Speaker 1 (00:00):
So Tuesday, what it happened wasn't mother is a Suian
neighbor because her teenagers stole a food delivery from the neighbor,
ate it and nearly died. Here's a bit of the story.

Speaker 2 (00:09):
A seven year old grabbed a neighbor's delivery, ate it
and ended up in the er. His mother sued for
one million dollars. Eighty year old Umi lives alone and
relies on takeout. That noon, his order vanished from the hallway.
Minutes later. Pounding at the door, the neighbor accused Yumi
of poisoning her son. Yumi was stunt her boy had

(00:30):
stolen the food. Now she was blaming him. Police came.
Cameras show the child taking the sealed bag from outside
Yumi's door and eating it in the stairwell. The label
listed allergens. Peanut butter was a main ingredient. The boy,
who has a serious allergy, vomited and was rushed to
the hospital. The mother argues Umi left a dangerous item

(00:51):
in a corridor, creating a hazard for children. Online, some
say Yumi shouldn't leave food in shared space. Others say
responsibility follows the eater, not the owner. Analysts note two lines,
a parent's duty to prevent miners from eating unknown food
and a residence limited duty after receiving a sealed meal.
If labels and seals met standards, a million dollar claim

(01:13):
will be hard to sustain. Umi says his only intention
was to eat his lunch, not harm any one.

Speaker 1 (01:20):
Now, is the neighbor corporable or is it her own
son's fault? That's the question we posed to. You had
a lot to say.

Speaker 3 (01:27):
You said the child and the parent were it's fault.
This man was simply waiting on his food.

Speaker 4 (01:33):
He's waiting in lunch, not knowing that a child had
stolen his lunch.

Speaker 3 (01:38):
And why doesn't the child be watched?

Speaker 4 (01:40):
The child should be.

Speaker 5 (01:43):
Counted closer. I blame the child and the child's chance,
not the person.

Speaker 3 (01:50):
That was waiting on their truth on their lunch. I
think that the little boy said, but but the thing
about it is trump cut food.

Speaker 6 (02:00):
Hey, the kid got eat, so they gonna get it
on Miami mean necessary. First of all, they need to
find out because my understanding was the man has his
food delivered on a daily basis.

Speaker 4 (02:14):
So it sounds like the mom is not doing her job,
and maybe dh S needs to get involved to.

Speaker 5 (02:19):
See why she's not feeding this child and this child
is stealing, because it's almost like you're rewarding the child
and you're trying to go against the man.

Speaker 4 (02:30):
The man didn't do nothing.

Speaker 5 (02:32):
If he's doing this every day, having his food delivered,
then you need to stop your child from stealing.

Speaker 3 (02:38):
The baker right that was established clears the neighbor, and
the mama needs to go to jail too if she
knew our son was stealing. At to say it, but
she needs to go to jail too.

Speaker 6 (02:48):
My apologies for the little boy for getting sick, but
the boy is clearly able to read that it wasn't
his meal, so why would he take someone else's meal?
So I'm for the man, I'm sorry, but I do
apologize at the little boy that sect well, I remember.

Speaker 7 (03:05):
Be honest with you, he would never have got sick
if he wasn't stealing. Now the bag people get door
dashes all over the world, so what made him go
steal somebody else's fool anyway, I'm just like, yo're stealing.
She got to teach her son not to steal.

Speaker 4 (03:20):
Basically, I know it's just just a child, but the
parent is still responsible for the child, and so don't
keep your eye off your kid along the five minutes,
and make sure you feed your dawn child so they're
not stealing other people's food.

Speaker 1 (03:34):
It is U the d are usually show you a
twenty twenty five edition. There was an interesting discussion on
the Pivot podcast. If a man dies, you think it's
okay for his best friend to marry his wife? That
was a question he posted you when you.

Speaker 8 (03:47):
Said, I mean sorta goes back to the cube of
Gooding Junior moving with Tom Cruise. If you don't marry you,
you're kind of not supposed to be shop lifting the
pooty from a single mother. But on the other cause,
I mean, they gotta look at Paul Gusall. Paul gus
All posally is with Kobe Bryant's on excellent. I don't

(04:08):
think he's ever gonna marry her, but at whatever rate,
you're gonna look at the pump daddy doctor too, and
Papa just might try to get rid of you to
get her.

Speaker 6 (04:14):
If you're dead or alive.

Speaker 3 (04:15):
Anyway, no, because you're gonna make me think that something
was going on all the time, right, even if I
was dead or alive. I'm coming back and somebody getting
to beat Dan.

Speaker 9 (04:27):
You don't marry your.

Speaker 6 (04:28):
Best friend's ex wife.

Speaker 3 (04:30):
No, No, you don't do that.

Speaker 7 (04:33):
You know that's a man lord, you don't do that. Yeah.

Speaker 10 (04:36):
Absolutely, I think it's okay to you your best friend
to marry your wife if you die, Yeah, ex or whatever.
Like people are selfish, like adults are juvenile. What's best
for everybody, and that's what they can should consider. I mean,
but like I said, you passed, this guy is somebody
who watch her on back. The best example I've seen
of it was in Pearl Harper. They thought he was dead,
they hooked up, she got pregnant, he died, he still

(04:59):
made her that baby, that's his boy. Like, there's a
genuine love there. So if there's no love, I mean,
you can have a best friend, but did you actually
love them?

Speaker 7 (05:07):
Well, after thinking about it, I guess I'd be one
of them benevolent ghosts that every time they open the
door to the bedroom or open certain parts of her anatomy,
I'd be.

Speaker 10 (05:17):
Like boo boo.

Speaker 11 (05:21):
I'd be a smelly ghost, but i'd be a mean ghost. Nonetheless,
if I'm dead and gone, what the hell doesn't what
difference doesn't make seriously. I mean, that's the problem people.
The only one who cares about the nosy moment keep
my life. But the nosy people, that's Medley. You know
that woman got a life to live, so you got
to keep it pushing, all right. Ain't nothing wrong with
keeping that ning war more part to my brother. That's

(05:43):
what he's doing. I ain't mad at him.

Speaker 1 (05:45):
So this is an interesting conversation. I've heard a kind
of reminists of this. A man with the money is
expected to share, but a woman with money is told
she doesn't need a man.

Speaker 12 (05:54):
Man with money is expected to share, but a woman
with money is told she doesn't need a man. Same income,
totally different rules. Let me explain before you get mad.
In our culture, men are taught from day one that
if they're not earning, they're failing. If they can't provide,
they're not real men. If they don't pick up the check,
they're broker stingy. A man's value is often reduced to
his financial output. Now flip the script. When women become successful,

(06:17):
we don't expect them to carry anybody. In fact, we
celebrate it as a form of freedom. Yes, queen, you're independent.
She doesn't need a man. He's expected to provide, but
she's expected to escape. Because if we really want partnership,
then we need to stop placing all the financial burden
on one side, well celebrating freedom on the other.

Speaker 1 (06:36):
That was the question we posed to you.

Speaker 13 (06:38):
You said, I think she is so right. I think
women are not exercise women. I do believe that men
are supposed to beat ahead, not to tail. But you know, eventually,
when women get up into a life and get their
money right and they are they're like, okay, queen to no,

(06:58):
you always need a man. That's why God man and
may women so we can be with a man.

Speaker 5 (07:04):
First of all, from a man's perspective, a woman should
not think she needs a man.

Speaker 1 (07:11):
A woman should want a man.

Speaker 6 (07:12):
The other thing is what other people.

Speaker 5 (07:15):
Think about you ain't none of your business. So if
they think you cheat, men gonna change your mind. Women
have really bumped ahead. I don't know where that philosophy
came from, but I believe that that marriage is a partnership,
and that when women have money, they are supposed to share.
If you're in a partnership, it's all about sharing finances,

(07:37):
sharing responsibility. I don't know where the women got off
that if you make a certain amount of money you
don't have to share, or a man is obligated to
take care of you. I don't know where that came from,
and it is so upsetting.

Speaker 3 (07:54):
If a woman is gonna be providing the full load
for a man, they should be married and maybe with
children if the man want to be if they agree
to be a stay home dad or something like that.
But as far as just Dayton, no, I believe it
should be equal. A man shouldn't have to carry the
whole load and leader ship the woman.

Speaker 1 (08:15):
All right, coming up, we got a little note from
the GED section. Is the deal? Hugan l you have
fun for you during the Weekdad?

Speaker 13 (08:21):
Are you crazy?

Speaker 6 (08:22):
Crazy?

Speaker 1 (08:23):
You really are crazy? Keep it on the DL Hughglee,
damn straight. Now it's time to give it deserving someone
the shoe Booty of the Week award.

Speaker 9 (08:31):
And now it's time for the shoe Booty of the
Week award. Behonmutu is a construction worker in Eneguai, Turkey.
He came to Kayaka to work in construction. So why

(08:52):
is Behan this week's recipient of the Shoe Booty of
the Week Award.

Speaker 7 (08:56):
I'm fallsy Behon gets.

Speaker 9 (08:59):
The shoe because he starred in his own version of
Where's Waldough? And He's Waldough? What do you mean by it?
Seems the man from Turkey had too much wild turkey.
One day after work, he wandered off into the woods
to relieve himself and never came back. Worried about him,

(09:20):
his friends alerted the authorities, who set up a search
and rescue mission to find him.

Speaker 1 (09:27):
Holdaddy.

Speaker 9 (09:29):
When the tank Turkey heard about the mission, like a
good citizen, he joined the search party for hours, they
walked through the forest calling his name. After many hours,
a voice from the middle of the pack said, who
are you looking for?

Speaker 7 (09:50):
Are you serious? Now?

Speaker 9 (09:51):
How white girl wasted do you have to be that
you don't even notice that the people all around and
yourself is calling? Hang out your name, find me something?

Speaker 1 (10:01):
Who your ass with?

Speaker 9 (10:02):
He had to be so drunk. He introduced himself to
his own reflection and asks for its ID.

Speaker 5 (10:10):
You are really dumb for real?

Speaker 9 (10:12):
He probably would try to pull up on Siri after
getting directions to a spot. This situation is like a
comedy thriller movie. It's like Dude, Where's me? Or like
The Hangover, but Doug is looking for Doug open barre.

Speaker 1 (10:29):
Dude.

Speaker 9 (10:30):
Behan went out to party and maybe find himself. He
ended up in a search party and found himself.

Speaker 1 (10:39):
Congratulations, and that's.

Speaker 9 (10:41):
Why the shoes Booty of the week the ward goes
too Behan. Now here's a swift kick in.

Speaker 1 (10:54):
That ass inkigg. If you know somebody who's not up
on the dlh so you need to call him right
now and tell him the need to be listening. It's
the DL Hughgley Show. Now for those of you who
are not regular listens of the deal he would show.
He's just a tiny bit of why you should listen
every single day. Did you see damon that?

Speaker 8 (11:09):
Man?

Speaker 9 (11:09):
I damon that? Yeah, man, he's wilder the first thing.

Speaker 1 (11:13):
Maybe you're boss, but maybe you should take a job,
just get dimmer. But Delta dental is. And I'm telling
you you you know that you lie a lot when
your teeth leave, when your teeth go, I can't take
this no more, he got. They got so tired of
line through his teeth, they left. A musle man refused
to get on his knee to repose to his Christian fiance.

(11:34):
I would say that a great deal of religious conversions
come at the behindst of a lover. A woman who
loves a man might become his religion, or a man
who loves a woman might become her. And that's that's
how strong love is. They can only try to be
as respectful as they can't to the other person.

Speaker 9 (11:48):
Right, she should have known when he didn't need that
ham sandwich she made fun.

Speaker 1 (11:51):
Right, you may do free if you don't believe in God.
Just know the fact that when I saw Jamay do
freak get Janet Jackson, I knew there was a guess
it wasn't you know, manning from heaven or delivering people
from Egypt, or riosing people were dead. But with Jermaine
Dupre got Jana Jackson what there is very definitely got

(12:14):
got me. You know who RFK is. You know how
it say it's four out to five dinners survey. He's
the fifth dinners. You know it always says, you know,
four and five doctors. He's the fifth one. He's always
the one people goes what he's that one, the one
who now he's in charge. I swear if you listen
to the TMU Kennedy, you get whatever you get. That's
what the guy you get. He sounds like every grimlin

(12:37):
I've ever heard. Man, until you clear your thoat, I
don't want to hear one thing you say. I'm gonna
drop another hot new song with my day Butters. The
week that is up in less than fifteen minutes. It
is the Duley Show yelling.

Speaker 9 (12:49):
The crew are setting it off weekday afternoons.

Speaker 1 (12:52):
So airlines are thinking about charging overweight passages more because

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.
