Pro-tip: If you're planning to leave 60+ threatening, profanity-laced voicemails for the Franklin County, Ohio judge presiding over your drunk-driving case, be *sure* to identify yourself by name, leave your phone number, and let her know you're *also* calling in bomb threats to a local bar, a Home Depot, a Best Western, and two nearby schools. AND don't forget to call the local sheriff's office 100 times to advise them, among other things, that one of their dispatchers is "probably fat as f***." **No, this isn't real legal advice.

(WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE) On December 7, 1941, pilots from the Imperial Japanese Navy bombed Pearl Harbor in a surprise attack on the island of Oahu, Hawaii. After strafing Pearl Harbor in the second wave of the attack, Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service pilot Shigenori Nishikaichi was in dire straits—his plane was too damaged to make it back to his aircraft carrier. If necessary, all Imperial Japanese pilots were instructed to crash land on Ni'ihau, a small Hawaiian island they were certain was "uninhabited." They were wrong. This is the story of the Battle of Ni'ihau—One pilot, one remote island, 136 Ni'ihauans, and a declaration of war only the enemy pilot knew about. *** MERCH STORE IS LIVE!

(WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE) Before 2019, no crimes had been committed in space (that we know of). After poring over records, the New York Times could only come up with three things: (1) damage to a Russian satellite that was allegedly China’s fault; (2) a lawsuit seeking to recover a deposit somebody put down for a space-tourism trip; and (3) a U.S.-government sting operation aimed at recovering a moon rock. Only one of those happened in space, though, and none of them are crimes.  That is, until an ex-wife of a NASA astronaut decided to play petty. Reb launches us into two cases: (1) a bad break up and (2) a horrific moon-rock-related detention by federal agents of a Granny in a diner parking lot. This is Summer Heather Worden v. Anne McClain (2019) (2025) and Joann Davis v. United States (2017). *** MERCH STORE IS LIVE!

(WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE) The State of Connecticut charged Teresa Beatty $249 per day, every day, while she was in prison for a minor drug offense from 2000 to 2002—But she wouldn't discover this until 20 years later. When her mother died in 2020, the State of Connecticut filed a notice in probate court demanding approximately 35%—over $83,000—of Beatty’s inheritance. And it was perfectly legal. In fact, at least 45 states in America force you to pay (literally) for the privilege of being imprisoned in a country with one of the highest incarceration rates in the world... This is Beatty v. Lamont (2022), State v. Richey (2019), and "Pay-To-Stay" laws. Links Captive Money Lab: "Pay-to-stay laws keep a person incarcerated long after their prison term ends."

Morrow could not help but feel uneasy as he watched the Huey helicopter approach the village for a final rehearsal. Years earlier, Morrow had had a premonition that he was going to die in a helicopter crash. . . . This is the story of ego, arrogance, a manslaughter trial, and the conduct of Director John Landis and his production team that resulted in the deaths of My-ca Dinh Le (7) , Renee Shin-Li Chen (6), and Vic Morrow (53). ***The YouTube video for this episode includes actual footage of a helicopter crash resulting in death.
