Speaker 1 (00:00):
So I got to say congratulations, congrats in order for
my dear friend station A Ken, who has resurfaced in
Columbus on TV again. As you know, she left ABC
six Fox twenty eight. This was back in January, and

(00:20):
so she has resurfaced and she's now going to be
on ten TV. So she's on Channel ten here locally.
And yeah, it's been you know, seven months since she's
been on air, and so this whole time she's not
been able to be on because there's no compete. It's
a whole it's all in the weeds kind of thing

(00:43):
with regard to you know, people's contracts and non compete,
you know, all these different things, but it's kind of
it's kind of stringent what happens in the media when
you exit a place. And so everybody's learning today that
it was a press press release that was released. But

(01:05):
I just wanted to say congratulations to Stacio. Couldn't have
happened to a nicer person. She is absolutely a pros pro.
I had the pleasure, as you know, of working with
her for over five years. She was on the Mark
Blazer Show every Thursday, and she is just absolutely salt
of the earth. I mean, one of the greatest people

(01:27):
on the planet. And I really I love her like
a sister and she's been just an incredible person to
have in my life. And she's such a team player,
she's so supportive and all of these things. So it
couldn't have happened to a nicer person as far as
Stacia goes. But you know, she's looking for big things
in the future. So congratulations to her, and you know,

(01:51):
well deserved for that. I'm very happy for her. So
Alex Stone, ABC News is joining us now. And so Alex,
I know you're a Starbucks guy. Correct, sure? Sometimes yeah, well, yeah,
I guess I am when I on payday, like when
I get paid.

Speaker 2 (02:11):
My wife loves Starbucks every now and then I'll go,
or you know, if we're on the road, I'll go.
But I'm not like a I don't. I'll crave it
every day.

Speaker 1 (02:18):
Now, Yeah, because there are a lot of people who
can you imagine the business model Just on a side note,
the business model of a Starbucks when they start, I
don't think they anticipated the type of popularity and the
return on investment for this company has just been off

(02:41):
the charts. Where they go, we're going to charge you
eight dollars for a coffee and a coffee drink or whatever,
and we've got you know, I don't know, maybe a
buck five in it or maybe less, I don't know,
something like that. And we're going to have people out
the door as soon as we open the doors, and
it's going to be in insanity, you know, every day,

(03:02):
depending on which one you go to. I mean, it's
incredible what they have done as far as you know
that business.

Speaker 2 (03:09):
And they're still building them. In my community. It feels
like every street corner is getting one now. Then they
keep adding them, and yeah, it they definitely they've got
it down. But one thing I've noticed, I don't know
how long they've had them, but that now when you
get a I just drink black coffee, and when I'll
order a black coffee, now they've got almost like a
little key rig there that is so it's always fresh.
It's not coming out of a pot that's always you know, that's.

Speaker 3 (03:32):
Been sitting there for four hours.

Speaker 2 (03:34):
But now it grinds the beans and makes the one
cup of coffee from freshly ground beans, and so you're
always getting now a freshly brewed cup of coffee.

Speaker 3 (03:42):
It's kind of nice.

Speaker 1 (03:43):
That is fantastic. I get there an espresso like for them.
I have an espresso machine at the house, and what
I'll do is they're pods. They're Starbucks blonde espresso roast pods.
That yeah, they brew like one point seven ounce of
espresso and I'll put that in my coffee every day,
so I'm kind of super charging it or whatever. But yeah,

(04:05):
what a what an amazing what an amazing company, what
a crazy business model. Anyway, I brought all that up
to say they released four new drinks now and then,
and then they part of the headline is you won't
find on the menu, so they're doing I guess.

Speaker 3 (04:19):
Like a like a hidden menu, I guess.

Speaker 1 (04:21):
But Cookies on Top is the first one they listed here.
So it's a cookies and cream take on a classic
cold brew. Two pumps of vanilla syrup, vanilla sweet cream,
cold foam, and a cookie crumble topping. Now you talk about, well,
you're just and you're watching your figure. So a thousand
calories drink probably that's why you're drinking black coffee sugar. Yeah, probably, Yeah,

(04:44):
you're right. Yeah, it's literally like two days worth of
calorie slash sugar, maybe three days of sugar even uh,
the dragon fruit glow up and that's the mango dragonfruit refresher.
I don't know if you've had one of those. Josie
will get those. My daughter and I had those for
the first time as far as you know, a couple
of years ago. Those refreshers, Boy, they're amazing. They do

(05:06):
have caffeine in them, but boy they really are refreshing.
But again, get ready for the sugar rush too. That
these are blended with peach juice blend. There's a vanilla
sweet cream foam. What's not to like about that, right,
I guess yeah. Lemon tea and pearls. It's a black
tea and lemonade combination, added raspberry flavored popping pearls. I

(05:27):
don't know what a popping pearl is, but it sounds
really refreshing.

Speaker 2 (05:30):
I think it's like the boba kind of stuff, were
like the thing that kind of explodes in your mouth.

Speaker 1 (05:36):
Probably probably. Then there's just add white mocha. This is
an upgrade to the fan favorite ice brown sugar oat
milk shaking hispreast on. Now, that's the one that I'll get,
and that one's actually reasonable. It's maybe one hundred and
eighty calories and it's made with oat milk. But then
it has you know, the brown sugar, brown sugar, some
sort of something in it. But I think it's just

(05:57):
like a syrup kind of pump. But it's it's really
reasonable with regard to the calories and so on. But
man is it tasty. And it's got like four shots
of espresso in at the large one and I love
I love that thing. But now you can add two
pumps of white chocolate mocha sauce top with vanilla sweet cream.
Phone I won't be doing all that to mine, but

(06:18):
that's something that's like an extra. Again, these aren't on
the menu, so you know, it's one of those things
that they're releasing right now. But I know I've figured
that you were a Starbucks guy. I think that might
be a prerequisite if you're going to live in California,
you got you gotta get Starbucks.

Speaker 3 (06:35):
Well, I don't know there's like a revolt against them
here because they are a chain. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (06:39):
I always see everybody going, no, don't go there, or
go to a local, oh, a local low coffee shop.

Speaker 3 (06:44):
But you know, I'm more of a chain kind of
guy in general.

Speaker 1 (06:47):
So yeah, you know what you're getting. They're really, i
mean typically very consistent. You know what you're getting there,
and sometimes that might be missing. If you're going to
a mom and pop place.

Speaker 3 (06:58):
Right, you know what you're gonna get.

Speaker 2 (07:00):
It's we I'm the guy that was at Chili's the
other day getting the three for me, so you know,
you know what you're going to get there.

Speaker 1 (07:06):
It is for sure they have Chili's in California. I
didn't think that. I thought the California was just too
cool to have it.

Speaker 3 (07:12):
No, there's a Chili's right around the block from my house.

Speaker 1 (07:15):
Chilis Baby Barbecue. Stone is always singing that to me.
My son, he's always like, I want my baby back,
baby back. He does that.

Speaker 3 (07:25):
I'm not.

Speaker 1 (07:25):
I'm like, where did you see that?

Speaker 2 (07:26):
I was doing that the other day when you're in
there and my son, Jackson's like, what do you like?
You didn't know the commercial? Like, I know, if you're
doing barbecues by.

Speaker 1 (07:34):
The way, those are on social Yeah, the picture of
your family, you guys are right there by the Pacific
that's on the beach there. It looks like you guys
were I don't know. It was like, yeah, man, good
looking family. You got there, brother, I mean, you're very blessed.
And I don't have to tell you that. I know,
you know, I definitely am. Yeah, it's yeah, absolutely, man.

(07:55):
You guys are like the picture perfect family. It looks
you know. I'm like, man, now there's a family that
they never fight, there's nothing ever.

Speaker 3 (08:01):
Wrong, unlike the family we're about to.

Speaker 1 (08:05):
Talk about, exactly this Colorado dentist. So what a bizarre story, right.

Speaker 3 (08:10):
Yeah, it really is. So.

Speaker 2 (08:11):
Doctor Tames Craig and his wife Angela. They got married
in nineteen ninety nine. They have six children. They were
prominent members of the LDS Church. Seem to have perfect life.
That's really what they put out there. He had what
seemed like a successful dentistry office, seemed to be doing
very well. They gave the image of a perfect family.
This is him a video for his dentistry practice.

Speaker 1 (08:34):
The most satisfying thing about my job is when a
patient leaves and they say, wow, that was a lot
easier than I expected it to be.

Speaker 2 (08:40):
But behind the scenes, both sides say that the couple
was in turmoil. They had financial issues, that Craig had
been having an affair. His team says that he had
numerous affairs over many years and really just NonStop women
over their twenty three years of marriage, and that the
latest woman was no different than the rest. What they
said during opening statements today in court that he would
not have killed his wife for this woman who he

(09:03):
was having an affair with, that she was just another woman.
That is their defense, that yeah, he had numerous women,
but that this was she was not so special in
his life that he would have killed his wife. That woman,
an orthodonist, sat down with us Davies Neews a couple
of years ago, told us she doesn't like being called
a mistress, that he had lied to her.

Speaker 3 (09:22):
She didn't know he had a family.

Speaker 2 (09:23):
I don't like that label. If I had known what
was true, I would not have been with this person.
The prosecutors say, because he wanted to begin a new life,
that he had searched online. This is where it'll get
you when you're googling this for undetectable poisons. How many
grams of arsenic will kill a human? And his arsenic

(09:43):
detectable and an autopsy is what he had been looking for,
and he allegedly then bought arsenic and then later cyanide.
She went to the hospital three times with abdominal pains
and wasn't feeling quite right. They couldn't figure out what
was wrong with her.

Speaker 3 (09:56):
One of his.

Speaker 2 (09:57):
Staff opened up a box. He had said, Hey, I'm
going to get de livery, don't open it up. This
employee did not get the message and opened it up
and there was cyanide in there. He claimed that it
was for the dentist's office, but Dennis said there is
no use for cyanide in a dentist's office. And then
he allegedly killed his wife by putting cyanide and an
ingredient in over the counter eye drops in his wife's

(10:18):
protein shake, and then she died, but she died on
her third trip to the hospital. He's also, by the way,
accused of trying to get their kids to destroy evidence,
and to hire a hitman while in jail to kill
the police detective leading the case against him. So all
kinds of stuff today, opening statements started. Witnesses are being
called right now. His team claims that the police had
blinders on, that they ignored evidence because they were so

(10:40):
focused on him, that there are other ways to interpret
her death, like maybe it was a suicide, but the
trial likely to go on for.

Speaker 3 (10:46):
A number of weeks.

Speaker 1 (10:47):
Well as far as the I know you said the
third trip to the hospital is what got her the
first couple of times, had it stopped? I mean, was
it trace enough to where she have recovered from the
or like does that build? And you're like, well, I'm
not a medical expert, but I just wonder if that's

(11:08):
the kind of thing, you know, that mixture that finally
got her. Was it he finally did a heavy enough
dose or was it.

Speaker 2 (11:15):
It was he went from arsenic to cyanide and that
did the trick that once, because she was in the
hospital when he got that delivery of cyanide on her
second time, and then she got out and then he
allegedly poisoned her with cyanide and then that killed her.
So it seems like it was more the ingredient of
what was in that protein shake and finally he was
able to do it. They even after her second time,

(11:36):
they were caught on surveillance video at home arguing about
this and she thought he had poisoned her. There was
a text message on the grab she texted him when
she went to the hospital saying I feel drugged, and
he texted back just for the record, I did not
drug you. I mean, who's gonna just out of the
blue text add back to their wife when she's dying
in the hospital.

Speaker 1 (11:55):
Unless she so had she accused him verbally of that
before she sent.

Speaker 3 (11:59):
Them, Yeah, that she felt like, yeah, he was drugging her.

Speaker 1 (12:02):
It's like he's putting himself on record going. But there's
there's way too many things connected to that. With regard
to the cyanide showing up at his and somebody opens
it up at.

Speaker 2 (12:14):
Supply of eye drops, you know that that's what the
other alleged ingredient in the shake of putting the eye
drop medication in there.

Speaker 1 (12:23):
This guy's screwed. I mean, there's no way he gets
I mean, it's so it feels like everything is there's
no way.

Speaker 2 (12:29):
Yeah, you never know what a jury's gonna do, but
it does seem like there's a lot of evidence against him.

Speaker 1 (12:33):
Yeah, well that is crazy, man. And there's six kids.

Speaker 3 (12:36):
You said six kids, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (12:38):
Like younger kind of yet well I think it's kind
of yeah, across the spectrum. They've been married since ninety nine,
so I don't know their exact ages, but I believe
they have some older ones who maybe like late teens,
early twenties.

Speaker 3 (12:48):
And then you know, down to like ten eleven.

Speaker 1 (12:50):
Man, so sad, like what a terrible terrible, clearly terrible story.
And so yeah, man a like Stone, ABC News out
of Los Angeles, the very just done this. Thank you, Alex,
appreciate it later, See you, man,
