Hey, everybody, it's a sing along one more thing, I'm
strong and Getty one more thing. So it's Martin Luther
King Junior's birthday. And we decided that doing a podcast
would be flat out racist today, so we thought we
wouldn't do one. But then we thought, you know, there's
(00:20):
part of the inaugural ceremony that we didn't get on
the radio show, and we'd play that for you, and
that is Carrie Underwood came to sing America the Beautiful,
and this is apparently what happened. We're going to pick
it up where the singing starts, because there is some
sort of backing track that started as far as they
even have a live like actual I mean, it's a
(00:41):
freaking inauguration to have a backing track, have a have
a guitar player and a drummer something. But anyway they
start the backing track, it stops for some reason. Carrie
Underwood stands there uncomfortably for a full minute. We just
measured and then basically, well you'll we'll hear how it
plays it and it's actually ended up being what Jonathan
(01:03):
Turley called his favorite morning, his favorite moment of the inauguration.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Here we go.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
If you know, the words helped me out here. Ohbi
full for spacecious guys for a boo wave z grat
for perple mountain mantestees, uhbouve the fruity play Onicaerica, God Shed,
(01:59):
He's fun peace and my good way.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
From sea to shine. See it was nice.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
That's awesome. And iBOT that sounded really cool in there
with the rotund on the echo and everything like that.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Here.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
That was a great way to cap the peaceful transfer
of power. That's fantastic.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Right after Trump, who's destroying norms like a bull in
a china shop, turned the inaugural address into the darkest,
ugliest spectacle eye as this reporter has ever witnessed. Blah
blah blah.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Joe talked about it on the radio show. But we're
so used to it. We've been doing it for two
hundred and fifty years now or whatever. It's just extraordinary
in human history for this to happen.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
And uh, the peaceful transfer you mean, right, Yeah, a
completely different point of view takes over because you won
in the election and the other side says, okay, and I.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Hate this, but get your best shot and.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Then well and even in to get more specific about today.
And then the new guy stands up and this is
kind of not the normal stands up and says the
old guys sucked, and the old guys are sitting there.
The old guys are like, Eh, I think you suck,
but I'm gonna sit here with dignity because we lost.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
So anyway, who knows what Joe Biden was thinking, but
in general, you would be thinking that Trump held back
zero shots.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Biden was thinking Betty Davis Shure could fill out a
pair of jeans.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
Anyway, because this is Martin Luther King Junior's birthday and
we're not racist, we will end the podcast.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
Well, I guess that's it.

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.
