Speaker 1 (00:19):
Hey, that folks.

Speaker 2 (00:20):
JNS and Amy Robot here of I g R two
and we wanted to wish you all a very merry Christmas.
And I had the question as we were going to
hopefully help people through this holiday as a single person,
is there a singles table at Christmas or just a
kids table?

Speaker 3 (00:34):
I think sometimes there's both, And well, if there isn't
a singles table, if everyone else is bowed up or
coupled up, you certainly feel singled out.

Speaker 2 (00:43):
But then you get stuck at the kids table sometimes don't.

Speaker 3 (00:45):
Yeah that's the worst.

Speaker 2 (00:46):
So good. But folks, whatever you may be doing, single
or not, enjoy your holiday. Remember the value you have
in you and it's not tied up. And whether or
not you got a boot next to you or not,
that's right.

Speaker 3 (00:59):
Your relationship you could focus on. I would say this
holiday season is with yourself. Give yourself a break, take
a hot bath, go bit binge that Netflix series that
you've been wanting to watch that you know if you
did give boot up, the other person wouldn't want to watch.
There's a lot of things you can take advantage of
when you're single, and just keep that positive attitude. If

(01:19):
you want to have a relationship. If you're looking for
that next relationship, know that twenty twenty six maybe your years.
So during this holiday season, relax, chill, go, fall in
love with yourself.

Speaker 2 (01:33):
And you know what, if that doesn't work, just look
at some of the couples in your family. You don't
want to be in those relationships either.

Speaker 3 (01:41):
Wow, that might be the best advice. Yet, when you
see what other people are dealing with, sometimes the loneliest
place to be is in a bad relationship. So just
remember if you are like us, many of us do
not get love right the first time, So please, please please,
If you do have some extra time, you can also
check out all of our episode it's from the past
year here on I Do Part two, where we talk

(02:02):
to folks who are in the middle of their next relationship,
looking for love or hoping for better times. You will
not feel alone when you are with us and I
Do Part two.

Speaker 1 (02:14):
It's your favorite mentor Kelly, Calaura and Ben Simone and
I hope you have the best holiday season. I miss you,
can't wait to see you in twenty twenty six.

Speaker 4 (02:23):
And this is Cheryl Burke and I just wanted to
take a moment to wish everybody a merry Christmas and
wishing everyone peace, warmth, and just moments that truly feel
like home this holiday season. Whether you're alone or with family,
just have time for yourself. You know, this is a
time to slow down and be present. So love you guys.

The Burden

The Burden

The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
