'Never judge someone until you've walked a mile in his shoes. That way, when you do judge him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes.'

hahaha, Emo!
😅
This is but one of the strongest cases for the myth of free will. People think they have it, but they don't. Realizing people have no free will allows you to attempt to think about their lives that they did not control. It doesn't mean nobody can be held responsible for what they do (this is a popular slippery slope fallacy that is often used for those who think free will is a thing).
Fantastic quote,TY!
Lol😂
"The refund she should have been looking for is from whoever taught her decision-making skills." Sick burn, Dr. Grande!!! 🤣🔥👏
😂😂😂. I forgot about that one!
Not as sick a burn as the one about her "low disgust sensitivity" from working as an embalmer. "If she could handle corpses and not feel sick, then she could be around Ira, as he was only slightly more revolting than a corpse." Oh SNAP!
😂😂😂
Ira & Kelly were out of step with the law and both turned out to be heels. Ira went ahead and put his foot in his mouth. If only they had walked back their plan they would not have stepped into such a legal mess.
😂😂😂😂
Very punny
@@Unkn0wn1133😄 Good one!
They had a tough time toeing the line.
Dad, please come back home! :(
I'm always amazed to see successful people throw their lives away because of greed, lust, and anger. Either get a divorce and take the hit or stick it out.
think it's something to do with the continued success in their careers to date. How they always get want they wanted all along and will continue to get
They never will because that would damage their ego, and they think they're above any consequence
It really is amazing. Pure arrogance. Such a high level of stupidity even before trying to hire a hitman. He was a successful doctor and could have lived very well, provided that they had some control over their spending. He didn't have to resort to over billing. Now I'm sure he has lost everything. Ira and Kelly deserve each other.
wow
His wife wanted ''most of his assets'', Why? She was greedy, her greed almost got her killed. Let the court decide communal property. Don't want that risk? Don't get married.
Ira- Its not my fault!! She’s the one whose blackmailing me, I had no choice but to kill her.
Police- Blackmailing you how?
Ira- Well I was committing insurance fraud, and she threatened to tell on me. She’s a terrible person….
I'm sure the car salesman hired to carry out the hit had to ponder internally, "What exactly is it about me that makes me look like a hitman?" Kudos to him for remaining cool enough to not give away the game, and contact the police, instead. I probably would have blurted out, "Wtf?? ...NO." Which would have only allowed them to contact someone else, who might have actually followed through...and made it harder for the police to track.
The salesman is in a double-bind scenario. You’ve just painted a target on your back by saying no.
Yes!!
Exactly. 💯 Cool as a cucumber 😅
He had the 'look.'
Yo dawg lol i woulda straight up says to em yo dawg i aint no hit man but fire up dat glass pipe and give me a HIT MAN!!!!
Knw what im sayin playa ?!!!!!
Fuck yeah !!!!!💨💨💨💨💨💨💉
The real stupity was his sister thinking that they could get this right a second time.
I forgot about that part!!! What was she thinking???
Ira was an arch-villain! A heel! He could have toed the line, and stayed instep with the law, or just hoof it , but instead sought support for his callus tendencies. He thought he'd found a plan to plantar in the ground, but his footing was weak, and he didn't even get to the groundwork.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😭🇦🇺

yeay how funny this is by no means a serious topic.
When they were discussing their orthotics business partnership, I'm sure Ira felt overarching support.
oh you
😅
“…he was only slightly more revolting than a corpse” 😂 Dr G: you’ve done it again! 👏
Hilarious
Fortunately, I was able to cough up the piece of cheese I inhaled when Dr Grande said that. 😄

How is someone so reckless also so relentless?Susan needs to move countries at this point. He wont stop.
Plot twist Susan than hires a hit man to finally get the job done
@@regallylola5673😂
"If she could handle corpses & not feel sick, then she could be around Ira as he was only slightly more revolting than a corpse" 🤣
"Only slightly more revolting than a corpse" Dr Grande really knows how to turn a phrase!
I didn't think that was a good comparison. Corpses are normal.
He turns a phrase like the subject matter turns my stomach. I've always had a suspicion that women working certain jobs like embalming corpses or butchering meat (and I don't mean just slicing some salami) weren't wired the same way other women are.
@@ehrgeiz0 I could never...do any of that.
@@Wistful77 My point exactly.
These people only care about their own feelings and comfort rather than the lives they're destroying.
I mean they likely already agree with what you said, and that it's just and right
Yeah, it’s called Narcissism
Omg I heard about this case a few yrs ago BUT didn't know the guy was released and tried to get his wife killed again?!! 🤯 Insane
I’m always amazed how often two psychos find each other
Here I am!
You and me both.
Single Psychos Sip & Mingle
You know the old saying, "Birds of a Feather Flock Together."
Ira's poor parents. They were so proud that their son was a podiatrist and their daughter an attorney and now they are both criminals. If I was his ex-wife I think I would just change my identity.
When both of their children turn out that way it makes me wonder what kind of sense of entitlement did they raise their kids with.
Pride goes before a fall.
Well they clearly have issues and did something wrong raising them. One psychopathic child? Okay. but two?! 🚩🚩🚩
I love your way of thinking.
You are forgetting that they created these evil people
So the podiatrist moved from his big house to the big house.
“She had low disgust sensitivity…he was only slightly more revolting than a corpse.” This comment cracked me up!! Bravo! 👏🏻
"there's the sense that Ira was arrogant, grandiose, condescending, had a sense of entitlement, and --frankly--wasn't too bright."
That's why I always want a second opinion when dealing with someone with a Dr. title. Ambitious
yes. Intelligent maybe.
It's interesting that after everything she did for Ira, Kelly became not much more than a footnote to this story.
:0)
@@megalopolis2015 What
@@MrSomebodyStrange I don't have the foggiest idea how my comment on a completely different video ended up here. Interesting.
that's happened to me before. I was watching a different video and left a comment then watched another one. My comment ended up in the other video. UA-cam shenanigans@@megalopolis2015
That's often the casewith the 'other woman.'@@megalopolis2015
Dr. Grande has his foot in the door for the most puns in one video record.
This could conclusively serve as proof that slaps on the wrist just encourage further felony activities.
Duh.
I think we see that over and over on this channel....5 years? I'll try it again.
Thanks Dr. Grande, for another outstanding and interesting video. It's astonishing to me how people who have the means to live comfortable and happy lives, often are not satisfied until they destroy themselves.
Dr. Grande's rhymes and riddles that seem to flow easily off the tongue actually takes time to perfect. This is work. Make no mistake about it.
What a crazy case! It's like a bad Lifetime Movie that won't stop! 😮😮😮
A "bad" Lifetime movie: aren't they all? I've yet to see or hear of a good one! Lol😂
Ira is clearly not a fungi to be around, nor is he instep with the rest of civilized society. He is a lost sole.
I sea what you did there! 😂
I have considered, over the years, that cases such as this would occur less as technology grew stronger. I have been proven wrong in that hypothesis. People are still plotting these schemes and thinking that they'll get away with it. I'll never understand why it's even an option to kill another human being in an attempt to sever ties with them?
"Stupid" seems to be a totally enduring human characteristic!
@@bthomson Stupid and overly confident 🙄
They got off on the wrong foot
Allegedly the Yugoslav leader Tito once told Joseph Stalin to stop sending men to kill him, or he would send a man to do the same, and wouldn't have to send another. I didn't expect to see the same scenario play out in a podiatrist's marriage.
these dad puns have killed me with laughter
Dr. Grande's pun game is strong in this episode!!
Your puns are killing me. 😂
I think from the moment Susan found out about the affair, she had one foot out the door. She should have kicked him to the curb!
Why do people go through all this trouble
...leave ...it is easier
Your deadpan humor is so freaking hilarious! Despite the heinous crimes, I find myself laughing out loud.
Me too! 😅
"As he was only slightly more revolting than a corpse." - Dr. Grande 😆😆🤣
Never trust a woman who works in a funeral home. lol I say it facetiously but I see darkness in Kellie. Every photo of her screams she can't be trusted. Ira was caught in his own web of deceit which is poetic justice.🧚♀
Im really glad my daughter got me watching this channel. Lists the important parts of each case and throws in the perfect amount of random humor 😂and my wife and daughter collect alot of cactus as well
It appears to me that Dr. grande has become a bit compulsive with the cactus decor. It ain't zen no more. . .
Can you please do an update on the dentist charlie Adelson and his mom and daughter? They also got busted for hiring hitmen.
It’s a real sign of mental illness when your net worth is in the millions and you want to carry out a horrific crime like this
It's a sign of pride and ego.
Don’t blame this on mental illness. People can be mean. They knew right from wrong.
Not mental illness. Psychopathology. They are different.
Money, like alcohol, reveals a person's true nature.
Nope. Narcissism and psychopathy. And you don't need millions for that.
I remember watching this episode on dateline. I could not believe they received such a lenient sentence.
What a terrible bunch of people in this case! Thank goodness for the humor, Dr Grande! You rarely make a false step when you employ your comic relief!❤
I often fail to find the humor in these type situations. I do have a sense of humor but garnering a steady audience by ridiculing criminals with major major character flaws like hubris, that seems almost criminal in itself as it focuses people on schadenfreude and the enjoyment of what are really tragic situations of pain, of callous criminality, of evil. I think it is evidence, sometimes, of people wanting to just look down on fools,
like,. "Ha ha ha, we would never be implicable in any wrongdoing."
But consider the Stanley Milgram experiments and what happened at Abu Ghraib. . . And simply consider the very common tendency to project, which is more common than most people realize.
This is scary shit.
Always try to be slightly less revolting than a corpse.
$40,000.00 a month??? Unbelievable!!
Agree.
Craziness. She should be ashamed of herself.
But what about "trickle down?"
Don’t marry gold digger. Nobody can afford one😂
You actually managed to deliver the many foot and boot comments without cracking a smile!
Impressive!
This needs to be a movie
Starring Danny DeVito and Bette Midler..
I learned something new “low disgust sensitivity.”
You have a way with words, Doc😅
Good morning all! Best group of commenters in all of UA-cam! And our good Dr. is the reason! 🎉
“Only slightly more revolting than a corpse” 😂
You're a funny guy, Dr. Grande, and smart, too.
Thanks for the upload, Dr. Grande! Your true fans love your humour and sarcasm. November 19 is Ham and Cheese Sandwich Day, World Toilet Day (MY FAVORITE!), Make Someone Feel Uncomfortable Day, International Men's Day, Warlock Day, Rocky and Bullwinkle Day, National Macchiato Day, National Blow Bagpipes Day, National Carbonated Beverage with Caffeine Day, Play Monopoly Day again, and Have A Bad Day Day.
Rich people are notorious for having a God complex, causing them to believe they can get away with anything, even murder. This is a great example of how corrupt someone can become simply because they garner wealth. TY, Dr Grande, for another great drop ❤
Actually many CEOs are narcissists but most don’t commit murder.
@Codehead3 Perhaps not, but ignoring unsafe defects in their products because improving the product would reduce profit and not providing decent working conditions for workers for the sake of a little more profit (Amazon warehouse employees having to urinate in bottles due to lack of breaks, for example) is certainly on the wickedness continuum.
That was a massive overgeneralization. That's like saying that all "poor people" are all criminals and uneducated.
I became wealthy by living well below my means and having a niche skill, and I'm well aware that consequences are the same for me as for others, only I get to pay more taxes and am judged more when I only give 75% of my income to the charities I volunteer for.
@@Nylak-Otter There are always exceptions. Good for you for not allowing your success to override your moral acumen 👍
@@Codehead3 I read in book by Bill Eddy that around 15 per cent of CEO's have antisocial personality disorder, i.e., are psychopaths. Not good news.
Thanks for the continuous good content Dr. Grande! Hope you have a peaceful Thanksgiving!
lol, the low disgust threshold of Kelly sounds on pointe! I can’t help but wonder how people can think that being with someone who is happy to murder their partner will be a good bet for their future. They must think they are pretty special to never foreseeably be at risk themselves.
Dr. Grande, I love your Sarcasm!!
High sarcasm is a low empathy trait and an indirect indication of anger. . .
It's hard to decide if this case is a tragedy or a comedy. It seems anyone getting close to the doctor will go down with him. They will get the blame and shame and he will play the victim card . . .
Dear Dr Grande its extraordinary that the murder first followers are so fervent. Your excellent intellectal devoted analysis keeps me going especially when my life gets tough. Very appreciated especially the excellent learning I have amassed. The plea deals offers in this matter are a virtual criminal crime deal menu.
Omg I love a man who is a true crime enthusiast with a sense of humor😂
Your storytelling, no matter how dark the circumstance, is always hysterical! 😂😂😂
I don’t understand why attempted murder gets so much less prison than murder.
I have thought about this too. It’s like catching a murderer red handed is not as important as catching a murderer after murder took place.
@@morningdew224 Also, if it was only attempted they might try again, like in this case. So for the safety of the victim keep them locked up for awhile.
Exactly!! Attempting murder+ incompetence= less jail time why???
The only time I can remember that a person has paid the price for trying to hire a hitman was the case of Dahlia Dippolito. This happened in 2008. She went through 3 trials and was finally sent to prison about 5-6 yrs ago and I don't think she'll get out for another 10 yrs. She spent all that time waiting for what turned out to be a conviction, which must weighed on her. On house arrest, she had a kid that she won't be raising (thank God) What a long drawn out wreck. I'm glad her husband survived this ordeal and is doing well, from what I hear.
I agree! The intended victim isn’t dead, but not for lack of trying by the criminal!
Very scary the court gave them such a small sentence for trying to have someone killed. Hopefully this second time he will get a longer sentence.
Love the assessment of this loathsome couple.
You are so funny, Doc. Too many puns to count. Thank you for the laughs.
The therapist voice just sets it off for me. I love his sassy analysis but his very fact based delivery on the cases. 10/10. Thank you Dr. Grande 🤩
Concerned that none of the local hospitals had records of either insurance investigator being admitted, Ira new something was afoot.
$40K a month on clothes and stuff?!? Well hello Zsa Zsa Gabor, jeez!
I like all the foot metaphors 😂
I think it's obvious that this podiatrist loves prison issue boots.
Am I misunderstanding this or did she think $2,000 down for a $200,000 expenditure was realistic and not a deal designed to encourage her to move forward?
You are misunderstanding. The 2k down was for a 5k job (roughing up the insurance men).
thank you so much!@@eadweard.
"Low disgust sensibility"...!! You crack me up Dr Grande.
Susan does seem annoying, but Ira should have sought divorce way earlier. However he seems to be a criminal at heart, narcissistic and entitled.
Hi Dr Grande, from Southern California.
Excellent analysis. This analysis would make a great episode on ID'S American Monster.
As always I learn something new from your videos.
My one complaint about this video is its lack of foot puns...
they were there
@@goat9199whoosh
"Low disgust threshold "...lol 😂
I watched for the foot related comments and I am satisfied 😂😂😂
Young doctor! It's your biggest fan from Springfield Illinois great reaction and analysis thanks man
I totally love your puns and ironic sense of humor in all these episodes!!! ❤😅
This story really had legs.
And feet.
Dr Grande bringing the burn with the corpse snark lol.
Doc is shameless with those foot puns.
Shameless is the word
Greed and stupidity will ruin you every time. Is any woman going to want Ira now if they find out his story...I mean, other than another ex-con?
Even another ex-con surely doesn't want to be killed.
And yes, I know, Don't call you Shirley...
This one was sad but your quips were awesome, esp the results as expected on the marriage conversion. Great analysis again. Thanks Dr G😊💙💙

Just got a bug, like the flu, i just can't seem to shake. I know it could be worse, so not worrying about it. Haven't seen thar rascally 🐰 anywhere since that time I told you. But, I'm not looking for her. 🤣 She probably stopped going to the other channel I found her on, way back when. Afraid I'll 'talk' to her again. 🧟 lol.

I don't know the 'specifics' but I'm guessing mom doesn't mean to take things out on you. Still, it does make it more difficult caring for her.

I really hope you're having a good day. Mom too. Prayers and hugs to you both. 🙏🏻❤
having a spouse sign a post-nuptual agreement with an associated threat sounds like blackmail to me
Its amazing the lengths and depths of depravity one can go by simply believing their own hyperbole. Legends of one's own mind create victims of themselves, both figuratively and literally.
Yes, it is the delusion of hubris.
“Low disgust sensitivity” …. That’s pure genius.
I laughed a lot in this one.
There's always a Walmart.🥴
There are 2 things that are different from what I know about the original story: 1. I don't remember the 'open relationship' part between Ira and his wife; I just remember hearing a recording of his wife yelling at Ira on being on vacation with his mistress while pretending to be somewhere else 2. For those fake assault pictures, I remember the cops supposedly hired big time Hollywood artists (from some famous movie) and they were gloating over it on Dateline or 48 Hours.
We must always remember to put ourselves in other peoples shoes, to truly understand what is happening in this situation. 🌵 .
Your are too funny! Love the foot jokes!
Lol Your Saltine humour is great.
Ira has left the taxpayer to foot the bill for all his refusal to toe the line.
This is such a crazy story !! Susan should move to another continent lol. Sad! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family Dr Grande 🤍
Thanks Doc. My Sunday just became significantly better thanks to your entertaining and informative profiles and critiques. Ira is obviously criminally insane.
The amount of foot puns..Dr. Grande you are a storytelling genius .
What a crew! No one in the story, with the exception of the car salesman, appears to have any redeeming qualities. The podiatrist, although wealthy, is greedy to the point of committing insurance fraud. The girlfriend is attaching herself to a wealthy boyfriend. The wife, although well-educated, is unproductive and lazy and is as as greedy as her estranged husband as shown by her blackmailing him. I doubt that there was any real feeling Ira and Kelly. He kept her around because it allowed him to keep his wife at bay while having a main squeeze and she stayed around because of the financial goodies he provided to her. Kelly had her own sense of greed because snuffing out Susan would have put her in line to lay claim to Ira's wealth.
The wife's issues was from Ira's perspective, though. Maybe some of it was truthful, maybe not. She might not have even known that Kelly and Ira were romantically involved until the arrest. Hard to say.
@@megalopolis2015Yes. We have been told that he was already being investigated for insurance fraud BEFORE he decided to hire a hitman on Susan, so I don’t believe anything he says about Susan either. Clearly he didn’t want her dead because she threatened him with an investigation.
Dr. Grande I was an embalmer for over 40yrs and it is not the creepy job that you expressed in this video. It is not a profession that everyone could practice nor enjoy but for me it was a rewarding experience. CRA
Dr G and his dry ass humor😂😂 love it 🎉
Why does she look like Casey Anthony lol
I lived in Rockland! Sounds accurate
