Speaker 2 (00:30):
Hard to believe.

Speaker 3 (00:31):
I remember thinking back in the summer, Wow, we're halfway through,
and I couldn't even imagine the end of the year
coming so quickly, but it did.

Speaker 2 (00:38):
And now it's pretty much shown now.

Speaker 1 (00:40):
All the way through, all the way through at this
green though.

Speaker 2 (00:44):
Twenty twenty six. My goodness, it is.

Speaker 1 (00:48):

Speaker 4 (01:31):
Uh?

Speaker 3 (01:31):
Georgia mom is defending her son. I don't know if
you saw this video on social media for basically body
slamming or throwing a girl across the room.

Speaker 2 (01:41):
Now she sang.

Speaker 3 (01:43):
That the girl started it, and when you look at
the video, now the girl actually just showed a portion
of the video where the guy snatches her up and literally,
because he's a big guy, picks her up and throws
her across the room. The longer video shows the girl
slapping him like to or three times and he's trying
to ignore her, and then I guess he finds me

(02:04):
Like on the third slap, he just kind of loses it,
jumps and throws her across the room. So, you know,
social media is divided as to who was right and
who's wrong. But the mom is like, I'm standing by
my son. She should have kept her hands to herself.
She should have kept three times, and you know, he
don't know why a third one, but.

Speaker 1 (02:22):
You should have hit her. But I'm just telling you,
you don't know how everybody's raised. And apparently you don't
know how everybody's raising.

Speaker 5 (02:29):
You know.

Speaker 1 (02:29):
Some of them is like somebody big enough to hit you,
big enough to get hit back.

Speaker 2 (02:32):
Some people like, I mean, I do think the golden rule?
Could you hansy yourself?

Speaker 3 (02:38):
And I do not condone violence, of course of any nature,
and certainly not a man putting his hands or a
young man putting his hands on a woman ever. But
keep your hands to yourself, keep your hands to yourself.

Speaker 1 (02:51):
You don't know what nothing like a recalibrate the senses.

Speaker 3 (02:56):
And speaking of recalibrating the senses, Jason Derulo said, listen, no.

Speaker 2 (02:59):
More from me. That's it.

Speaker 3 (03:00):
He's finally speaking out about those charges, those sexual assault
charges that he was accused of, that he was you know,
eventually the charges were dropped. We're not charges that the
case was dismissed twice, and.

Speaker 2 (03:12):
He says, I'm never working with women again.

Speaker 3 (03:14):
Ever, he was like, it's just you know, the truth,
you know, is that a woman being in the room
with you by yourself, she can say anything. He was like,
you know, I'll work with one as long as there's
someone else in there. He's like, but never again. He
was like, I lost millions of dollars all because this
chick decided to say.

Speaker 2 (03:30):
That I did something that I didn't do.

Speaker 3 (03:32):
And I think she even went as far as to
say that he sacrificed a goat for some kind of
sexual something or another.

Speaker 2 (03:38):
He's like, he said, I lost brand deals.

Speaker 3 (03:40):
I lost millions of dollars all over a lie.

Speaker 2 (03:44):
Never working with man, never work anyway.

Speaker 3 (03:49):
Finally training, I do want to say, I know you
are familiar with this guy. I don't know if everybody
else is, but pretty big guy a comic Andy Dick.

this week? It was very hard to watch. I've never
seen anybody od quit like that, but uh he did.

Speaker 1 (04:06):

Speaker 3 (04:08):
Never really like you know, dramatically, like you know, law
and order kind of style. Wou never like for real,
for real, like this dude is really oding it is
pretty it's pretty bad. But he basically allowed cameras into
his home and he was like, I'm not going to rehab.

Speaker 2 (04:24):
I'm fine, I don't need help.

Speaker 1 (04:25):
He's like, yeah, wow, is so.

Speaker 3 (05:21):
So this is starting to spread across the world. Actually,
Denmark is planning to follow Australia's lead and severely restrict
social media access for anyone under the age of fifteen. Now,
the measure would be the most sweeping yet by a
European Union nation to limit the use of social media
amongst teens and children. The Danish government's plans to become

(05:44):
a law as soon as.

Speaker 2 (05:45):
You know early twenty twenty six.

Speaker 6 (05:47):
Now.

Speaker 3 (05:47):
Malaysia is also following suit along with Norway, saying that
we want to deny access to anyone who's under the
age of fifteen.

Speaker 1 (05:54):
I can't blame them.

Speaker 2 (05:56):
I can't blame them either.

Speaker 3 (05:57):
Yeah, with everything that you can see in some of
these kids are not ready emotionally or psychologically to know
what they're watching.

Speaker 2 (06:04):
Absolutely.

Speaker 1 (06:05):
Yeah, We've had some great callers this week and if
you miss them, do not worry. It is what it happens.
On was Friday, those calls will be. It's a deal,
hugely show. Now Monday would have happened. Was a woman
asking for her baby, asked her baby daddy for money
to buy their kids some clothes. A man about the
clothes instead of giving the mother the money, and she
got mad. Take a listen, what a.

Speaker 5 (06:25):
Money ain't Chris?

Speaker 6 (06:26):
When they got the clothes, you said, my son needed
I say give me the money and I go get
what you mean. No, that's not how I work. You
said my Sunday clothes, so I bought my slant clothes.
I'm not giving you no cash to spend on whatever
you're gonna spend it on. I bought my slant clothes.

Speaker 2 (06:39):
Are you serious right now?

Speaker 6 (06:40):
I'm dead serious. But I want to got my son
and stuff that you needed for school, and he go
to clothes where.

Speaker 1 (06:44):
He's gonna take it tonight.

Speaker 5 (06:45):
Just give me the receipt.

Speaker 7 (06:46):
I take it back myself.

Speaker 6 (06:47):
Give you no receipt so you can take my slim
stuff back and spending stuff on what you want to spend.

Speaker 5 (06:51):
I need something myself if he gonna get some stuff.

Speaker 2 (06:53):
What you mean.

Speaker 6 (06:54):
I'm here to take care of my son. I'm not
here to take care of you. My job is to
take care of him.

Speaker 4 (06:58):
I call you and tell you I need money to
give him some clothes.

Speaker 6 (07:01):
You bring me a bag of you just say you
needed clothes. I want to go get what he needed.
I'm not giving you no money so you're gonna spend
it on you and your you'll do. You got a
whole man at the house which want to.

Speaker 1 (07:09):
Bring it doesn't matter.

Speaker 8 (07:10):
It doesn't matter.

Speaker 6 (07:12):
I did that before for you, before he spent all.

Speaker 2 (07:14):
The cast continue to do it.

Speaker 6 (07:16):
No, I'm not taking care of you. You're not my woman.

Speaker 4 (07:19):
My son.

Speaker 6 (07:25):
Put that on him to go to school and call
when he needs something else.

Speaker 4 (07:28):
I'm not.

Speaker 5 (07:28):
I'm not.

Speaker 4 (07:28):
Don't worry about it.

Speaker 8 (07:30):
I don't know what you will be.

Speaker 2 (07:32):
You will by a court.

Speaker 6 (07:34):
You want to be my child support, and I take
care of my son.

Speaker 1 (07:38):
Who was wrong? The man o the woman? He did
He gave me what you asked for the specific he
was uh, but nevertheless you said this.

Speaker 4 (07:47):
I think these youngins need to read think their decisions
with these babies, because if a baby father is going to.

Speaker 5 (07:55):
Buy the gifts the children, the child the clothes, then
buy the child the clothes, she should be appreciative that
they're doing it, because some men just won't do none
of it, give her money or anything. I'm just blessed
I had a baby daddy that did everything. These young
females are just I don't know. I just don't know
who raised them.

Speaker 9 (08:15):
That's how I feel.

Speaker 7 (08:17):
Hey, she's trying to run a scam. He did the
right thing. Those women with games want to use the
money other thing else out to be ashamed of themselves
and make the rest of them look trifling.

Speaker 5 (08:28):
Well, I just feel like that.

Speaker 2 (08:30):
The mother in the situation is correct.

Speaker 4 (08:32):
I don't think men know how to shop for kids.

Speaker 2 (08:34):
I'm sorry.

Speaker 4 (08:37):
She should died to be shopping for these kids at all,
even though that's what she was saying she was gonna
do with the money. And maybe he don't trust her
to do what she says she gonna do with the money.
I think that's besides the point. I think it's just
the fact that a man just really dope. I mean,
I have a safe issue with my husband.

Speaker 2 (08:53):
We don't have issues about money.

Speaker 4 (08:55):
But he really don't know what he's doing when it comes.

Speaker 2 (08:57):
To shopping for these kids.

Speaker 4 (08:59):
Like and I have girls too, so maybe he don't
know what he's doing. I'm sorry he might not trust
him with the money, but I think it's better for
her to do.

Speaker 2 (09:07):
The shopping for the kids.

Speaker 8 (09:09):
Like if the kids need.

Speaker 4 (09:10):
Clothes, that need to be mommy job. Mommy is probably
better at that than daddy is, because I mean, how
many times have I let my husband shop with my
daughters and they come back with something that is not right?

Speaker 2 (09:22):
I don't know I don't.

Speaker 4 (09:23):
Understand why this is an issue for that are co
PARENTI relationship, But mommy needs to do the shopping for kids.

Speaker 7 (09:31):
How many levels is she wrong? Let's unpack it real quick.
It gives her everything she asks for. She has a
problem with it. It's obvious that she's on the tape
and I think of eighty percent. You know, I'm just
paraphrasing on the percentage. A lot of these women do
the same thing because for a long time, men didn't
have a voice on what happened with the child. It

(09:53):
just was her word and that's how it went.

Speaker 8 (09:56):
I just wanted to say to the father who steps
up and at exactly what he needed to do for
his child. He purchased the clothes that she requested, and
she's still not satisfied. I don't understand some of these women.
They could get a no good man that does absolutely
nothing for them or the children, and then they'll be

(10:16):
happy with that. But when you get someone who's trying
to do the right thing and he want to seeven
Q's doing exactly what he what she wanted him to do,
and he's still not satisfied. So what more does she
want him to do? I don't understand some of these women.
I really don't.

Speaker 9 (10:30):
I most definitely have to agree with d L. There's
no way you're asking for clothes. I'm giving you clothes
and you say no, Come on, what we got going
on here? Why do you what else you're gonna do
with that money? Because clearly is not closed. Because you
have those I agree with you.

Speaker 1 (10:48):
More of this week's best calls. Those calls show.

Speaker 3 (10:52):
More fun is on the way on the DL.

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.
