What a great Friday.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
I'm loving it.
Speaker 1 (00:01):
Gotta go around the room. Puts on your mind today.
I want to start with you, Danielle, what's you're thinking?
Speaker 3 (00:06):
Well, actually, do me and Sam at the same time.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
About Okay, yeah, well let's do Danielle and Sam right
now here we go.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
Because we went to this amazing event for Little Words
Project yesterday. Our friend Audriana Carik she now has a
book out and you know, Little Words Project I told
you yesterday it's just about like passing these adorable bracelets
that have positive words on it to make you feel
better and to brighten up someone's day and just knowing
that words make a difference, right, Yeah, absolutely, And we
(00:35):
went to this event yesterday and we met the most
amazing women and we found out that Audriyana really lives
the way she preaches. She's one of the kindest women.
We found out about all these stories about women that
she's given a chance to to just you know, do
their thing, even if they didn't have any sort of experience.
She gave them a chance and they are thriving.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
Danielle talk about the woman who design her stores.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Yeah, so there was one woman who designs her stores
and she has fourteen brick and mortar stores. Now, she
never did this before. She had met Audriyana at something
and she said to her, yeah, I don't I'd love
to design your stores, but I don't know the first
thing about designing a store. I mean, she had some
design background, and Audriana's answer was, no, worries, I don't
really know what I'm doing either. We'll figure this out together.
(01:22):
And now the woman has designed fourteen stores and has
been able to start her own Company's how cool?
Speaker 4 (01:28):
Is that?
Speaker 5 (01:29):
Amazing?
Speaker 6 (01:29):
Right?
Speaker 1 (01:29):
So these are the people we should be supporting. Tell
everyone where to go and how to support.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
Oh, just go to Little Words Project. You just google it,
go on Instagram anywhere and you'll find it.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Yeah, Sam, you did nothing that entire time.
Speaker 4 (01:40):
I liked that whole time.
Speaker 6 (01:42):
I'm not emphatically Okay, so my same, same but different
meyerund the room. I kind of want to speak to
why she started the company in the first place. This
queen was bullied so badly as a child that at
one point the police had to be called to interfere. Like,
she got it so rough when she was growing up.
So she founded this company on what she needed, which
(02:03):
was a positive word around her wrist, just like so
you could look down and remind yourself of it. So
I wanted to say to everyone out there who's dealing
with crap from the outside that they can't really control it.
Freaking sucks, but it might just be the superpower you
need to change the world in that way. I love
I love what she's done, and I can't believe that's
how she started.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
So excellent, Thanksllou. Continuing around the room, look over there,
there's Froggy. Froggy, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 7 (02:29):
So as you guys know that today the new iPhone
comes out, and so yesterday I'm trading my iPhone in
to get the new iPhone so it doesn't cost as much.
I dropped my iPhone for the first time.
Speaker 5 (02:40):
What happened?
Speaker 1 (02:42):
What happened?
Speaker 3 (02:43):
Damn?
Speaker 7 (02:43):
I thought it broke the screen, but it only broke
the screen protector on top of it. So I took
it off. But I'm telling you right now, I'm only
using it over carpeted in soft services now until I
can turn it in.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
We're talking about a lot of money you would lose
if you cracked that phone.
Speaker 7 (02:58):
Yeah, I traded it in and I got eight hundre
dollars for it, so I mean it takes eight hundred
dollars off the cost of my thought. Right, best of luck?
Speaker 5 (03:04):
You know it, something's.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Gonna happens to get to where's me?
Speaker 6 (03:09):
Luck?
Speaker 8 (03:10):
Straight?
Speaker 6 (03:10):
Eight?
Speaker 4 (03:10):
What's going on with you?
Speaker 6 (03:11):
Okay?
Speaker 5 (03:11):
I know I've mentioned it a couple of times. Showgun
is really good. There's a reason it won all of
those Emmys. It's it's just so well done, the story,
the acting. I think I'm actually picking up some Japanese now.
It's it's so good. So give it a try if
you haven't seen it, please, this is not an ad.
They're not paying me to say this. It's just really
well done and it deserved all those awards.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
We've heard from everyone, including Mark Adams, the smartest man
in the world down the hall. Show Gun is the
way to go. All right, I'm gonna watch Hey, scary,
what's going on with you?
Speaker 4 (03:41):
Well?
Speaker 2 (03:41):
I never used to speak up when I got bad
customer service, and recently I've been speaking up every time.
Remember when I was landing at Newark and the plane
got diverted and we landed four hours late because of
sticky valve.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Right, I tell you about this well.
Speaker 8 (03:55):
I went in.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
I said, look, you you destroyed my entire night am
I vacation, and all the anxiety and stress came back.
I wrote to United Airlines customer Service. They came back with,
here's one hundred and fifty dollars voucher for once for
you and one for your girlfriend, and we're gonna deposit
seventy five hundred miles into your account and any inconvenience
(04:17):
financially that it took you that night with ubers and
taxi rides home, We're gonna take care.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Of that as well.
Speaker 4 (04:23):
Oh my god, I never thought I would get all that,
but I just went a.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Little back and forth with them in a nice manner
over email, and thank you United Airlines Customer Service.
Speaker 4 (04:32):
I caught you doing something right.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
Nice.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
You know, I can't imagine being customer service at an
airline because there's so many things that go wrong every
single second of every single day with an airline. A
lot of it's out of their control, but they have
to make it right. You know, they should thank you United.
You caught them doing something right. Finally, what's up with
you today, Gandhi? What's on your mind? Okay?
Speaker 8 (04:53):
I want to take this moment to apologize to Diamond,
who I don't even think is listening to us right now.
But I gave her crap about running away from that
bear when we were at Glacier National Park and a
story came out today that a hiker was attacked on
the same trail by a bear at Glacier National Bar.
Oh no, my hole, it'll be fine. Just make noise
and don't bother the bear, you know, scare it off.
(05:14):
Maybe not so true, So sorry Diamond, but look at us,
We made it through.
Speaker 7 (05:18):
Yay.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
Whatever, it was the same bear you guys saw.
Speaker 8 (05:22):
Maybe maybe she got tired of people messing with her
baby getting too close.
Speaker 7 (05:26):
Either way, I love.
Speaker 5 (05:27):
You around the room.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
I gave you health for being scared. Now be scared, girl, Yeah,
through it.
Speaker 8 (05:32):

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.
