With the Lindsay Clancy murder trial now in the hands of a deadlocked jury, national debate around postpartum psychosis, maternal mental health, and criminal responsibility has reached a breaking point. On Week 516 of the 3 time award winning flagship podcast Duke Loves Rasslin, host Duke sits down with guest Alissa G, an experienced educator, wife, and mother, for an unvarnished, high stakes debate on the trial. Following Duke’s stance on Devon & The Duke (co hosted with WWE Hall of Famer Devon Dudley) where he detailed why he would vote guilty, Alissa steps up to offer a perspective she felt was missing: the lived experience of a mother navigating complex maternal health issues. The conversation expands into a deep dive on women's health research, exploring how medical study over the past 50 years has lagged behind and why understanding mental health conditions like postpartum depression and postpartum psychosis remains so critical. Things heat up when Alissa asserts that Lindsay Clancy would never experience postpartum psychosis again without having more children, prompting Duke to challenge the claim, arguing that given future medical advancements, AI, and quantum computing, making definitive statements on evolving science is a dangerous gamble. This fierce clash of perspectives opens up a raw exchange that challenges assumptions on both sides of the courtroom. Episode Highlights Devon & The Duke’s Guilty Votes Unpacked: Addressing the original arguments made on Devon & The Duke, as Alissa G directly responds to both hosts and makes it clear how much key context a male perspective misses. Maternal Mental Health & Science: Examining the 50 year history of women's health research and how the justice system evaluates mental health conditions like postpartum psychosis. The Mother’s Perspective: Alissa G brings her insight as an educator and mother, tackling aspects of the case male led commentary often misses. Future Tech vs. Medical Claims: Duke pushes back on predictions regarding future psychosis episodes, bringing emerging science, AI, and quantum computing into the debate. Debate Built on Respect: An impassioned, unfiltered conversation filled with tears, laughter, and sharp debate, maintained through mutual respect, love, and empathy.
