This is deeper in the din with dangerous day. A
new report found unruly behavior on airplanes has fallen seventy
five percent in the past three years. The FAA has
only received one four hundred and fifty four reports since January,
compared to almost six thousand in twenty twenty one, still
higher than before COVID. It's much more in line with
(00:21):
what was going on pre pandemic. According to the report,
there's three most likely reasons that were beating each other
up less on planes than we used to. First of all,
no mask mandates. Those mandates caused most flights by far
during the pandemic. By the way, they dropped in twenty
twenty two, incidents fell fifty percent in a single week.
Different people are traveling. The airline slash prices back then
(00:42):
to get people to fly again and led to a
lot of rookie flyers who didn't know the rules, and
there was a lot more vacationers back then and fewer
business travelers and airplanes serving alcohol again, they've not removing
booze from planes would help the problem. If people just
got drunk at the airport then boarded the flight wasted,
they snuck their own bottles and drink as much as
they wanted to. In some cases, it just made things worse. Also,
(01:06):
when you buy the drinks on the plane, you realize
how much they cost and you look at your situation thinking, yeah,
I probably better make it home Monday because I need
to go back to work. Deeper in the two. So,
what's the most common response to you hear when you
say something? Is it yes, no, I don't know, or
what did you say? According to new research, the average
person says what did you say? To somebody else three
(01:27):
times a day, about twenty one times a week, or
ninety one times a month, or about one thousand, ninety
five times per year. Obviously, there's several reasons why we
asked people to repeat themselves hearing issues. We didn't follow
what they said, we weren't listening, or we were buying
time to come up with an answer. A lot of
times I'll say what or pardon me? And I actually
then it registers in my head what they said and
(01:49):
they repeat it and I'll yeah, I heard you the
first time. If they couldn't hear, the average person will
ask to be repeated twice before giving up on understanding
or pretending what we've heard. I know there's situations where
there's a lot of external noise where somebody says something
and they just keep talking and I just smile and nod.
I don't say anything. Of course, I hear what did
you say? Quite a bit. That's when I'm walking out
(02:10):
of the boss's office, talking underneath my breath. Tune in
again for another episode of Deeper in the Den with
dangerous Dave Blight. Here

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.
