These new pages list multiple names of prominent men whose influence span across NASCAR, private equity, and politics. One man named is Leon Black, former CEO of private equity giant Apollo Global Management, with a unifying theme across several allegations about his preference to inflict a unique type of pain.

TRIGGER WARNING: Discussion of sexual abuse and crimes against minors.  As the head of the FBI and DOJ continue to downplay, deny, and deflect from the Epstein Files in Congressional hearings, we delve into evidence that Jeffrey Epstein was not only managing a human trafficking for the rich and powerful, but that he was also intentionally impregnating girls. We also review emails that showcase his efforts to fund studies on evolution and how to create "designer babies". Then, we compare that information with allegations about his secluded Zorro Ranch property in New Mexico, which was never searched despite an alleged former staff member reporting buried bodies. We conclude by reviewing emails that detail how involved Epstein was in medical information about his victims and what doctors he trusted, and paid, to provide them care.  People featured for their Epstein correspondence and/or connection in this episode include: Mark Tramo, Martin Nowak, Bryan Bishop, Dr. Barnaby Marsh, Dr. Adam Romoff, Dr. Daniel C. Baker, Salvatore Nuara, Zurab Mikeladze, Leonic Leonov, Nicola Caputo, Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem, Matthew Mellon, Leslie Wexner, and victim's advocate Conchita Sarnoff.

TRIGGER WARNING: Discussion of sexual abuse and crimes against minors.  After 20 minutes of updates on current events, we dive into a new batch of approximately 3.5 million files, released at the end of January, and compare the communications of powerful people and Epstein with their backpedaling public statements. Specifically, Bill Gates and the email that alleges his extramarital affairs and an STD, Elon Musk's social outings and enthusiastic endeavors to visit Epstein's island, current Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick's family trip to the island, Epstein's ongoing emails with Peter Thiel, and enlightening commentary by Deepak Choprah. Also, an unexpected name in an email chain kicks off a side quest into how several Bravolebrities are connected to the manager of a global sex trafficking ring. BONUS: Learning about Epstein's long-time PR person, Peggy Siegel, and witnessing the snowball effect of a patriarchal, pick-me mindset  Check your voter registration, find your polling location, or contact your representatives via USA.GOV, VOTE.GOV, and/or the "5 Calls" app.  All opinions are personal and not representative of any outside company, person, or agenda.

Amidst the recently unsealed documents in the 'It Ends With Us' legal fiasco are a flurry of texts and communications from Blake Lively's husband, Ryan Reynolds. This pod reviews those texts and their lengthy demands for support and action from agents and studios alike, all of whom were expected to defend Blake from the wave of negative public feedback she was getting. Thanks to Ryan's marathon text sessions with WME agent Warren Zavala and former Endeavor CEO Patrick Whitesell, we get a glimpse into the levels of anger, indignation, and love for ghost writing, that drove the infamous apology letter that Wayfarer refused to post. Whether it's the placating style of a Hollywood agent, the pitfalls of ego, the importance of honest optics and acknowledging privilege in light of American history, or the value of an Oxford comma, this debacle continues to serve as a fascinating topic of discussion.  BONUS: an update on the most expensive documentary ever made, as requested by a criminal for his immigrant wife, directed by a washed up lump of a man seen in the Epstein files who also assaulted and/or drugged several women, and paid for by a billionaire famous for treating his employees terribly and not paying taxes.  All opinions are personal and not representative of any outside company, person, or agenda.

Another week of the world watching America's increasing escalation of violence against ourselves, further degradation of everything we once stood for, while also awaiting millions of overdue Epstein files. The thoroughly documented murder of Alex Pretti by ICE/Border Patrol/DHS agents touched a new nerve when the administration chose to lie, despite visual evidence, and to blame the presence of his un-brandished, licensed firearm as justification for his death. Video and eye witness accounts are in direct opposition to the narrative pushed by the department that killed a man in broad daylight. Even the NRA issued a statement challenging that take, and the federal workers union that Alex was a member of (AFGE) demand accountability and consequences. Meanwhile, speeches at the World Economic Forum made it abundantly clear that America's new bully isolationist road will be a lonely, vulnerable, costly, and likely violent one. That begs the question, what is driving the fixation to own Greenland and who would it benefit?  StandwithMinnesota.com  Check your voter registration, find your polling location, or contact your representatives via USA.GOV, VOTE.GOV, and/or the "5 Calls" app.  “I love America more than any other country in the world and, exactly for this reason, I insist on the right to criticize her perpetually.” - James Baldwin Wanna support this independent pod?

A heap of newly unsealed correspondence helps clear up longstanding speculation about the level of involvement and insight outsiders had into the Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni, It Ends With Us drama. Trash talk between Blake and her bestie Taylor Swift is getting a lot of public attention, but comically verbose texts between Ryan Reynolds and Hollywood agents provides far more interesting information. This pod covers Blake's deposition, texts between Blake and Taylor, and Ryan venting to an agent at WME.  All opinions are personal and not representative of any outside company, person, or agenda.

TRIGGER WARNING: Extremely graphic descriptions of SA, torture, alleged murder, and sadistic harm against women, children, and animals.  Part 2 picks up with us all somehow going on with life in America after hearing some the most startling allegations to come out of the Trump/Epstein world to date. Then, we dive back into recent and distant records, articles, social media posts, and public information in an attempt to fact check as much as possible. The most surprising element of Sascha Riley's allegations is how easily they makes sense, how many supporting details can be found, and how many facts can be checked. I present my list of findings and reasons why I believe the claims to be plausible. Sascha Riley and the independent journalist who interviewed them, Lisa Noelle Voldeng, leave listeners with the knowledge that they're both going off to go dig for documentation and facts as of July 2025 when the "Don't Worry. Boys are hard to find." interview tapes wrapped, so we will hopefully hear more soon.   Lisa Noelle Voldeng's Substack Post: https://lisevoldeng.substack.com/p/dont-worry-boys-are-hard-to-find All opinions are personal and not representative of any outside company, person, or agenda.

TRIGGER WARNING: Extremely graphic descriptions of alleged SA, torture, murder, and sadistic harm against women, children, and animals.  Part 1 explains who Sascha Riley is, major takeaways from the six interview tapes, what details I was able to research, and why I believe this victim. Sascha Riley is stated to be a Veteran of the U.S. Army who has been trying to get public attention on allegations of sex trafficking by his adoptive father, William (Bill) Riley, who worked with and/or for Jeffrey Epstein. The tapes describe a childhood of being sex trafficked, abused, and vividly remembering several current U.S. politicians either participating in, or being in attendance, at trafficking events. He provides an array of details spanning exact names, places, facilities, and indicates when and where there should be trails of police reports and Child Protective Services (CPS) reports. BONUS: An article researching the origins and crimes of unhealed man, hypocrite, and ICE Lead, Greg Bovino Part 2 delves into more details from the tapes, what I was able to research, what I found, and why I believe Sascha's life story.

The finale of Real Housewives of Salt Lake City ends both Season 6 and their trip to Greece. Meredith's moods remain the focus for the ladies as they continue to worry about her from afar, while also challenging her wherever possible. The friendship between Bronwyn and Meredith, that seems to be based in off-camera tea spilling, comes to a head when they disagree on their latest topic of discussion. Angie shares more about her Greek heritage via a cousin who joins the ladies for lunch and the women chat with a playwright to develop their very own Greek tragedy. The episode culminates in that event where the play wastes no time cutting each woman to their core and leads to a true tragedy of seeing Meredith open up to them, only for wineglass-wielding Heather to jump in and spoil the progress.  All opinions are personal and not representative of any outside company, person, or agenda.

This week the world watched the murder of an American mother before she was rapidly slandered by the highest offices while her killer was sheltered and protected. Then, the Vice President declared the masked men of ICE, an agency with a long history of abuses, to have "absolute immunity". Despite that, and the FBI taking full control of the "investigation" into Renee Good's murder, the local District Attorney has decided to pursue charges against seasoned ICE agent Jonathan Ross. Detailing recent murders and deaths in detainment, summarizing video showing myriad abuses of power, including current abuses against women and members of the LGBTQ+ community, plus the history of Border Patrol's tactics, all help to illustrate the severity of the situation and why "comply or die" is the opposite of living in the land of the free. Amidst a time of chaos and intimidation, knowing your rights, protecting yourself, contributing however you can, staying engaged, and discerning between fact and propaganda is more important than ever.

The trip to Greece continues as the ladies enjoy a cliffside photography session and a positive mood shift from Meredith. After splintering into groups for spa and lunch excursions, ASMR infighting begins at the spa after Britani dares to splash water droplets on freshly coiffed hair. At the lunch, Mary and Whitney bond over expressing genuine concern for Meredith's volatile behaviors of late and Bronwyn brings up an interaction with Seth. At dinner, Lisa targets Britani with accusations that stem from their yacht trip and Heather defends her stance to again stick up for Britani under fire. The episode ends with the women getting kicked out of a restaurant in "Angie's country", and tees up what appears to be an explosive finale. BONUS: Fun facts about the Pando, the largest living organism on earth All opinions are personal and not representative of any outside company, person, or agenda.

Amidst their trip to Greece, the Real Housewives celebrate Mother's Day by first defending themselves against any archaic notions that they should feel guilty about being on a fun trip on a day dedicated to celebrating the unpaid labor and mental load of a mother that makes vacations necessary. The lingering issues between Meredith and the group continue to cause issues until no amount of pouting and projecting can save her from having to handle multiple confrontations. Heather continues to hold the line while also stirring the pot, Mary again tries to advise Meredith while also expressing concern for her, Bronwyn makes a bad behavior chart, and Angie and Britani hit a road bumpitz over the trademark of "high bodycount hair".

Part 2 of this two-part dive into the recent batch of released Epstein files kicks off by naming more of the men photographed in the Epstein files who seemingly enjoyed the spoils of supporting his network, from magician David Copperfield, to disgraced movie director Brett Ratner, to named co-conspirator, and infamous predator disguised as a model scout, Jean-Luc Brunel. With more released documentation of what victims were reporting over the years, and who could have taken action, the number of people who chose to look the other way is astounding. A startling FBI Tip from an alleged victim regarding Epstein and Trump's involvement in crimes against her at 13-years old on Lake Michigan takes us on a historical dive into forced business connections with that area that span decades. Several victim statements and allegations are reviewed, and throughout, we see the impact of Virginia Giuffre's bravery to pursue legal action against Ghislaine Maxwell and speak publicly.  All opinions are personal and not representative of any outside company, person, or agenda.

Part 1 of this two-part dive into the recent batch of released Epstein files begins with a 2020 email between prosecutors about seeing Trump's name on flight logs. From there, we delve into the banking world and learn more about key players like James Edward "Jes" Staley, a man accused of enabling suspicious financial activity, and review some of his predatory and intimate email exchanges with Epstein. Then, we meet one of Epstein's ten co-conspirators (only three of whom have been named) Ohio billionaire Les Wexner, and hear survivor Maria Farmer's statements that shed more light on the levels of his involvement. Lastly, a look at the legal filing involving allegations of a 13-year old victim who attended Michigan's Camp Interlocken in 1994, stating Epstein made contact with her as a former camper turned benefactor before introducing her to Trump at Mar-a-Lago as a "good one". Part 1 closes with documented comments from Mark Epstein to the FBI about his belief concerning his brother's death.  BONUS: a rant about how the inequities of our current economic structure and tax code facilitate a "predator and prey" class system  All opinions are personal and not representative of any outside company, person, or agenda.

An ironic fixation on America's upcoming 250th celebration of independence from an oppressive monarchy that overtaxed its people has led to the announcement of various projects like, "The Patriot Games", and yes, it's similar to The Hunger Games but without the style or literacy. Also, discussing the scandalously accurate Vanity Fair article and photos, new burn book-esque plaques lining a cheaply gilded White House walkway, military funds getting rebranded "Warrior Dividends", and how tariffs continue to get more undeserved hype than a nepo baby. Plus, updates on ICE's continued illegal actions, a haunting nuclear mystery, retaliation from the CDC, the progression of censorship and state-run media, and a dedication to destroying the planet in ignorant bliss.  All opinions are personal and not representative of any outside company, person, or agenda.
