After a four month investigation, Mississippi’s Attorney General announced that a white officer was justified when he shot at a moving vehicle, killing a 1-year-old black boy and critically injuring the driver. Little Kohen Wiley’s mom and her friend were accused of shoplifting a box of diapers from Walmart, when 5 officers surrounded their vehicle as they were leaving the parking lot. Both women deny stealing anything and have never been charged. The officer who fired the shots, 33-year-old Hunter Foster, has had two accusations of using racial expletives towards his black co-workers and the police chief who chose not to discipline him, was just fired last month for using racial expletives in texts with colleagues.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A New York Times investigation has revealed recently unsealed court documents that say O.J. Simpson may have had an accomplice who helped him dispose of the murder weapon in the killings of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman. While Simpson was acquitted of the murders, according to the alleged accomplice’s brother, mobster Joey Ippolito was willing to testify about his role in the cover-up in exchange for lessened prison time for charges he was facing.  The details surrounding this new information are shocking, even to Simpson prosecutors, who are claiming they knew nothing about this at the time.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
What a let down.   After high hopes that a 90 year mystery would finally be solved, a team of U.S. researchers are leaving a remote island empty-handed after suspected ‘plane debris’ was, in fact,  a clump of trees   The expedition arrived at Nikumaroro in the South Pacific after years of research and a hope that the team had finally located Amelia Earhart’s plane.  Previous visits to the uninhabited island found signs of a castaway camp, a 1930s-era woman’s shoe and other evidence attributed to the celebrity aviator, including glass from a cosmetics freckle cream jar.  But for now, the mystery continues. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
For the first time in its 35 seasons, ‘Dancing With The Stars” has suspended a pro dancer from the show, and it’s because of a social medial post. Val Chmerkovskiy shared a now-deleted TikTok post referencing the Will Smith and Chris Rock 2022 Oscars incident after judge Carie Ann Inaba criticized his wife and fellow pro dancer following their samba routine last episode. Even though Chmerkovskiy publicly apologized, the production company behind DWTS announced over the weekend that “the well-being of everyone who works on Dancing with the Stars is non-negotiable” and that Chmerkovskiy would not participate in this week’s competition.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
A shocking story out of Wichita, Kansas:  A 34-year-old mom with two of her kids in the backseat, drove through a soccer field killing a 6-year-old boy and a 34-year-old man. Five kids between the ages of 5 and 9 were also injured, along with 5 other adults. While the woman is said to be cooperating with police, there is outrage growing that she’s been released without being charged as the investigation continues. Police say they are awaiting toxicology results from the driver and are conducting a mechanical investigation of her pickup truck before deciding on any potential charges. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Even though the Honolulu Medical Examiner has determined that Southwest Airlines attendant Jenny Lupton died by suicide after falling from her 24th floor balcony, the homicide division of the Honolulu police department continues to investigate her death.  Lupton’s family has plenty of reasons to believe the 50-year-old mom would never take her own life, including her final text moments before her death to a friend: “What are we doing tomorrow?” Lupton’s family maintains the medical examiner acknowledged he’s open to changing his suicide finding if police present evidence supporting foul play.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
It was not the interview most people were expecting to see on Fox News: Sean Hannity asking tough questions, complete with follow ups for 41-year old Katie Zacharia. The newly installed and immediately embattled press secretary was trying to clear up questions and confusion over her qualifications to refer to herself as a lawyer. It took several attempts by Hannity to get Zacharia to admit she never took the bar again after failing it the first time. At one point, Hannity asked her a question many of us have been asking: “Why didn’t you just say, ‘I never practiced law?'”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Orlando police have arrested and charged 55-year-old Dale Smith Jr with second degree murder, 15 years after his ex-fiancé Michelle Parker disappeared. Parker was last seen on November 17th, 2011, the very day the couple was featured on ‘The People’s Court,' arguing over a $5,000 engagement ring. Parker dropped off their then three-year-old twins at Smith’s home, and has never been seen again; her body has never been found. While Smith maintains his innocence, police say advances in digital forensics led to additional evidence, paving the way for the arrest they’ve wanted to make for more than a decade.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The Wall Street Journal is reporting that White House Press Secretary Katie Zacharia took the California bar exam after graduating from Pepperdine Law School, but did not pass. This, after the New York Times was able to briefly talk to Zacharia on the phone where she claimed she couldn’t hear when a reporter asked her in what state she passed the bar. Instead, she said she assumed she was asked where she went after graduating law school…. And that’s why she replied “When I was in China?” Zacharia also went on to say the president of her law school told her she could call herself a “lawyer” but she could not refer to herself as an “attorney.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A left leaning non-profit, The Campaign for Accountability, has officially filed a complaint with the California State Bar Association, asking for an investigation into White House Press Secretary Katie Zacharia’s claims that she is a lawyer. To date, there is no evidence that Zacharia is licensed to practice law in any state, yet Zacharia has repeatedly stated in more than a dozen TV appearances that she is a lawyer. The watchdog group is asking the state bar association to refer Zacharia to state prosecutors, where she could be face a misdemeanor, “punishable by up to one year in a county jail or by a fine of up to $1,000” or both. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The Brooklyn store targeted by Kelly Clarkson’s social media posts - describing a rude and offensive employee who refused to sell her an automaton bird - says the backlash is getting scary.

Metallica Harrison has been charged with two counts of murder after she called 9-1-1 to tell the dispatcher she “needed help dying” and that her husband and son were “already gone.” The family had been on an extended vacation at the resort and while police have no known motive in this case, what Harrison said after they arrived, sounded eerliy similar to the Lindsay Clancy case.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
President Trump posted a string of bizarre, and at times offensive, posts over the past several hours.  He first reposted video of a 23-year-old British man mauled to death over the weekend by a tiger after entering the animal’s zoo enclosure. Then, Trump posted an AI video of himself, in the exact same position as the man, but in his video, Trump wins a wrestling match with the same tiger. Trump also posted another video clip of big cats mauling people, without a caption or an explanation.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Trump’s new press secretary, 41-year-old Katie Zacharia is becoming her own headline after making her debut today in her first press conference. Zacharia looked and sounded nervous in her first outing infront of the White House Press Corps, reading from her notes and only calling on three reporters, all from conservative networks. She shockingly only held a 13 minute press briefing, which left news outlets without the ability to ask any questions and the resulting headlines are now questioning just how long Zacharia will last in the position.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Shortly after Trump’s new press secretary made news by revealing the President asked Kimberly Guilfoyle to resign her position as U.S. Ambassador to Greece, Guilfoyle kinda sorta made a resignation announcement on X. The former ambassador didn’t use the word “resign”, but instead acknowledged that her “time as Ambassador may be coming to an end.”  Guilfoyle also addressed “the recent allegations” against her, calling them false, saying she intends to vigorously defend her name.  Meantime the Trump donor who Guilfoyle allegedly begged to pay her American Express bill is making the media rounds, saying he intends to sue Guilfoyle for defamation in the coming days. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
This is the first time Governor Ron DeSantis has ever canceled a planned execution in his nearly 8 years in office. While DeSantis did not officially give a reason for the stay of William Lee Thompson’s execution, an anti death penalty group describes Thompson as “gravely ill, has dementia” and requires complete assistance for basic activities. Thompson has spent nearly 5 years on death row for the heinous and brutal beating death of 23-year-old Sally Iverson, but according to reports, the 74-year-old lacks the mental capacity to understand his situation and the reason why he’s on death row.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Robertson pleaded guilty to first degree murder, waived his right to appeal, and asked for the death penalty back in 2008, and today Florida is carrying out his requested punishment.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Three friends of Nolan Wells, the college student who went missing during a Fourth of July celebration in Mississippi, have sued NFL Hall of Famer Terrell Owens for defamation. Owens reposted a video, with pictures of three boys’ faces, accusing them of murdering Wells and adding the caption “ARREST THEM IMMEDIATELY!!” Owens post came after a grand jury did not recommend any criminal charges in Wells’ death. Lawyers for the friends say they also intend to file several more defamation claims, among them, the Rev. Al Sharpton and “The View” co-host Sunny Hostin for comments they made discussing Wells' death.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
New Jersey police made a horrific discovery inside a multimillion dollar mansion: three members of the same family, all fatally shot. But police now believe it was the father, 61-year-old insurance executive David Grodnick who shot and killed his 62-year-old wife, Lora and their 24-year-old daughter, Sloane before turning the gun on himself. We discuss the details of this case, one that follows a disturbing trend this year, where seemingly successful, educated men murder their entire families before killing themselves, with little to no explanation.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Halle Berry has filed an emergency request, asking the court to restore her 50/50 custody arrangement with her ex-husband Olivier Martinez regarding their 13-year-old son Maceo. Berry gives a very different account of what happened between her and Maceo on September 26th, saying she would never hurt her son. Martinez claimed Berry physically abused Maceo and placed him in a chokehold, which led a judge to issue a temporary restraining order against the Oscar winning actress. Berry also goes into detail what she claims are examples of Martinez’s negative influence over her son designed to damage her relationship with Maceo.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
This is a frightening story to wake up to, and there aren’t a lot of reassuring answers right now. The U.S. State Department and the CDC say they are both closely monitoring a situation in Siberia, after the suspicious death of a 28-year-old Russian lab researcher who was studying the pneumonic plague. She officially died of pneumonia of an “unknown” origin, but testing is underway with 200 of her colleagues under medical observations with at least 5 facilities under quarantine. The pneumonic plague is a rare and deadly lung infection that is passed from human to human and is considered the most dangerous form of the disease.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
President Trump was defending the war with Iran and the resulting higher gas and energy prices with a poorly worded comment that seemed to suggest he’d be fine with Iran taking out Los Angeles and San Diego. Trump was trying to say that the higher prices Americans are paying are a small price to pay, rather than having Iran take out an American city. The problem was, the way he stated it sounded like he was inciting Iran to take them out and that has elicited several strongly worded reactions from mayors, and the California governor, saying Trump actively threatened and encouraged attacks on American lives. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It was a heartbreaking and dramatic afternoon in court as Caleb Flynn heard directly from his two young daughters who wrote letters to him read aloud by his wife, Ashley’s family members. Alyssa and Ava Flynn told their father how much pain he’s caused them and begged him to tell the truth about killing their mother. Other members of Ashely’s family spoke directly to Flynn, including her own parents who told their former son-in-law that they forgive him. Flynn read a letter to his daughters, family members and Ashley’s family apologizing for his decisions and hateful words, but insisting that he did not kill his wife. The judge gave him stern words, and then, the maximum sentence possible: life without parole. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The headlines are brutal for Tom Cruise’s new movie ‘Digger’ with major news outlets saying the film is set to lose $150 million dollars after opening to a shocking $8 million dollar debut. The satirical black comedy actually received a decent audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, with fans giving it a 71%, but critics calling it everything from an “unintentionally bad movie” to “insufferably sanctimonious." Cruise took to social media over the weekend to defend the film that he says he was proud and honored to help create. We went to the theaters expecting the worst, and were shocked…. At how much we loved it, and its exceptionally talented cast. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Over the weekend, President Trump gave out Republican Senator Tom Cotton’s personal cell phone number, asking Arkansans to pressure Cotton to support “The Sunshine Protection Act.”  Trump wants Cotton, who he says is holding up the bill because of his “ego” to support the measure passed by the House that would make Daylight Saving Time permanent. Time is running out for the President, who wants to stop the clocks from falling back on November 1, as recent polls show Americans split on how they want the hands of time to land.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
As Christa Pike remains hospitalized, unconscious, on a ventilator in critical condition after a failed execution attempt, the man in charge of Tennessee prisons has announced his resignation.  Governor Bill Lee did not directly reference the situation with Pike, or with this spring’s botched execution of Tony Carruthers, but said Department of Correction Commissioner Frank Strada stepping aside is "in the best interest of Tennesseans as the independent review moves forward."  Strada was most recently the Deputy Director of the Arizona Department of Corrections where he last oversaw three troubled lethal injections that all involved personnel not being able to find the inmates’ veins.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

When police burst through the front door, they found the four kids, including a 2 1/2 month old and a 2-year-old, hiding in the bathroom. Belizaire was in court this week pleading not guilty, and asking for visitation with her kids, which elicited a tongue lashing from the judge. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Governor Kathy Hochul held a brief, joint press conference with New York Attorney General Letitia James. Governor Hochul said the Cornell rape accuser was 'failed' by the people who were obligated to protect her, namely the police and the District Attorney.

It took former Cornell University student “Jane Doe” filing a lawsuit, and outrage on social media, for prosectors to “reopen” the investigation into her allegations that 7 members of the Chi Phi fraternity drugged and gang raped her back in 2024. The District Attorney claims he never received the full transcript of Jane Doe’s interview with campus police, and says this new lawsuit makes claims that were not made during the initial investigation. There is a lot of finger pointing going on, and a lot of questions being asked, as Jane Does’ full transcript of what she says happened that night have been released. It’s ugly, it’s appalling, and now, two years later, a grand jury will determine if it was criminal.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today marks the 41st anniversary of a month created to bring awareness and save lives for millions of women around the world. October 1st is the beginning of Breast Cancer Awareness month and to mark that day 13 years ago, Amy had a mammogram on live national television to remind women to make their own potentially life saving appointments. It was that scan that ultimately led to a stage 2 breast cancer at the age of 40. Today, the American Cancer Society wants women and men to know their risks, know the warning signs and help provide the information and resources available. 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime, but the earlier its detected, the better chance of surviving it. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Quick and brave actions by the captain of Flydubai flight 1073 and several of its passengers averted a deadly disaster, saving the lives of more than 170 people on board a flight headed from Dubai to Tel Aviv on Wednesday. The investigation is ongoing, but the details of what happened mid-air are nothing short of remarkable. A co-pilot who has now been detained, reportedly began stabbing the captain in an attempt to crash the plane. While being attacked, the captain was able to open the cockpit door, allowing passengers to rush in, neutralize the co-pilot and stabilize the plane that had dropped more than 17 thousand feet in less than two minutes. While it’s unclear whether this was an orchestrated terror attack, it is clear that the actions of a few, saved the lives of everyone on board.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

71-year-old Douglas Carter walked out of prison this week after spending 40 years on death row for a 1985 murder he says he never committed. Carter was finally freed after DNA from the crime scene excluded him as a suspect. Carter was finally granted a new trial last year after the Utah Supreme Court ruled the two witnesses who testified against him recanted their stories, revealing that police and a prosecutor gave them cash and gifts to point the finger at Carter. Prosecutors agreed with the judge to release Carter, despite objections from the victims’ family.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Multiple inmates have described a life Sean “Diddy” Combs has curated in prison, spending thousands of dollars a month for men to make his bed, cook his food, clean his clothes and give him massages. They also have photos and videos showing Diddy on a phone - which is not permitted - and say Diddy has premium alcohol that he sometimes shares with a tight circle of inmates on the weekends.  Diddy’s reps have already responded to the allegations, but didn’t necessarily deny them.

In a shocking development, a federal appeals court has stepped in and stopped the execution of 50-year-old Christa Pike. Pike would’ve been the first woman in more than 200 years executed by the state of Tennessee, and she had already lost her appeal to the Supreme Court. Governor Bill Lee even announced earlier this week that he would not offer Pike clemency. The federal court wants to review whether Pike’s allegations of childhood sexual abuse and rape were fully considered at her sentencing. The mother of Pike’s victim, Colleen Slemmer had raised money to travel to Nashville to attend Pike’s execution, and has been publicly advocating for her execution for the past three decades. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
50-year-old Christa Pike is scheduled to become the first woman executed in Tennessee since 1819.   Pike was convicted of the torture and murder of an alleged romantic rival when she was 18-years-old.  She committed her crime with her then 17-year-old boyfriend, and because of his age he was given a life sentence, while Pike was sentenced to death. There have been dozens of women’s advocacy groups trying to halt her execution based on her extensive sexual abuse and mental health history.  At this point, all of Pike’s appeals have been exhausted, and the Governor of Tennessee has already made his decision not to intervene. The mother of Pike’s victim, Colleen Slemmer, plans to attend, saying she’s been waiting for this day for more than 30 years.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
It took the jury less than three hours to convict 40-year-old former American Idol Contestant Caleb Flynn for the murder of his wife, Ashley, last February.

The defense spent nearly an hour trying to convince the jury there was reasonable doubt because no physical evidence connected Flynn to the murder.

While no date has been set yet for the retrial of Lindsay Clancy, the prosecution acknowledged it is moving forward with its case against the mom accused of strangling her three young children to death.  Clancy’s defense attorney surprised the court, making an argument that the case against her should be thrown out because there is no actual evidence she killed her children.

The fate of Caleb Flynn will be in the hands of the jury today after both the prosecution and defense rested their cases on Monday. The prosecution called 40 witnesses over the past 7 days, while the defense chose to rest without calling a single witness to the stand. The former American Idol contestant is accused of shooting and killing his wife Ashely while she was sleeping and then staging the home to make it look like a burglary. While the defense reminded the jury there is no physical evidence linking Flynn to the murder, there is a mountain of circumstantial evidence pointing to Flynn,  including from his own text messages.

Lindsay Clancy’s attorney, Kevin Reddington, has filed several motions for today’s hearing as we wait to hear whether prosecutors plan to retry Clancy for the strangling deaths of her three children.  Reddington will first ask the judge to find Clancy not guilty by reason of lack of criminal responsibility.  The defense has also moved to dismiss the case on double jeopardy grounds, arguing the judge should not have declared a mistrial, but instead should have questioned the holdout juror or replaced him. Reddington has also requested additional information about the juror, including cellphone records and his confidential questionnaire, as the juror himself spoke out for the first time on Monday.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There are two new studies out that show younger people aren’t having as much sex and it’s a fairly significant shift from a decade ago. The Institute for Family Studies found that nearly 25 percent of adults ages 18 to 29 haven’t had sex in the past year. A recent Playboy study found the same results, and now experts are looking into why. From burn out from dating apps, to social anxiety stemming from the pandemic, to young adults moving back in with their parents, some experts believe this trend will continue to lower our country’s fertility rates further. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

41-year-old Ker’Sean Ramey is scheduled to die this evening by lethal injection for a 2005 triple homicide.

It was a hell of a day at the United Nations for President Trump and everyone listening. Trump began by telling CNN that they shouldn’t be covering him at the UN after banning the news organization’s access, and then told the world they shouldn’t be calling AI, “Artificial” Intelligence. Trump essentially  issued a world-wide decree to change the name to “Super” Intelligence, or SI and said he opposed international regulation of the technology.

A doctor who studies gut feelings for a living wrote a fascinating article in the Washington Post this month. We learn about the science behind a gut feeling and when and how to know whether to trust it.  Researchers found that people who make quick judgements based on gut feelings alone, only get it right around 54% of the time. Instead, scientists say you should treat gut feelings as stop signs, a moment to assess what you’re feeling and why before making a rash decision. They even suggest doing two specific exercises to interrupt the hormonal surge that happens when a “gut feeling” takes over your body.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
This is a list that will have many of you questioning how much you share with others, who you share that information with, and why you’re sharing it in the first place. Oversharing is a common trait in many of us, but sharing itself isn’t the problem, it’s when you’re sharing to get affirmation that’s at issue. Emotionally secure people don’t need their life to be witnessed in order to feel seen, and they don’t need others to confirm what they already know about themselves. We’ll go over the 8 things emotionally secure people keep to themselves, and how they choose to share their stories in a more meaningful way. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Most of us spend more than half of our lives trying to accumulate wealth, and then the last half we try to save what we have either to ensure we won’t run out or to leave all that earned income to our children. And while it still remains controversial, the push to “die with zero” money in your account is gaining steam, but experts say it’s harder than you may think. The concept is ideal: after working hard your entire life, you retire, and then you spend and enjoy that money until you last check bounces on the day you die. The problem, most people are too afraid of running out of money, they keep hoarding it and deny themselves the upgrades, travel experiences and ultimately, “under-living” their golden years.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The chatroom says it operates under strict rules against any type of illicit behavior, but says it exists because there is no safe way for “minor-attracted people” to access support for fear of stigmatization. The site goes on to say that most people attracted to minors behave responsibly and giving them a place to talk leads to more positive outcomes. They point out that Thornton’s firing - which they call a metaphorical lynching - illustrates the need for change in how we view people who have this attraction.

Most of us have seen the frightening warning made by an AI researcher who left his position at Anthropic because of his concerns for the world’s safety given the increasing capabilities of artificial intelligence. And what’s even scarier, several other researchers and leaders in the industry are backing up those claims and concerns, saying AI technology may soon be able to hack anything and unless we slow down, we are literally gambling with our lives. Those with insider knowledge believe that AI is mankind’s greatest immediate threat, the question, what can be done?”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Andrew and Tristan Tate will remain behind bars in a Florida prison while continuing to fight extradition to the UK where the self proclaimed misogynist brothers are facing nearly 60 charges of sex crimes.  Romania just added additional charges agains the Tates late last week, including trafficking minors, sex with a minor, witness tampering and money laundering. Despite the growing number of charges, Tate’s attorney and the brothers themselves have been using social media to describe themselves as victims, claiming prosecutors don’t like their misogynistic message and fame.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
There are all sorts of issues with President Trump’s stunning, and unconventional promise at Wednesday’s Republican midterm convention. Trump announcing that “If the Republicans win, you win," promising every U.S. adult citizen $5,000 if Republicans win the House of Representatives and the United States Senate come November. Trump describing the cash payout like a successful company that gives a cash distribution to its shareholders. Obviously it’s illegal to influence votes, but even if this offer falls into a legal loophole, it’s still unclear how Trump would pay for the $1.2 trillion dollars the offer would cost, and if the outcome of recent financial promises are any indication… your check won’t be in the mail anytime soon, if ever.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The reaction has been mixed, following Phoebe Bridgers red carpet appearances at the Venice Film Festival. Bridgers has been both praised and shamed by fans for not only revealing her massive pit stain on the red carpet just days after showing her leg hair on the red carpet. It’s been a debate for decades now, going all the way back to 1999 and Julia Roberts’ arm pit hair reveal during her red carpet appearance at the London premiere of ’Notting Hill.” Two years ago, Dove had a #FreeThePits campaign, encouraging women to be confident regardless of their underarm choices… but just how far have we come? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The President made yet another questionable claim about his experience and involvement during and in the aftermath the 9/11 attacks while honoring first responders at an event in DC on Tuesday.  Trump claims two strong fireman lifted him up and pulled him from a building because of fears that the United States Steel building might come crashing down. The problem, fact checkers maintain that Trump was actually at Trump Towers at the time of the attack, which is several miles away from the “creaky building” which he described as “not so far from us.”  This is just the latest in a series of conflicting and erroneous comments the President has made over the years regarding his involvement and recollection of his role, but Trump has fired back at his critics in a lengthy Truth Social post, insisting it’s all “fake news.” See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The ex-husband of Lindsay Clancy and father to little Cora, Dawson and Callan has had enough of the lies and threats coming from a handful of online influencers who continue to peddle the false theory that he killed his children and framed Lindsay so he could be with his new wife.

Three of the Lindsay Clancy jurors are talking about what it was like in the jury deliberation room and give their impressions on the case, providing some fascinating insight into the 5 week long trial, and the 30 plus hours of deliberations that ended in a mistrial. The three women, including the jury foreperson, describe the holdout juror as an arrogant man who acknowledged he had reasonable doubt, but refused to sign off on the not guilty verdict. They also discuss the point at which they were convinced Clancy was in a state of psychosis, and not criminally responsible for the deaths of her three children… and it didn’t come from a medical professional. And finally, all three women were impacted by the lack of compassion from the prosecution as they presented their case, calling their tone “cold” and “harsh.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A judge denied the release of 40-year-old mom of four, Corie Walsh during her first court appearance after strangling her 2-year-old son Barrett last week, saying she remains a risk to her other children and husband. Walsh’s attorneys wanted their client sent to a mental health facility, claiming Walsh had a fascination with the Lindsay Clancy trial while suffering a psychotic event at the time of the murder. Some new and chilling details came out of today’s hearing: police described Walsh as “incoherent” and claimed she believed she had killed her other children while planning to poison her husband with a drink when he came home. Walsh is charged with first degree murder after her two older children found their 2 year old brother hanging from the rafters of their basement.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On its face, it sounds horrific: a mom allows her five-year-old son to walk alone to a neighborhood pond, a half mile away. That mom is Karyann Parkinson and she’s speaking out after being convicted of contributing to the delinquency of a minor. Parkinson is also now on a state abuse registry for the next seven years. The mom of five says she had just walked to the pond six times with her son that day, in their gated community, complete with security guards. It was one of those guards who escorted the boy home, and ultimately called police.  Debate is now raging online among parents, how young is too young to walk alone, and what is the role of the state when it comes to making parenting decisions? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Our dear, late friend and guardian angel, PR guru Howard Bragman had just invited us to meet the new man in his life on a trip to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. Howard was offering us a safe space, away from the paparazzi and nosy tabloid reporters, after a particularly tough day negotiating our exit from ABC.  Howard wanted us to meet the man he said he was going to marry one day, Mike Maimone, but God had other plans. Just days after accepting his offer, Howard suddenly passed from an acute and deadly form of leukemia, but the day before he passed, Mike proposed and the two married at Howard’s hospital bedside. We eventually did meet Mike, a few weeks later at Howard’s memorial service, and now he’s become a forever friend to us.

Now, TMZ has released new photos from the passenger who documented Thornton’s online activities, showing what he did after the flight attendant confronted him and told him to close his laptop. Thornton was looking for advice from AI about being digitally linked to the pedophile chatroom, even suggesting he was panicked. TMZ also identified Thornton’s chatroom handle, which exposes exactly what he was saying on the chatroom while in flight. We want to warn you, the messages are extremely disturbing. Thornton’s attorneys initially offered a flimsy explanation of accidentally clicking a link, but are no longer commenting, following his firingSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
A one hour delay, turned into a three hour ordeal, that ultimately ended in a mistrial. After a judge from the Massachusetts Supreme Court denied the defense’s last-ditch effort for an emergency stay, Judge Sullivan officially declared a mistrial in the Lindsay Clancy triple murder trial. There was no emotion on the faces of Lindsay Clancy, her family, or any of the jurors after the announcement was made, following 40 hours of deliberations and a grueling 5 week trial. There is already a status hearing on the books to prepare for a possible retrial, which the DA has not committed to as of yet, set for the end of the month. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The jury came back after nearly 38 hours of deliberations with a note that said “with a heavy heart”  we are unable to come to a unanimous decision. After protest from the defense, Judge Sullivan said he had no choice but to declare a mistrial. But that didn’t stop Kevin Reddington who asked to appeal to a Supreme Court Justice to issue an emergency stay on the ruling, and shockingly, Judge Sullivan gave him one hour. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Before jurors began deliberating again this morning, things got heated once again between Lindsay Clancy’s attorney Kevin Reddington and Judge Sullivan. Reddington wanted the holdout juror to be questioned in open court, but the judge ultimately denied his request, saying there was no indication the juror has refused to deliberate or follow the law. Reddington then accused the judge of softly, glossing over his instructions to the jury, and that’s when Sullivan fired back, defending himself. The judge ultimately gave new, slightly more forceful instructions to jurors before sending them back to deliberations.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A dramatic turn of events in the Lindsay Clancy triple murder trial. There was a heated sidebar between the attorneys, the judge and Lindsay Clancy after the jury sent a note saying one juror has refused to follow the judge’s instructions on reasonable doubt. The judge called in each juror, one by one, asked them a question and then read aloud instructions for evaluating reasonable doubt. That wasn’t enough for defense attorney Kevin Reddington who filed a motion to have that one juror removed. The judge denied his motion and sent the jury back to deliberate. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
As the jury just headed back into Day 6 of deliberations, it’s hard to imagine there aren’t some heated, emotional back and forth discussions going on as one side tries to convince the other to come to their way of thinking.

The 12 jurors for the Lindsay Clancy triple murder trial are headed back to deliberations this morning, after trying to reach a verdict for nearly 30 hours over the past five days.

It’s hard to believe that after all the drama of the morning and the final “dynamite’ charge from the judge, the jury has agreed to come back on Thursday and try again. Day 6 of deliberations in the Lindsay Clancy triple murder trial will begin at 9 am tomorrow morning. Reporters inside the courtroom have noted that the jurors look visibly frustrated after nearly 30 hours of deliberations, and if they can’t reach a consensus tomorrow, the judge cannot legally ask them to continue. With that in mind, it appears on Thursday we will either get a verdict, or the judge will be forced to declare a mistrial.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The jury came back from lunch with another note, letting the judge know they remain deadlocked and cannot reach a verdict. The judge issued his second and final instruction to the jury, reading from what’s known as the “Tuey Rodriguez” charge, encouraging jurors to reconsider their positions.

A major announcement from the number one syndicated show on TV: ‘Wheel Of Fortune’ is suspending its longtime announcer Jim Thorton after it was “made aware of allegations” stemming from an American Airlines flight back in May. The details are scarce, but reportedly a fellow passenger on Thorton’s flight complained about him to a flight attendant, who then alerted the pilot, who then called law enforcement. Thorton’s reps have denied that he engaged in any illegal conduct and said police determined there was no wrongdoing within five minutes of talking to him. If that’s the case, then why did Sony suspend him? A lot of questions remain to be answered.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
56 year old Dawn Light stood before another Massachusetts judge this morning facing the serious charge of juror intimidation after being caught by police filming jurors in the Lindsay Clancy trial.  Prosecutors claim the retired nurse and mother was in a restricted parking lot and adamantly denied taking photos of jurors, only for police to find a video of them in her deleted files.  Her attorneys claim it was just a misunderstanding, and that Light was only trying to get a picture of Lindsay Clancy.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The Judge in the Lindsay Clancy triple murder trial began the morning with a veiled, yet stern announcement, reminding everyone in the courtroom the statutes governing conduct within the proceedings.  Without getting specific, it appears the judge was referring to the arrest of a woman photographing jurors outside the courthouse yesterday.  Reporters in the courtroom then witnessed the judge asking each juror a question one by one with attorneys from both sides present, before dismissing them to begin their deliberations.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Jurors are expected back in court at 9am this morning to begin their 5th day of deliberations after telling the judge on Tuesday they were deadlocked.

First, we’re still not sure whether or not Sincere and Melanie are a couple and we’re still not sure we believe Carl and Aniya ever were one (they claim they are).  The drama broke out when Sol began complaining again about her treatment in the villa, but was humiliated after producers showed never before seen clips that proved otherwise.

There will be a fifth day of deliberations in the Lindsay Clancy triple murder trial, after the jury asked to go home early once again today.  This, after the judge sent the deadlocked jurors back to deliberate, late this morning.  In the state of Massachusetts, the judge can only send the jury back twice without their consent, but may ultimately issue what’s called the “Tuey Rodriguez” charge, encouraging jurors to reevaluate their decision and consider where the other jurors are, while staying true to their personal convictions.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

More than two dozen countries around the world have special laws to prevent a new mother from being convicted of murder if she kills her own child within 12 months of giving birth.  That means a jury would not be considering first or second degree murder charges against Lindsay Clancy if the same exact scenario happened in most other western, industrialized countries. It all dates back to the “Infanticide Act of 1938” which allows for manslaughter charges to be brought against a mother who kills her child under a year old because “the balance of her mind was disturbed by reason of her not having fully recovered from the effect of gibing birth to the child.” See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The jurors in the Lindsay Clancy trial will begin day three of deliberations as they weigh competing medical diagnoses, along with any of their own personal experiences with parenting, motherhood and mental illness. Legal experts say it’s likely an emotional and overwhelming task for jurors, as they determine whether or not mental illness prevented the Massachusetts mom from knowing right from wrong as she strangled her three young children. Meantime, there was an interesting development outside of the courtroom: Dr. Avram Mack resigned from his position at a Delaware children’s hospital immediately after wrapping up his highly contentious testimony where he said Clancy was not suffering from postpartum psychosis. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We were shocked when we actually looked at the legends we have lost beginning back in January with Catherine O’Hara to the news we lost both Dolly Parton and Tim Curry on the same day. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Honolulu police have confirmed their homicide division is leading the investigation into the death of 50 year old Jenny Lupton, whose body was found after falling from a 24th floor hotel balcony in Waikiki.  Lupton’s family insists the loving mom to a 15 year old son would never take her own life; she had been enjoying her layover with a flight attendant friend and had just gotten a tattoo the day before her death, with plans to color it in once she retuned home to Oklahoma.  Police have not determined her cause of death yet and say they plan to “limit the release of certain information” to preserve the integrity of the investigation, while asking the public to refrain from sharing unverified information while they continue their work. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The jury in the Lindsay Clancy triple murder trial continues deliberating today, after spending 3 and a half hours on Thursday.  After 21 days of testimony and 85 witnesses, the 12 jurors will have five potential verdicts to consider, including manslaughter, that could leave the Massachusetts mom who admitted to killing her three young children in prison for the rest of her life, committed to a mental institution, or free from punishment entirely.  Her defense attorney, Kevin Reddington, acknowledged his polarizing personality answering a series of questions from reporters as he left the courthouse, saying he has no idea what the jury is going to decide.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The prosecution began its closing arguments by acknowledging Lindsay Clancy was mentally ill, but pointed out that she had an “abundance of help” and was in a privileged position. Prosecutor Jennifer Sprague told jurors that Clancy lied to health care providers, lied to her husband, friends and family., telling them she was getting better. Sprague at one point, even made a comparison to Andrea Yates, saying Yates tried to commit suicide twice to try and protect her children, until the judge intervened.  The prosecution ended by saying Clancy left her children “discarded on the basement floor, like broken toys, because she was done playing the game.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
As expected, the jury heard a dramatic and powerful closing argument from Lindsay Clancy defense attorney Kevin Reddington. Reporters inside the courtroom described both Clancy and several jurors wiping tears from their eyes as Reddington showed pictures of the once happy family that he said was ripped apart because “of the damn medicine and the lousy medical care that she got." Reddington took nearly the full hour to make his final case to jurors, saying the prosecution has manipulated the evidence, and reiterating that Clancy was a “darn good mother” who had no motive to kill her kids. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Yes, their crimes are horrifically linked: Andrea Yates and Lindsay Clancy both claim they were “commanded” to kill their children one by one, both were former nurses, both were raised Catholic and both pleaded guilty by reason of insanity, citing postpartum psychosis. But 25 years later, turns out one of the state’s star witnesses, Dr. Avram Mack, who testified Clancy knew right from wrong and is criminally responsible for killing her kids, works for the very psychiatrist who was later proven to have falsely testified against Andrea Yates. Dr. Park Dietz said Andrea Yates replicated a “Law and Order” episode to get away with murder, but the episode never happened, and his testimony ultimately led to Yates getting a new trial where she was found not guilty by reason of insanity.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
After listening to 85 witnesses over the past five weeks, it appears Lindsay Clancy’s fate will be in the hands of the jury by mid-day, in a trial that has captivated the country. This morning, we will hear closing arguments from both the defense and prosecution and then jurors will be able to choose one of five verdicts, including manslaughter. Testimony concluded on Wednesday with an FBI forensic psychiatrist who testified Clancy is criminally responsible for the strangling deaths of her three young children. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Testimony has wrapped in the case against Massachusetts mom, Lindsay Clancy, and closing arguments are set for Thursday. The final witness was one of three rebuttal witnesses called by the prosecution, all of whom testified that Clancy was not suffering from postpartum psychosis at the time she strangled her three young children to death. The defense spent hours attempting to discredit the senior forensic psychologist for the FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit, who told jurors Clancy was in control and aware of the illegality of her actions.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Judge Paul A. Engelmayer gave Ghislaine Maxwell a verbal spanking while ruling against her bid to overturn her sex trafficking convictions for her role in the Jeffrey Epstein saga. Judge Engelmayer wrote a 67 page ruling where he calls Maxwell’s claims meritless and frivolous and said the Epstein file release not only didn’t exonerate her, it further incriminated her and reinforced the verdict against her. He also made it very clear, Maxwell is out of legal options, writing that no further appeals would be considered. We have reaction from Epstein survivors and what Congress has tried to do to prevent her only get-out-of-jail card left: a Presidential pardon. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
This is a disturbing trend that is happening weekly, if not daily: a man kills his entire family and then himself. 44-year-old Alan Smith was reportedly kicked out of his Billings, Montana home, but came back with a gun during dinner and murdered his sister, her four children, his parents and his 90-year-old grandmother in a wheelchair. He then set the home on fire and took his own life as police were approaching. In the middle of his rampage, his 12-year-old niece was able to call 9-1-1,  where dispatchers heard gunfire in the background. Unfortunately, it was too late by the time police arrived, and unfortunately this summer has proven to be among the deadliest in family mass shootings.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
It was another contentious day in court that once again, ended abruptly after the state’s rebuttal witness began to testify to children’s inherent “strong will to survive’. The defense immediately objected and, after a sidebar,  the judge told the witness to step down and called it a day for the jury.  This, after defense attorney Kevin Reddington continued to aggressively cross examine the prosecution’s expert witnesses who have testified Clancy was “morally aware” her actions were against the law and that she was NOT in a state of psychosis. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

WOW. Not only did the dethroned Miss North Carolina NOT apologize for using the N-word, or any other offensive previous social media posts, she claimed her right to use the racist slurs because her great grandfather identified as black AND because it’s popular slang used by Beyonce and other artists. In her new lawsuit, which is a hell of a read, Brittany Boltinhouse claims pageant officials “maliciously coordinated to publish a narrative portraying her as a racist, homophobe, transphobe, and intolerable bigot.” She takes zero responsibility for her past actions, and instead is asking for an unidentified sum of money for her “excruciating reputational destruction.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
A horrific story out of Pennsylvania: an 18-year-old college freshman brutally stabbed to death in her own vehicle, by her own boyfriend. 18-year-old Royce Moser told police a demon took over him and told him to stab Karoline Heintz after a late night argument. Moser then called his mom, who reportedly admitted to helping her son cover up the crime, cleaning up blood from the car and her son’s clothing, then throwing away the murder weapon. Both mother and son are now in custody facing multiple charges.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Police say 36-year-old Benjamin Parker murdered his girlfriend, her mother, her grandmother, her best friend and boyfriend, along with the family’s pets and then drove 200 miles and killed himself.

The forensic psychologist who set off a firestorm in the courtroom on Monday will be back on the stand today.  The judge ultimately ruled against a mistrial, but admonished the prosecution and instructed the jury to disregard Dr. Helibrun’s testimony about “mortal sin”.   Testimony resumes today, first with Helibrun - and we can’t wait to hear how defense attorney Kevin Reddington handles any further questioning of him - and then with the state’s final rebuttal witness.  We could see closing arguments as soon as Wednesday, and Lindsay Clancy’s fate should be in the hands of the jury by midweek. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The judge in the Lindsay Clancy triple murder trial was fuming after a prosecution rebuttal witness brought up Clancy’s Catholic faith and her understanding of mortal sin. Before the defense could even object, the judge called a recess, and when Clancy’s attorney “reluctantly” asked for a mistrial, the judge denied the request, but strongly advised the jury that the witness’ understanding of Catholic faith and teaching is immaterial and should be disregarded, calling it inappropriate. This is the second time the prosecution has brought up the idea of mortal sin, implying that Lindsay Clancy knew killing her children and attempting suicide was wrong because of her faith. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
We are hearing from the brother of Hayden Panetierre’s boyfriend, who describes a desperate scene after realizing the young actress was unconscious on a pull out couch last Sunday afternoon.

Week five of the Lindsay Clancy trial begins today after an explosive day of cross examination with the prosecution’s first rebuttal witness, Dr. Avram Mack.  Dr. Mack will be back on the stand this morning after maintaining Clancy had the capacity to understand right from wrong when she strangled her three young children. Clancy’s defense attorney went on to discredit Dr. Mack, questioning his knowledge of Lindsay, his experience treating pregnant and postpartum women and much of what he testified to moments earlier.

Anthony’s lawyers have vowed to continue their fight, arguing Anthony wasn’t able to take the stand in his own defense because the prosecution reneged on part of their verbal, backroom deal. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The final day for the defense on Friday could serve as a master class for attorneys everywhere! After Lindsay Clancy’s attorney Kevin Reddington finished questioning his final witness, a forensic psychiatrist who stated Clancy was in a psychotic state, he was far from done.

Panetierre’s abusive on-again-off-again boyfriend, Brian Hickerson released a statement via his attorney pointing out there were no signs of foul play, but acknowledged her death remains under investigation. Meantime, her mother continued to defect any blame about her role in her “estranged” daughter’s death by continuing to point the finger at Hickerson.

Jurors and the world heard, for the very first time, defendant Duane Davis confessing to police who he claimed shot and killed Tupac Shakur on the Vegas Strip 30 years ago. Davis is heard on tape telling detectives about what happened that night and his role in the murder right after police assure him “Nothing you say today can be used against you” and that “nothing leaves this room” in a deal that had to anger family and friends of Shakur. Police knew ALL this time who shot and killed Shakur, and we’re only now hearing about it?

Jurors had to be questioned one-by-one in a sidebar with the judge per the prosecution’s request. After that, the defense put a hospital chaplain on the stand who testified Lindsay’s first words to her were that she was glad her children were safe. She also testified that Lindsay told her a voice told her if she did not follow the command neither she nor her children would be safe.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Opening statements and testimony began in the trial against Duane Davis, charged with the 1996 murder of rap icon Tupac Shakur. While prosectors acknowledge Davis was not the actual gunman, they claim he was the mastermind behind the murder and supplied the gun used to kill Shakur. The defense showed jurors a large slide with a single word on it: “Bullshit” and said their client was known for embellishing and lying about things. And that’s important, because it’s the only way for the defense to refute the prosecution’s evidence, which is Davis’ own repeated statements, confessions and written words about what happened that night on the Vegas Strip. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

How do we get that feeling? By changing our conversations.

When he was named professor of sociology back in 2023 at the age of 37, he became the youngest black professor in the University’s history. He soon became the subject of questions and scrutiny for some of his published work and his seemingly remarkable personal backstory where Arday claimed he was non-verbal until age 11.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
It was a stunning day in federal court as 28-year-old Luigi Mangione pleaded guilty to federal charges of stalking resulting in death of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. Mangione was emotionless as he described how and why he murdered Thompson, detailing years of back pain and frustration with the insurance industry. It’s unclear now what will happen to the New York State murder charge against Magnione, his trial set to start on Sept 8th.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
It’s been more than a year since 33-year-old Martha Nolan was found dead on a wealthy Montauk entrepreneur’s yacht last August and police have yet to release her cause of death or any updates on the investigation. So now, Nolan’s family is asking the public for information, setting up a website and tip line just days after filing a $50 million lawsuit against Christopher Durnan, the man who was alone with Nolan when she died. Even though police say she showed no signs of violence, Nolan’s family says their independent investigation showed there was blood in her mouth, chest and back of her head when EMTs showed up more than an hour after she reportedly “went limp” on Durnan’s yacht.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
In what’s being described as an “aggressive test” of a judge’s order to remove Trump’s name from the Kennedy Center, its board overwhelmingly approved adding “Restored and Renovated by President Donald J. Trump” beneath the Center’s name.  And when we say add, we mean engraved into the building’s facade.  The same judge who ordered his name be taken down would have to approve this new addition, which seems highly unlikely, but the board also voted to rename the plaza in front of the Center “Trump Plaza” and offered three options for closing down the memorial for renovations. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
A “special court conference” is getting underway today in a Manhattan federal courtroom, after both the defense and prosecution requested a last minute hearing where sources claim Luigi Mangione will plead guilty to federal charges. If that happens, it puts his state murder trial set to begin in three weeks into question, with the defense likely to argue for dismissal on double jeopardy grounds. Mangione is charged in the shooting death of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in December of 2024. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
It was another fascinating day in court in the Lindsay Clancy triple murder trial. Three witnesses took the stand on Thursday, all of them from law enforcement. We learned about the searches, texts and notes Lindsay Clancy made in the months, weeks and even on the day of the murders of her three young children. The defense claims Clancy is not responsible for the strangling deaths of her kids because she was suffering from postpartum psychosis. The prosecution tried to establish on Thursday she was actually a controlling mom who was frustrated she couldn’t parent the way she wanted to and even searched whether you can “treat a sociopath” just four days before the killings.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It’s hard to believe that for two days in a row we have reports of a husband and father killing his entire family. This horrific tragedy took place on an idyllic tree lined street in a Minneapolis suburb Wednesday morning. A mother dropping off her child at her neighborhood, family run daycare called police after witnessing the father and co-owner of the daycare killing his wife and 7-year-old daughter and then heading upstairs and shooting himself. Hours later, police found a 78-year-old woman, who they believe is the man’s mother, stabbed to death in her home a short distance away.

A disturbing report is coming from the USS Abraham Lincoln, now in its 9 month of deployment in the Middle East. Family members are demanding answers and action from the U.S. military after hearing from their loved ones that either they have attempted to jump overboard or have stopped other service members from doing so in recent weeks. There are reports of deteriorating conditions, from lack of food and hygiene supplies, to no hot water aboard the aircraft carrier, but this biggest issue is the delayed and open ended deployment that was supposed to end back in May. The Navy has denied there is an increase in reported suicidal ideation and that while supply hubs have been disrupted by combat, sailors aboard the ship have plenty of supplies and mental health support. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The prosecution called six witnesses to the stand on Wednesday, but it was the final 2 medical examiners who went over 5-year-old Cora and 3-year-old Dawson’s autopsies that sent Clancy over the edge.

The third inmate to be executed on August 13th will be Jeremy Williams who was convicted of the 2021 rape and murder of 5-year-old Kamarie Holland. William’s lethal injection will be Alabama’s first execution of the year and it’s scheduled to take place at 6pm CT. The evidence against Williams is disturbing and irrefutable; he filmed the entire assault and ultimate death of this little girl and as hard as it is to believe, authorities say her own mother was complicit and is serving a 20 year sentence for human sex trafficking. Williams put up no defense and ordered his attorneys not to appeal, so his name was moved to the front of the execution line. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Oklahoma plans to execute its third inmate of the year, putting 70-year-old Carlos Cuesta-Rodriguez to death for the 2003 murder of his girlfriend, Olympic Fisher. Rodriguez first confronted Fisher and shot her in the right eye, she survived, but once police arrived, he shot a second bullet, hitting her in the left eye, killing her. Rodriguez doesn’t deny the crime and has expressed regret, telling the parole board that he understands it’s time “for me to pay for what I did.” See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Thursday, August 13th is set to become a historic day for inmates on death row. A total of three men will be put to death in three separate states for their crimes. First up, is Anthony Darrel Hines, who was convicted for the 1985 murder of Catherine Jean Jackson Jenkins, a hotel maid working just outside of Nashville. Hines raped and stabbed Jenkins and although he turned himself into police, he maintains his innocence. The Governor of Tennessee has already rejected Hines’ request for clemency, saying after thoroughly reviewing the case, he does not plan to intervene. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Department of Homeland Security is planning to spend up to $20 million to purchase a new tool for ICE agents: electric shock gloves. “G.L.O.V.E” stands for “generated low output voltage emitter” and they deliver painful electric shocks used to “gain compliance” from a suspect within three seconds. The pain is described as being similar to a bee sting and proponents hope it could prevent some of the recent shooting deaths we’ve seen between ICE agents and immigrants.  Those opposed question whether ICE agents can be trusted with these gloves, and could be a recipe for more harm to the public. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
It’s an unthinkable headline to wake up to, a husband and father calls 911 to report that he’s killed his entire family and when police arrive, all six people are dead, including the killer.  That’s what Kansas officials are dealing with this week after 53 year old Ronald Williams shot his four children, their mother and himself this week.  It comes on the heels of a Michigan father just last month killing his six kids and wife and setting his home on fire, and an Iowa father killing his six family members in June.  Criminologists have isolated many of the common traits these men share, including the fact they are often educated, successful and family oriented, but have suffered some recent financial or relationship difficulty.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Another full day of testimony continued on Tuesday in the Lindsay Clancy trial, but it began with a debate between the defense and prosecution over a potential defense witness. Clancy’s attorney wants to call a social worker to the stand who posted on TikTok about the hospital Lindsay admitted herself to in the weeks leading up to killing her three children. While the judge considers that request, jurors heard from two nurse practitioners who treated Clancy and maintained that while she talked of wanting to die, they did not believe she was suicidal and still do not believe she suffered from postpartum psychosis. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As news of Trump sneaking off Air Force One continues to make headlines, people are questioning the decision to leave unsuspecting journalists and White House staff members on a plane that had a credible enough threat to remove the President from it.  Air Force One essentially became a decoy aircraft to hide Trump’s actual ride, a nearby military jet.  Reaction online has been swift and harsh, many calling the President a coward, shameful and weak for hiding in a catering truck while Americans were potentially put in harms way. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Now, her newly acquired attorney took to social media to announce an investigation and pending litigation against Miss USA and you will hear his entire statement.

We are just learning about a secret operation that took place in front of the world: President Trump boarded Air Force One in Turkey last month, but immediately sneaked out the side entrance and onto a catering truck. That truck promptly whisked him away to a military jet, leaving the press corps and members of his staff thinking they were flying back with the President, unaware he was on an entirely different plane. This was all arranged amid Iranian threats to the President’s life, and given Turkey’s proximity to Iran, it was deemed the safest way back. We wonder how those journalists feel now that they know they were used as decoys.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
It was a jaw dropping cross examination that lasted for most the day on Tuesday. Lindsay Clancy’s defense attorney revealed the main psychiatrist treating Lindsay Clancy had only been practicing for one month while claiming to be an expert in postpartum issues. Dr. Jennifer Tufts had to admit that she completed most of her residency during COVID, and that she never once saw Clancy in person until that very day in the courtroom; all of their sessions were via zoom. The defense scored major points tearing apart Dr. Tufts assessment and treatment of Clancy, at one point saying Tufts’ choice of prescription drugs “pushed her over the edge.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The medical examiner’s office is conducting an autopsy, but as of this recording, police have not said whether they suspect foul play or suicide. Of note, a Jackson City Council member has asked the U.S. Attorney’s office for help investigating, as Fortune’s family is demanding answers and justice.

As we continue to follow the testimony in the “Killer Mom Trial” in Massachusetts,  it’s hard to understand how posts on TikTok alleging a wild conspiracy theory are getting so much traction.  Tiktokers are claiming Lindsay Clancy’s husband, Patrick, is the person responsible for the strangling deaths of his three young children and that HE pushed her out of the window, rather than her jumping out of the window to end her own life.  With the defense clearly acknowledging that Lindsay murdered her children, saying she’s not guilty by reason of insanity, we discuss HOW so many people could come to this bizarre conclusion.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A breaking development out of the Lindsay Clancy triple murder trial this morning: we heard directly from Lindsay Clancy who confirmed to the judge she was agreeing to much of the physical evidence the prosecution would be presenting in the case. It’s a highly unusual move in a murder case, but because Clancy already admits to strangling her three young children, this avoids unnecessary days of testimony proving chain of custody from witnesses who handled the blood samples and other DNA evidence linking Clancy to the killings. Bottom line, it’s not in dispute whether she killed her children, the question is, was she criminally responsible for the murders if she was suffering from postpartum psychosis.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We had just gotten back from lunch, in the middle of an afternoon work session, when we received a surprise phone call from our front doorman: Police were in the lobby and wanted to come up and conduct a “welfare check.” T.J. and I had very different reactions, but both of them involved confusion and a healthy dose of fear. We’ll explain what the call was about, how it scarily mimicked a horror movie we were watching the previous day, and why we still aren’t sure if we were targeted or misidentified.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
We continue our Sunday series, bringing you conversations with faith, leadership and spiritual voices who can offer perspective, inspiration and hope for the week ahead.

In a stunning reversal, the DOJ admitted on Friday evening that a rush complete the reflecting pool, and botched work is to blame for the peeling liner in the National Mall’s reflecting pool, NOT a three time U.S. Olympic canoeist. In fact, in its filing, the U.S. Attorney’s office claims it didn’t have all the information from the Department of the Interior before presenting a grand jury with evidence that the damage to the reflecting pool was caused by vandals. So far, there’s been no official comment from the White House.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos released two ransom notes from the person authorities believe kidnapped 83-year-old Nancy Guthrie six months ago. The sheriff released them hoping to keep interest alive in the story and hoping that someone may recognize the distinctive patterns of word choice and phraseology. The two notes are chilling, the first one demanding millions of dollars “or she will be killed,” the second one acknowledging that she died shortly after being abducted. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Today marks exactly 6 months since Nancy Guthrie was last seen alive, after her son-in-law dropped her off at her Tucson home on January 31st.  This, as Sheriff Nanos revealed the hair sample found in Nancy’s home, turned up no identifiable leads. There is just one piece of forensic DNA left to test and Nanos acknowledged technology might not be in place to sort out the mixed DNA in the sample.  Meantime, the man arrested and detained for several hours during the early days of the investigation, is now suing Pima County along with two family members, demanding a total of $3.25 million dollars for their ordeal.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It’s been a shocking and disturbing Senate committee hearing on Capitol Hill today with Senator and fellow Doctor Rand Paul leading the charge against Dr. Anthony Fauci. Before testifying, Fauci acknowledged what he called Paul’s “unhinged obsession“ with him and said because of Paul’s repeated public pledges to put Fauci behind bars, he had to invoke the Fifth Amendment. As Senators hurled insults and accusations at Fauci, at one point, Paul threw Fauci’s attorney out of the hearing, repeatedly telling him to stop talking.

It was an extraordinary day on Florida’s death row, two inmates executed in one day, and one of them was 80-years-old. A massive debate is underway on whether or not our country should be executing elderly inmates. Florida has set three separate records this summer, executing the oldest inmates in that state’s history. The Supreme Court set an age limit on how young a criminal can be before facing a death sentence, should a similar limit be in place for older inmates, allowing them to essentially age out of the death penalty?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

TikTok is going crazy over a voice memo posted to the social media site, purportedly sent from a man ahead of a planned second date with a woman he just met. T.J. questions the validity of the voice memo, but regardless of its validity, it’s sparked an interesting debate online. While having someone disclose their sexual intentions in advance is generally regarded as a good thing, it was presented as an ultimatum rather than a conversation, and that’s been the big issue.

The President spent roughly an hour on the dais, finally giving that much anticipated speech to the very group he spars with daily, the members of the White House correspondents association. Even though he said last night’s speech wasn’t as much of a “doozy” as his original speech he planned to give back in April, he still delivered cutting, offensive remarks aimed at some of his familiar foes. The president went after at least one member of this cabinet and made a few, rare self deprecating jokes that landed. But the tension in the room was real, with many of his biting, insensitive comments putting members of the audience in an awkward position. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The man who has been entrusted with rolling the teleprompter for President Trump’s speeches for the past decade, is now on paid administrative leave, as authorities investigate several bets he made on prediction markets. Gabriel Perez is accused of making bets on specific words showing up in the President’s speeches, winning as much as $100,000 from Kalshi.

The U.S. Navy Blue Angels stunned a Pensacola Beach crowd with a lower than expected pass that sent beach umbrellas and tents flying, but gave beachgoers a show they won’t soon forget. The extra low flyover initially triggered a safety review, but Pete Hegseth, Eric Trump and the White House all chimed in, calling any outrage, manufactured, saying the flyovers would continue “until morale improves.” Moments before this recording, the navy announced there were “no reprimands” and “no problem” with the maneuver. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Rabid fans have overreacted to what they deem as ‘bad behavior’ by Love Islander Zach Georgiou, effectively shutting down his TikTok account for part of the day on Tuesday. A group of fans banded together to falsely “report” Zach’s account, which spurred Season 8 winner, Trinity,  to publicly defend him, telling her followers to stop the hate and ignorant comments.

The Washington Post is reporting that two sources have confirmed Federal and Michigan state officials are looking into whether Taco Bell restaurants played a role in the current Cyclospora outbreak that has now sickened as many as 7 thousand people across 34 states.  The epicenter of the outbreak is in Michigan, responsible for nearly half of the reported cases. In the Detroit area Taco Bell restaurants, signs are posted saying certain items are unavailable due to “a national recall.” While some have praised the restaurant for being proactive and voluntarily stopped serving lettuce, onions, cilantro, pico de gallo and guacamole, it’s paying the price, literally, with stocks plummeting nearly 5% in just one day.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We go in-depth into the latest information surrounding the mysterious death of a black college football player who went to an island off the coast of Mississippi to party with his white friends, and never came home. 18-year-old Nolan Wells’ body was found 2 days later in the waters near Horn Island, and while there is no suggestion of race being an issue in his death, it’s necessary to understand why his parents might not trust Mississippi authorities leading this investigation. The local sheriff immediately announced there was no foul play suspected and suggested it was an accidental drowning…. And while that may all be true, it’s important to recognize the suspicious events surrounding Nolan’s death and the notorious racial history of Mississippi. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Tonight, 74-year-old Dennis Sochor is set to die by lethal injection for the 1982 rape and murder of an 18-year-old girl he met on New Year’s Eve. Even though Sochor confessed to the crime, he never revealed where he left her body. To date, Patty Gifford’s body has never been found and the family has been tortured by that fact, in addition to waiting 44 years for Sochor’s execution. Still, there are many who believe it is cruel and unusual to execute elderly inmates, and this is just the second in a series of three executions in Florida that are setting records, each inmate older than the next. At the end of this month, Florida plans to execute an 80-year-old convicted murderer.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A frightening story and a cautionary tale for air travelers, after a 61-year-old man on a flight from Greece to Germany was partially sucked out of an airplane window. His wife and fellow passengers held onto his legs, and eventually pulled him back inside the plane. He is now recovering in the hospital with head and neck injuries and friction burns. Witness accounts from inside the cabin are harrowing and many believe the man is alive today because he was wearing his seatbelt when the window dislodged from the plane. This isn’t the first time an incident like this occurred, back in 2018, a woman was killed in eerily similar circumstances, on the same type of plane, a Boeing 737, headed from New York to Dallas.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The sixth film in the notoriously dark and gory franchise is the most intense, grisly and gory one yet. We weren’t sure the movie could live up to all the hype, but it certainly did, and even surpassed our expectations. However, speaking of expectations, the film has not lived up to what producers were hoping, falling far short in its opening weekend. Perhaps, it’s just too scary, too violent and too much for most movie-goers… don’t judge us for highly recommending this flick to people with iron stomachs.    See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As we learn more about the latest Iranian assassination threats against President Trump’s life, Trump himself laid out what amounts to a “dead man’s switch” on his social media. Trump claims he’s given orders to the U.S. military to destroy Iran at levels they’ve never seen before in case he is assassinated. The President even told reporters this week in Turkey that perhaps his luck in staying alive won’t last much longer. However, the 25th amendment makes it very clear, what would happen if Trump were, in fact, assassinated: only Vice President J.D. Vance would have authority to make decisions about retaliation.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Well, the FBI wants to make sure you are up to speed on several online groups in this country actively targeting and recruiting your young kids to commit acts of violence towards others and themselves.

An unbelievable story out of Arizona, after an emergency room doctor pronounced 1-year-old Vincent Fiordilino dead after he fell into the family pool and was underwater for more than 5 minutes. Police body cam footage shows nurses, the family and even officers question whether the boy was actually dead after they saw breathing and a faint pulse. Police say the doctor “arrogantly” insisted the toddler was deceased, and it wasn’t until more than 5 hours later that a transporter from the medical examiner’s office found the toddler alive in the morgue. As the family prepares to sue the doctor and the hospital, prosecutors are considering filing felony child abuse charges against the parents, who were apparently smoking marijuana when the toddler fell in the pool.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Graham Platner posted an 11 minute video to X last night, stating clearly that is wasn’t the “false” rape allegations that forced him out, but instead, it was because of the Democratic Party itself.

The term “stealthing” is making headlines after Maine Democrat and Senatorial Candidate Graham Platner has been accused by an ex-girlfriend of repeatedly removing condoms without her consent during sex. We did a deep dive on the subject and were fascinated and frustrated by the lack of recognition from lawmakers in this country about NCCR: Nonconsensual condom removal. Several countries around the world have strict, criminal code on stealthing, categorizing it as a “rape adjacent” crime.

The act is known as “stealthing” and is considered a crime in multiple countries and states here in the U.S. and is classified as a form of sexual assault.  Platner’s camp is vehemently denying the latest accusations, in addition to a former girlfriend’s claims that he raped her while they were dating, saying they are all politically motivated.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We were all so hopeful that finally Prince Harry, Meghan and grandchildren Archie and Lilibet might have a royal reunion with King Charles and family at Buckingham Palace this week. Harry’s camp made the announcement that an invitation had been extended, but shortly afterward, the Palace announced that the Duke of Sussex didn’t respond in time to make the necessary staffing accommodations. Harry’s spokesperson suggested it may be the court decision regarding Harry’s lawsuit against the Daily Mail’s publisher that may be the real reason behind the Palace’s about face, not wanting King Charles in an uncomfortable position. Harry arrived solo in London on Monday, and right now, it’s unclear whether Meghan and the kids will join him later in the week outside of London, given security concerns and the government’s unwillingness to provide taxpayer funded security to the Sussexes.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It was a devastating, and yes, embarrassing loss for the U.S. Men last night as they faced off against Belgium in the round of 16 at the World Cup. We were the talk of the world for all the wrong reasons for most of the day and certainly in the hours leading up to the match. Many are now pointing to the added pressure from Trump, who placed a call to the FIFA president , which ultimately led to our star striker being allowed to play despite receiving a red card in the previous game. While having Flo Balogun on the field seemed like an advantage, turns out it wasn’t, and perhaps even shifted the team’s energy knowing the world was outraged by it.

Platner cancelled multiple public events over the weekend and announced that he is taking time to reflect on the best path forward, while maintaining his innocence.

In response, Belgium’s football federation put out a pointed critique of how FIFA has mishandled the process.  We’ve also heard from the FIFA president, downplaying President Trump’s call to him asking for a review of the red card, and demanding respect for the committee’s decision to allow Balogun on the field tonight.

It was all going so well. Perhaps the most entertaining, heart warming and fun episode culminated with a stunner of an ending. We thought we knew who was going home after America voted for their most compatible couple… but the karaoke challenge created an unexpected outcome.

That left a difficult choice for the islanders who ultimately sent home the couple who was quickly becoming our absolute favorite….

President Trump was questioned at the Oval Office about the major controversy swirling around tonight’s World Cup matchup between the United States and Belgium.

Trump added that he knows sports, although he also admitted he didn’t know what a red card was, but claims that he didn’t think what occurred was a foul, but instead was just “two guys running full speed that happened to crash into each other.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The hearing, which will resemble a mini-trial, will be live-streamed and will mark the first time Charlie Kirk’s widow Erica and his parents will be face-to-face with Robinson.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The biggest controversy so far in the World Cup has President Trump’s name all over it and the irony isn’t lost on anyone. After Trump put a call into the FIFA president to review a red card given to US star Folarin Balogun, FIFA reversed the decision allowing Balogun to play tonight against Belgium.  It’s a move FIFA has not made since 1962 and it’s a for a player who is only considered an American, because of the very right President Trump has been trying to take away: birthright citizenship.  Belgium officials have officially appealed FIFA’s reversal, but with just hours to go until the match, it seems likely Balogun will, in fact, be on the field tonight for the United States.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Headlines have been popping up since Friday that Trump may consider adding Sean Diddy Combs to his pardon list in honor of our nation’s 250th anniversary. Trump reportedly wants to pardon 250 people for our 250th celebrations. On Friday, Trump pardoned 11 people, most of whom were convicted on emissions violations of the Clean Air Act, but the question remains will he pardon more in the coming days. Diddy’s release date has already been moved up at third time, to February of 2028, but he also has a pending appeal that could either vacate his conviction or drastically reduce his sentencing. That appeals court decision could come at any time, with one of the judges acknowledging it is “an exceptionally difficult case.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Women are posting their “divorce glow ups” online and it’s become quite the viral trend. You see their before and after photos with captions like “me as a wife” and then swipe to see “me as an ex-wife” and the transformations are significant. Women look fitter, sexier and yes, happier post divorce, but the experts say it’s not cosmetic surgeries or injections, it’s physiological. We obviously know a thing or two about divorce, and talk about how it’s a good thing to lessen the stigma around it, but warn there are some clear dangers in glamorizing the experience.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
It was an eventful 250th celebration of our country on Saturday. Unfortunately a mass shooting broke out on Coney Island after the fireworks display, leaving 4 children and 4 adults shot, one woman remains in critical condition this morning. Just a few miles away, the iconic Brooklyn Bridge caught fire during the massive fireworks display over the East River, firefighters were able to put out the flames fairly quickly, but it was an alarming scene in the middle of the show. And over in Washington D.C., the main event, Trump’s rally speech was delayed until 11pm after severe storms threatened the area, forcing an evacuation of the huge crowd that had gathered on the mall, with organizers asking thousands to seek shelter.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Once again, the islanders are prompting non-stop conversations in our house, and after last night’s episode, a big topic was girl code. When Amora threw Jen under the bus, telling Gal that Jen was trash talking him in the dressing room, the girls on our couch were outraged about her major girl code violation. We can talk sh*t about each other to each other, but you do not go outside your gender, especially to sabotage a relationship for your own benefit. The question became, what is bro code and how is it different from girl code. We’ve all heard bros before hos, but what does that exactly mean?  T.J. explains. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
After watching last night’s episode, we had a full discussion of why women would benefit from a heterosexual man in their friend group, and Corbin proved why. We talk about how women validate each other’s feelings and that might not always be helpful when you’re dealing with a toxic relationship like Melanie and Sincere’s. T.J. goes over what he would tell Melanie and why Corbin has suddenly emerged as the voice of reason in the villa. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
And then there were 14. Seven couples remain in the villa now, and frankly it was a relief to see who was ultimately voted out and the process was entertaining as hell. First, Jen was left without a partner because Gal chose Amora. But how that all went down didn’t sit well with Jen or us, and to see Gal and Amora voted off an hour later was sweet revenge. Poor Caleb, but he had his shot and it just (obviously) wasn’t working with Jaiden, who hilariously began to act like they just hit a “bump” in the road (to nowhere). We go over who we think is the most compatible in the villa and we even surprised ourselves who we landed on…. It’s probably going to surprise you too. No, it’s not Trinity and Bryce. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sooooo many lessons learned after the islanders were forced to watch some of their bad behavior displayed for the world to see. It was painful to watch, sure, but that discomfort led to some epiphanies for several cast members, most notably K.C. The conversation prompted by Aniya’s apology to him after movie night was over, was actually a beautiful moment to watch. K.C. is back and Aniya confirmed to all of us, why we like her so much. We also discuss the tough aftermath for both Sincere and Kenzie, and while our hearts go out to Melanie, we have different feelings towards Dylan. Also, we go over who is surprisingly, becoming one of our favorite islanders, and who we think will be kicked out of the villa after tonight’s recoupling.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
We are learning more about the couple who seemingly got engaged on the needle of the Empire State Building this week in New York City. Authorities have charged Angela Nikolau and Ivan Beerkus with multiple felonies, including reckless endangerment and burglary after learning they spent the night in the iconic tower and brought tools with them to break locks to gain access to the needle. The two left court hand in hand, smiling, and gave another photo op for the cameras, kissing in front of a NYC subway station. But perhaps the most interesting twist to the story that captivated the Big Apple, Ivan’s own father now telling the media this was all a publicity stunt and that the two are already married.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Hours before the July 2nd deadline imposed by a federal judge, the Department of Justice asked the judge for 60 more days OR accept its reasoning why it would not produce unredacted versions of several documents.

67-year-old David Hearn, who represented the United States in three Olympics as a canoeist, is now fighting for his freedom. U.S. Attorney for D.C. Jeanine Pirro announced the felony charge against Hearn after she says he “violently” and “maliciously” destroyed 2 square feet of reflecting pool liner.  Hearn has admitted to touching the liner out of curiosity, but denies removing or damaging it.

Attorneys and the family of 1-year-old Kohen Wiley say a preliminary autopsy contradicts the police version of events that led to Kohen’s death. Officers claim Kohen’s mom and her friend were driving their vehicle towards police as they were trying to flee a Walmart after reportedly stealing a box of diapers. However, the independent autopsy suggests the bullet that struck little Kohen came from the passenger side window, not the front windshield. The question, why would an officer shoot into the vehicle from the side, if he maintains the car was about to run him over? And why won’t police release the bodycam footage from the officer?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Starting tonight, the festivities begin for the biggest wedding in recent American history… or so we’re told. While there has been no official confirmation from either the Grammy winning pop star or her Super Bowl winning groom, every single news organization in the country has been camped outside the world’s most famous arena trying to put all the pieces of this matrimonial puzzle together.

Ohio officials revealed the latest chilling details on the 16 children discovered in a rural Ohio house this week, saying if they had been found 24 hours later, “there was a very high probability that we’d be dealing with a death or multiple deaths of these children.” Police on the scene said some of the kids, who range from 18 months to 18-years-old, couldn’t speak or communicate, saying they looked like feral animals. There are so many questions surrounding the four adults living in the home, now charged with 16 counts of child endangerment, facing life in prison for this unthinkable abuse. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Following a report by Reuters this week that NONE of the Nancy Guthrie ransom notes are legitimate, the FBI has released a statement attempting to clarify what they believe is real and what isn’t.

It was a remarkable spectacle here in New York City this afternoon! A well known daredevil duo scaled the needle of the Empire State Building from the Observation Deck to first unfurl a banner about love…. And then, he put a ring on it. 32-year-old Ivan Beerkus proposed to his girlfriend 33-year-old Angela Nikolau as police and news helicopters surrounded the couple celebrating 1454 feet above Manhattan.

It was an emotionally charged day and night at the Villa. Episode 25 begins with Dylan inexplicably incapable of controlling his emotions after learning Kenzie kissed Gal. It’s been less than a week and he’s crying?

A truly heartbreaking story out of Plantation Florida. A dad goes to pick his toddler son up from daycare only to realize he never dropped him off that morning.

Casa Amor bombshell Alannah Keyser issued an on-camera apology after being kicked out of the villa for a newly resurfaced video showing her singing the N word. Her apology is actually a lesson in how not to apologize. Keyser used the old “it was never my intention” and “if you were offended” lines coupled with a vague denial of screen shots showing her using the n-word. Her video left us with more questions than answers, and did not explain her actions in the villa on day one, when she skipped over kissing all the black men at Casa Amor.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
What started off as a cute story line, the budding bromance between Zach and Bryce, has now become downright confusing. Each episode, the two get more and more physical with one another, even simulating sex. Zach has dry humped Bryce on more than one occasion,  Bryce has shown Zach his penis; they’ve shared lounge chairs and even held hands at one point.  In the most recent episode, Zach threw a cake in Trintiy’s face for being jealous of his and Bryce’s cozy relationship. Is this just how a younger generation of heterosexual men behave these days, or is something else going on between the two? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
What a gutting way to open the episode, showing Aniya on the ground sobbing over KC, Melanie by her side, while the Casa Amor ladies laugh and scoff at Aniya’s emotional reaction. Thankfully, and surprisingly, throughout the episode we see the Villa girls and the Casa Amor girls actually put aside their differences and apologize for bad behavior. But things got sticky literally and figuratively during the cake challenge, with Megan Thee Stallion hosting the game looking fierce, and speaking truth to the boys!

A new dating trend is taking over TikTok and before you roll your eyes, dating experts say it’s actually a cry for help. This idea that women will only accept the physically perfect man: six feet, six figures, six pack and six inches, is pure fantasy. And it’s not fantasy versus reality, it’s fantasy versus intimacy and that equals loneliness. It may even be considered a form of self sabotage that feels safe because there’s no one who could meet those requirements. However, dating experts say there are real questions we should all be asking of potential partners, and it has nothing to do with the four sixes.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

So many people are skeptical of the love story that brought us to tears last night: watching Bryce and Trinity reuniting after pining away for one another in Casa Amor. Come on, how could they each fake those tearful confessionals apart? How could they know what the other was feeling or thinking, and when would they have had a private space to come up with a plan?

20 minutes into last night’s Love Island episode, the narrator made a brief announcement saying only that Alanna had left Casa Amor. And that was it, no explanation. Fans of the show have been demanding her removal following video that surfaced of 21-year-old Alannah Keyser singing the “n-word” to camera, along with several concerning posts where she also uses the racial slur. Meantime, the other big headline from episode 20: We all just fell a little more in love with Bryce and Trinity. Can they just go ahead and claim their prize? They have emerged as the couple to beat, especially  after a photo card was delivered to each villa showing the boys and the girls behaving questionably with the bombshells.

Also, several cryptic social media posts made by Moore in the months and weeks leading up to her death suggest she was suffering a painful heartbreak, although police have said Moore’s husband, who reported her missing, is not a person of interest in her death. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Just when it didn’t seem possible that Love Island producers could sexualize the Islanders any more, they introduced another challenge that quickly divulged into a barely clothed orgy on national television. One contestant even apologized to her parents afterwards…. We’re really hoping for their sakes, they fast forwarded through the segment. Looking beyond the growing ick factor of the show, there were some incredibly interesting developments in several relationships, with a couple of the boys continuing to pine away for their girls back home. And then there’s Corbin and Kenzie, who seem very satisfied in their new couples, with poor Caleb, who once again finds himself in a love triangle with Corbin. Who will recouple with someone new, and who will stay in their original couple? We make our predictions. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It’s become an unexpected sensation during the World Cup: Ranch dressing! Apparently, foreign travelers can’t get enough of the all-American condiment and are trying to bring some home with them in their carry on luggage.

So far, not a word from Peacock about the fate of bombshell Alannah Keyser, who many fans are demanding be dumped from the show after video surfaced of her singing the N-word on social media.  While she seems pleasantly coupled up with Zach, the ladies have narrowed down their Casa Amor newbies from 12 to 6, but it remains unclear if any love connections are actually forming at the Villa.  Meantime, the men are split, with half of them fully exploring and seemingly enjoying their new women.

Just when the Islanders least expect it, ‘Love Island’ producers threw in the Casa Amor twist into the villa. And while it’s always fun to see how the couples handle the temptations of a new full set of potential islanders, this was the most sexual, grotesque introduction of contestants we have ever witnessed in the franchise. Add the disgusting reaction by most of the men to the accompanying reaction from the women who were watching it all unfold live from the villa, and you have a completely changed competition with all of the couples seemingly upended.

In the unverified video, it appears 21- year-old Alannah Keyser sings the N-word while dancing inside a car during a night out in Miami.  Even before the video was released, fans of the show were commenting that Keyser made out with all of the white islanders, but refused to kiss the three black men, even telling K.C. at one point, “That’s all you get. Hand off, boy.” There are also screen shots popping up online reportedly of a Keyser TikTok comment from nearly 2 years ago where she uses a racial slur for the word “Nigerian” See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
