker 1: was done. I was ready to drive my truck off
Speaker 1: the end of dry Dock Ave here in South Boston.
Speaker 1: And again, I'm sixty six years old, and I'd never
Speaker 1: in my twenty one years in prison, I'd never had
Speaker 1: any suicidal thoughts until that night. I was just like
Speaker 1: I just like kind of assessed everything in the thing,
Speaker 1: the checklist that the twisted checklists that we go through.
Speaker 1: You know, if we're thinking that kind of stuff, I'm
Speaker 1: so bizarre. So what things I did do?
Speaker 3: From what saved you? What what prevented you.
Speaker 1: From I'm getting to that problem.
Speaker 3: No, rush, I want to hear the story. Go ahead.
Speaker 3: I didn't mean to interrupt.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, no no. I and I just
Speaker 1: don't like to interrupt you because I I you know,
Speaker 1: I smoke weed, and like weed helped me get through
Speaker 1: the cancer, all the crap that I was going through.
Speaker 1: It kept me off in narcotics. Marijuana, cannabis kept me
Speaker 1: off in narcotics. But anyway, I smoked a joint at
Speaker 1: the end of dry dock, and I'm like, I was
Speaker 1: just like building up the courage. I'm just going to
Speaker 1: drive this truck miles to four thousand. It's like it's
Speaker 1: basically a Ford Ranger. It's a fancy Ford Ranger, and
Speaker 1: I was going to drive it off the end of
Speaker 1: the dock. And I got done smoking a giant as
Speaker 1: much as I was going to smoke my grandson called me.
Speaker 1: He says, Pops, can you give me a ride home?
Speaker 1: That was it. That was the epiphany.
Speaker 3: And I was just like, you know, pose purpose.
Speaker 1: You know, my kid, he's like we you know, he
Speaker 1: was born on my birthday in nineteen eighty four, Like
Speaker 1: he just celebrated his thirtieth birthday. We both He celebrated
Speaker 1: his thirtieth. I celebrated my sixty six a big party.
Speaker 1: It was fun and and I'm just like, you know,
Speaker 1: I again, in my entire twenty one years in prison,
Speaker 1: I never ever ever felt suicidal, even though I was
Speaker 1: doing a life bid and I knew I was never
Speaker 1: getting out unless something happened. I knew I was never
Speaker 1: getting out. And the s JC ruled in my favorite
Speaker 1: tamed I've been wrongfully convicted. I got out and I
Speaker 1: just never looked back, you know, And I raised like
Speaker 1: three years after I got out, I got a custody
Speaker 1: of my six year old and my eight year old grandson,
Speaker 1: got one through Boston Latin Academy, got the other through
Speaker 1: high school. And you know, they're both doing well, and
Speaker 1: you know, but that that night, you know, it just
Speaker 1: I don't know where I went. I don't know where
Speaker 1: I went.
Speaker 3: It's kind of interesting, very interesting, Frank, that it just
Speaker 3: so happened that if you had decided you didn't want
Speaker 3: to smoke joint, and you just decided to weigh it
Speaker 3: and drive off the end of the pier, your grandson
Speaker 3: would have called, and I guess you would have heard
Speaker 3: it busy sag no or just wast wrong. He never
Speaker 3: would have heard it. So it's interesting. You wonder if
Speaker 3: there's someone up upstairs there looking up over, you know,
Speaker 3: looking out for it. And I'm serious when I ask
Speaker 3: you that I'm not being I'm not being faticious.
Speaker 1: Somebody had their foot on the brake, you know, somebody
Speaker 1: had their foot on the controls, you know, like they
Speaker 1: had the wheel, and I just wasn't going on.
Speaker 3: Had your mom just died before.
Speaker 1: That or No, she died in twenty nineteen, you know,
Speaker 1: but she died at ninety four years old, you know,
Speaker 1: like she got around my six.
Speaker 3: So she died in twenty nineteen. When were you thinking
Speaker 3: about doing this?
Speaker 1: What year twenty twenty two, twenty two?
Speaker 3: You know, I would like to think that your mom
Speaker 3: was your guardian angel that night.
Speaker 1: You know, my mom, like she worked for the Department
Speaker 1: of My story is crazy. My you know, my mom
Speaker 1: and my father both worked for the Department of Correction,
Speaker 1: and they'd work for the Department of Correction. My father
Speaker 1: was working at Walpole when I was my father was.
Speaker 1: I didn't know who my father was, and my father
Speaker 1: was working booking at Walpole. The day that I came in,
Speaker 1: my mother called my father and said, you know, Frank
Speaker 1: Peter was just convicted and he's on his way to Walpole.
Speaker 1: And I went to Walpole. I had no idea who
Speaker 1: this guy was, but whatever, you know, like yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I was like, you.
Speaker 3: Know, irony, something that is just an amazing element in
Speaker 3: our lives.
Speaker 1: And wow, Frank, I'm the DNA DNA like DNA. I'm like, Mom,
Speaker 1: like I did you know? I did twenty three and
Speaker 1: me and it just shows that, like my father, the
Speaker 1: guy that you said was my father is not my father.
Speaker 1: This is my father. Like what's going on? She told me, like,
Speaker 1: you know, like eight months before she died, she told me,
Speaker 1: this is your father. And you've got a sister and
Speaker 1: you've got a brother. I'm like, oh, my god, you know,
Speaker 1: but yeah, I got a my brother. Thirty thirty one
Speaker 1: year retired Marine helicopter pilot, Lieutenant colonel. My sister was
Speaker 1: a nation nurse in the Army. She lives in Minnesota.
Speaker 1: My brother lives in Tennessee. So like, but yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: and all that I did, I did, I've met them both.
Speaker 1: It's like, it's crazy. My my brother is a freaking monster.
Speaker 1: He's like he's like six. I'm like five eight. My
Speaker 1: brother is like six ' four. You know. My sister's
Speaker 1: My sister's a tall gal too. You know, I'm she's
Speaker 1: she's about my height, but a little bit maybe tall
Speaker 1: or whatever. We both you know, we all shrunk. But
Speaker 1: thank you for taking my call. Dan. I just like,
Speaker 1: unless you, you know, you want to ask me something
Speaker 1: that's well.
Speaker 3: No, I think the call stands on its own. It's
Speaker 3: it's an amazing story. Has has Did they do any
Speaker 3: stories about you? When you when.
Speaker 1: You so like, uh, what's your name? Kristen Party from
Speaker 1: the Phoenix, she did a story on me. Uh, Jesus
Speaker 1: a couple of Boston Phoenix. There was a Boston Phoenix.
Speaker 1: Uh No, the Globe and the Heraldic Let me ask.
Speaker 3: You us what did you get convicted for? What? What?
Speaker 3: What did you take?
Speaker 1: The second second, second, degree murder, right.
Speaker 3: Okay, second agree murder. Uh that's a that's a heavy hit.
Speaker 3: Where were you when the murder went down? Okay? So
Speaker 3: you well you were you present or were you not
Speaker 3: even there?
Speaker 1: Oh? I was there. I was there, but I walked
Speaker 1: in after it happened, and I'm like, you know, I
Speaker 1: was just like, okay, you know, I showed up, and
Speaker 1: but my DNA was not all over the place and
Speaker 1: that technology didn't come out until later.
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, so so wrong wrong place, wrong time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, my apartment, my own, my own apartment, Okay, drug deal, No,
Speaker 1: But I was like, you know, I wasn't. I wasn't
Speaker 1: a terribly nice guy. You know, I've I've got a record,
Speaker 1: you know, I did. I did some stuff, but you
Speaker 1: know I didn't do that.
Speaker 3: So the person, the person who killed, who killed the victim?
Speaker 3: Did he ever go to trial?
Speaker 1: Uh? He did. There were two people there was a
Speaker 1: guy and a woman. They both went. She ended up
Speaker 1: doing eight years and framing him, and he did like
Speaker 1: three years. He ended up in an offock pre release said.
Speaker 3: Were you all tried? Was this some sort of a
Speaker 3: joint venture? Were you you got?
Speaker 1: No? No, no, no, no, no, We were we weren't
Speaker 1: co defendants were all tried separately.
Speaker 3: No, I understand that, That's what I'm saying. So so
Speaker 3: probably your your trials are severed. So yeah, you took
Speaker 3: the big fall for murder too. How did they hit you?
Speaker 3: How did they connect you? How if you truly.
Speaker 1: Had you know, I was married, I was. I honestly
Speaker 1: believe there was an animus. I was married to a
Speaker 1: cops daughter, a local, a very very very well respected
Speaker 1: cops daughter. And at the time I never laid a
Speaker 1: hand on her. I never laid a hand And I
Speaker 1: got two kids too. I got two kids that you know,
Speaker 1: that were born back then. But you know, I just
Speaker 1: stated they hated me. The cops hated me. You know,
Speaker 1: I stole a Kyle when I was fifteen.
Speaker 3: I did so basically, you got framed, you, you was.
Speaker 3: Everybody was charged and you took the big fall.
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah? When the when? The when? When
Speaker 1: the when? The female like she took the she took
Speaker 1: the hit that should have been taken, you know, and
Speaker 1: like she should have had the main charge.

Speaker 1: Uh and oh I know, yeah, I know you you
Speaker 1: promoted him like Freddie, like Freddy. We've we've spoken about you,
Speaker 1: you know.
Speaker 3: The the big thing that I was involved in was
Speaker 3: the FBIK Silvati p ammonium.
Speaker 1: Yep, Frank, yeah, let me let me just let me
Speaker 1: just the quick thing about about Louis Greco. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: I love Louie Greco. I got out, I got out
Speaker 1: of I was released into Shirley Minimum in nineteen ninety
Speaker 1: and I didn't take I'd evigate to a minimum because
Speaker 1: Willie Horton screwed that up, Bob Lilli Horton and Bobby Stewart.
Speaker 1: Bobby Stewart messed it up for life, as for second
Speaker 1: of your life, as he messed it up for everybody
Speaker 1: when he escaped. But Louis Greco and I, like, I
Speaker 1: first got the Shirley Minimum and I was like living
Speaker 1: in Cottage eight. Louis lived in Cottage ten. And I say,
Speaker 1: am like, somebody said, that's Louis Greco, and like I've
Speaker 1: heard about this because I worked in the infirmary in
Speaker 1: Norfolk in nineteen nineteen eighty one. I took care of
Speaker 1: Henry Timelio. So I knew, I knew all of those guys,
Speaker 1: you know, but I never met Louis. And then so
Speaker 1: I saw I saw Louis and like, hey kid, hey kid,
Speaker 1: will you go to the canteen and get me a
Speaker 1: pint of Ben and Jerry's chocolate chip? Thank you? So
Speaker 1: Louie was Louis was great and.
Speaker 2: He died before he get out.
Speaker 3: Man, you know like, oh, I know, no, he has
Speaker 3: a state want some money. He got about he got
Speaker 3: about eighteen and I think Tom Mellie, we've got fifteen
Speaker 3: and Lamoney uh and Svati Bolt survived, came out. Joe
Speaker 3: is still alive today. Hey, I hate to do this
Speaker 3: to you, Frank. All right, all right, thank you call
Speaker 3: do me your favorite. Rob will leave you my give
Speaker 3: you my my my personal number, give me a call sometime.
Speaker 3: I'd love to talk to you off air. But it's you.
Speaker 3: A great caller, a great caller.
Speaker 1: Thank you.
Speaker 3: Okay, don't hang up. Rob will give you my direct line.
Speaker 3: Rob will take a quick break. We got to get
Speaker 3: to the newscast. Let's take a quick break. Okay.
Speaker 2: Now back to Dan Ray live from the Window World,
Speaker 2: Nice Side Studios on WBZ News Radio.
Speaker 3: Well, that call went pretty long with but I think
Speaker 3: it was well worth it. Let me go to Daryl
Speaker 3: up in New Brunswick, Canada. Darryl's a that's a tough
Speaker 3: call to follow. How are you, Darryl?
Speaker 2: Hey, Dan, I can listen to Frank. You can keep
Speaker 2: me on hold and I'll wait till the next call.
Speaker 3: Right, no, no, no, you go right ahead, You're you're on,
Speaker 3: go ahead.
Speaker 2: My situation was with my twin brother, just to put
Speaker 2: the forefront out there, he shot himself out on the
Speaker 2: farm and it was a Saturday morning and I had
Speaker 2: actually driven out to the farm out in Alberta, just
Speaker 2: outside Abington, and I would just dropping by to see
Speaker 2: how he was because he just got to town and
Speaker 2: he was sleeping on the couch. So I said, wow,
Speaker 2: I'll tee up with him later, right, And back in
Speaker 2: those days, we had the old cassette tapes for the
Speaker 2: answering machines. So I swung by my apartment because I
Speaker 2: had to go work on a Saturday morning to make
Speaker 2: up some hours, and I put the casette just as
Speaker 2: I was tolling in to work and said I always
Speaker 2: love you, dude, and the gab was gone. So what
Speaker 2: I'm saying is to let people know that, you know,
Speaker 2: the indicators might not be there. Yeah, but this topic is,
Speaker 2: this topic is so important because his letter to me
Speaker 2: was he respected me so much, super being in the military,
Speaker 2: all that stuff, right, So what I'm getting at is,
Speaker 2: if people want to actually make a difference, you know,
Speaker 2: the indicators might not be there, but just pay attention
Speaker 2: because back then it wasn't the we're talking back in
Speaker 2: eighty six, right, so we didn't have all the cracket
Speaker 2: and stuff and all the addictions.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 2: The big thing back then was just a place to stay.
Speaker 2: And if I would have known that, he could have
Speaker 2: stayed at my apartment. Right, it was just a bachelor.
Speaker 2: We could have thrown a bedroom, bed in the closet
Speaker 2: and the walk in closet done. But the kicker was
Speaker 2: the kicker was going back to Frank. I believe his
Speaker 2: grandson or his son was born on his birthday. My
Speaker 2: son was born there. I buried my brother, and I.
Speaker 3: Had no clue.
Speaker 2: I had no clue that my son was even on
Speaker 2: the way. So what you can't do is you can't
Speaker 2: blame other people for things that might have happened. And
Speaker 2: like I said, it's you carry great topics and if
Speaker 2: this helps other people, even in the military, because you
Speaker 2: reach out to a lot of military people. I've done
Speaker 2: suicide wise quite a bit in the military, and they
Speaker 2: didn't even know I was doing suicide wise as I
Speaker 2: talked to my chief and say, hey, you know you're
Speaker 2: doing daily inspections if you're recalling the military in the
Speaker 2: morning and you got guys going saying, hey, your humor
Speaker 2: sucks this early in the morning. Okay, but they forget
Speaker 2: all about what they were thinking.
Speaker 3: Yeah. So, but.
Speaker 2: No, you keep you keep great topics going.
Speaker 3: And I'm so sorry about your brother. How old when
Speaker 3: he when he passed.
Speaker 2: Three months from twenty wow?
Speaker 3: So but still a teenager? Wow wow?
Speaker 2: And but to kick their being there was no indicators?
Speaker 2: Yeah right. And what I'm saying is for all those
Speaker 2: people out there, you got family. But as long as
Speaker 2: there's no addictions, if the guy that needs or yall
Speaker 2: just needs places day, just getting them back on their feet,
Speaker 2: because economic times are harder today, right, And that's why
Speaker 2: people listen to your programs to hopefully assist other people,
Speaker 2: knowing that there's other things out there. As my brother
Speaker 2: would probably not have done what he did if he
Speaker 2: would have known he was going to be an uncle.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So again it goes back to you can't blame anybody
Speaker 2: for anything, right.
Speaker 1: It's.
Speaker 3: Your call, and Frank's call leave me speechless. So I
Speaker 3: just want to say thanks for calling and sharing this.
Speaker 2: No, but that's why at the end of the hour,
Speaker 2: I said I'll give it a call and see if
Speaker 2: adult still talking about it. Rob asked you, you said yes,
Speaker 2: and again goes back to Frank.
Speaker 3: Kudos as to both.
Speaker 2: Thanks you, Secular, you.
Speaker 3: Too, You too, my friend. Thanks much. I'm going to
Speaker 3: get one more in here before the break, Rob. I'm
Speaker 3: going to go a little longer here. Clara in Florida. Clara,
Speaker 3: don't want you have to wait through the news.
Speaker 1: Welcome back, Okay, Thank you.
Speaker 4: Dan. I have hit rock bottom where I've experienced hell,
Speaker 4: and I've I came very close to suicide about a
Speaker 4: year ago. I was going to cut myself with a
Speaker 4: box cutter. I already had a suicide note written in
Speaker 4: my mind, and my whole world came crashing down. It's
Speaker 4: it's a horrible situation to be in and a family
Speaker 4: member is a doctor and he just told me to
Speaker 4: snap out of it and I couldn't. And the only
Speaker 4: way that I was able to climb out of that
Speaker 4: hell was too down And think about my cats. What
Speaker 4: would happen to my cats if I were to kill myself?
Speaker 4: And it's a horrible thing. I suffer from PTSD and
Speaker 4: major depression and it's very difficult to talk about I've
Speaker 4: called the nine e eight number several times in the
Speaker 4: middle of the night and they've been helpful.
Speaker 3: That is the national suicide number, if I'm not mistaken correct, Yes,
Speaker 3: that from anywhere. So anybody who's listening tonight, if you
Speaker 3: need someone to talk to it, it's simply just dial night.
Speaker 4: Yes, they're very helpful and they're there, and I do
Speaker 4: speak to it therapist. I have phone appointments every two
Speaker 4: weeks and a psychiatrist. But let me tell you, Dan
Speaker 4: that that incident was hard. That I went through my
Speaker 4: hopeful world just came classing down.
Speaker 3: Yeah. No, I'm a little familiar with the conversations that
Speaker 3: we've had off air, Clara, so I know that you've
Speaker 3: gone through a rough what we would call a rough spot.
Speaker 3: It's more than a rough spot, but I'll just leave
Speaker 3: it at that as a rough spot. But hopefully you're
Speaker 3: coming out the other end, and a show like tonight
Speaker 3: shows you that there are other people who are You know,
Speaker 3: people feel so alone with suicide and they think they're
Speaker 3: the only one who's dealing with this overwhelming set of circumstances.
Speaker 3: But there's more help out dealing. People realize you found
Speaker 3: nine eight eight I'll bet you there's some people tonight
Speaker 3: who are going to call nine eight eight because you
Speaker 3: called my program. So yes, help, You've helped other people tonight,
Speaker 3: Clara by one not not succumbing to the so called
Speaker 3: easy way out. And I know it's not an easy
Speaker 3: way out, but you know you you have stood strong
Speaker 3: and you have offered a suggestion tonight there may be
Speaker 3: someone somewhere in America who's going to dial nine eighty
Speaker 3: eight because Clara called night Side tonight.
Speaker 4: I thank you for that, and I highly recommend it.
Speaker 4: And they they are very sympathetic. They listen to you,
Speaker 4: they'll stay on the phone with you as long as
Speaker 4: you need to. So it's it's it's been very it's
Speaker 4: a very useful tool, and it's free.
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, Well that's that is a great recommendation.
Speaker 3: And Clara, again, I took you before the newscast here
Speaker 3: and I'm glad I did.
Speaker 2: I appreciate it.
Speaker 3: Thank you well, Thank you, Clara, and you hang in there. Okay,
Speaker 3: It's okay.
Speaker 4: Dan.
Speaker 3: You know they say sometimes it's darkest before the dawn,
Speaker 3: but I think you've got through the worst, so just
Speaker 3: keep on being strong on Okay.
Speaker 4: Okay, thank you, damn, thank you, Clara.
Speaker 2: Good night.
Speaker 3: I'd love you.
Speaker 2: You know that.
Speaker 3: Okay, thanks, good night, Okay, we got a newscast. If
Speaker 3: you want to talk about suicide, I don't know how
Speaker 3: you can beat those three calls Frank, Daryl and Clara.
