How Men Think with Brooks Laich & Gavin DeGraw

An unthinkable story out of Missouri as police charge a 10-year-old boy with murder after they say he shot and killed his 7-month-old niece. The boy is the youngest person in that state’s history to be charged with murder. The baby’s 19-year-old father is also being held accountable for the shooting. Ca'Marion Pawnell has been charged with second degree murder because it was his gun, stored under his mattress, that police say his 10-year-old used to shoot baby Kiyomi Parker.

Just four days after the last day of classes, an exterminator investigating a “foul odor” found the shocking source of the smell inside a New York City school’s chimney: a decomposing body. Investigators are now trying to determine if any construction workers in the area are missing, as the school was under renovations. Police are also looking into whether foul play may be involved. While there were no students or teachers inside the building at the time of the macabre discovery, several students have told reporters they’d been complaining of a bad smell for weeks leading up to the last day of school.

As promised, New Jersey Congressman Tom Kean Jr. delivered a speech on the House floor to explain missing 140 votes and 4 months of work. Kean said he was diagnosed with depression and upon advice of his doctors, he remained in the hospital for treatment to battle the disease. And while most were sympathetic and wished him well, many also took issue with his message which they say was tone-deaf and wreaked of privilege.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The allegations are that Titi threatened to assault and even shoot this woman over an ex-boyfriend. While court records show the restraining order was granted, it was later dismissed.

Kean hasn’t been seen publicly since March 5th and has missed more than 100 votes over the past four months.

All eyes were on a South Carolina courthouse today as 58-year-old Alex Murdaugh once again faces double murder charges for the shooting deaths of his wife and son. Murdaugh’s attorneys had him stand dramatically making the point his appearance as a convicted criminal could taint a potential jury pool. Hear how the new judge ruled on everything from what Murdaugh can wear in court, to a new DNA testing request, to a change of venue motion.

Casa Amor bombshell Alannah Keyser issued an on-camera apology after being kicked out of the villa for a newly resurfaced video showing her singing the N word. Her apology is actually a lesson in how not to apologize. Keyser used the old “it was never my intention” and “if you were offended” lines coupled with a vague denial of screen shots showing her using the n-word. Her video left us with more questions than answers, and did not explain her actions in the villa on day one, when she skipped over kissing all the black men at Casa Amor.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What started off as a cute story line, the budding bromance between Zach and Bryce, has now become downright confusing. Each episode, the two get more and more physical with one another, even simulating sex. Zach has dry humped Bryce on more than one occasion, Bryce has shown Zach his penis; they’ve shared lounge chairs and even held hands at one point. In the most recent episode, Zach threw a cake in Trintiy’s face for being jealous of his and Bryce’s cozy relationship. Is this just how a younger generation of heterosexual men behave these days, or is something else going on between the two? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What a gutting way to open the episode, showing Aniya on the ground sobbing over KC, Melanie by her side, while the Casa Amor ladies laugh and scoff at Aniya’s emotional reaction. Thankfully, and surprisingly, throughout the episode we see the Villa girls and the Casa Amor girls actually put aside their differences and apologize for bad behavior. But things got sticky literally and figuratively during the cake challenge, with Megan Thee Stallion hosting the game looking fierce, and speaking truth to the boys! It all ends with the surprise we saw coming, Carl and Amora are back, and ready to stir up everything! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A California couple vacationing in Puerto Vallarta leapt into action after hearing a man screaming in the ocean in front of their resort. The tourists jumped into a kayak to try and save the 28-year-old who was being attacked by a crocodile, but the creature eventually pulled him underwater. The man’s body wasn’t found until the following morning, but in meantime, the couple says they were shocked to see the beach remain open and families swimming in the same waters where the attack happened hours earlier.

The once prominent low country lawyer accused of murdering his wife and son, is back in court this morning, preparing for a new trial. 59-year-old Alex Murdaugh remains behind bars after pleading guilty to state and federal financial crimes, but he maintains his innocence in the murders of his family. There will be cameras in the courtroom as his lawyers fight for more DNA testing, a change of venue and despite a lengthy back and forth with prosecutors, we will likely see Murdaugh shackled, in his prison issued jumpsuit.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A new dating trend is taking over TikTok and before you roll your eyes, dating experts say it’s actually a cry for help. This idea that women will only accept the physically perfect man: six feet, six figures, six pack and six inches, is pure fantasy. And it’s not fantasy versus reality, it’s fantasy versus intimacy and that equals loneliness. It may even be considered a form of self sabotage that feels safe because there’s no one who could meet those requirements. However, dating experts say there are real questions we should all be asking of potential partners, and it has nothing to do with the four sixes.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Say it ain’t so, poor Vanilla Ice. Just hours after the 90’s artist put up a video on social media, enthusiastically telling fans how excited he was to perform on the National Mall to celebrate America’s 250th anniversary, the group hosting the event announced it was being cancelled due to “inclement weather.” The issue, D.C. meteorologists were only predicting possible scattered showers, leading many people to believe the concert was actually cancelled because of low attendance concerns. Vanilla Ice was just one of two artists who agreed to perform after a handful of other 90s singers and groups all cancelled, not wanting to be associated with the Trump administration. For now, only Flo Rida is still scheduled to perform next week… let’s hold onto our apple bottom jeans and see what happens!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In our most recent episode about Pride month, we referenced our interview with Captain Sandy from Below Deck Mediterranean and her wife Leah. Here it is! We had the pleasure to sit down and talk with the happily married couple about their unconventional love story and Sandy had a drop the mic moment when describing why she thinks gay love is sometimes received negatively. We’re all too focused on the sex part of the relationship rather than the love.

We’re recording this episode as we get ready to celebrate the annual Pride March here in New York City, a huge parade steeped in history, going back to the 1969 police raid on the Stonewall on this very date, Joe 28th.

In fact, several states have even chosen counter programming for the month, labeling June as Nuclear Family Month, Strong Families Month, or even Fidelity Month.

So many people are skeptical of the love story that brought us to tears last night: watching Bryce and Trinity reuniting after pining away for one another in Casa Amor. Come on, how could they each fake those tearful confessionals apart? How could they know what the other was feeling or thinking, and when would they have had a private space to come up with a plan? Nah, we believe in their slow burn friendship turned romance and we are rooting for them to the very end. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Amy asks T.J. on behalf of all the confused women watching Love Island, why in the hell would K.C. dump beautiful, sweet, smart Aniya for a sassy woman he just met three days ago? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

During last night’s recoupling, we saw the girls each praise the Casa Amor man they coupled up with, some even saying they were the “perfect man.” Then we heard Melanie, Kayda and Aniya all criticize the boy they had been coupled up with, talking about the hurt and distrust they felt for them. But when decision time came, they all dumped the nice guys, the men who they said all made them feel seen and validated. Amy and T.J. talk about why it seems, nice guys always finish last. Stay tuned for our next episode, where T.J. explains why K.C. dumped sweet Aniya for Titi.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

TMZ is reporting that it has authenticated a new note received today by the same person who has contacted the organization multiple times following the abduction of Nancy Guthrie. In the latest note, TMZ says the author claims there were two kidnappers and that he has video of the “main guy” with Nancy on the day that she died.

20 minutes into last night’s Love Island episode, the narrator made a brief announcement saying only that Alanna had left Casa Amor. And that was it, no explanation. Fans of the show have been demanding her removal following video that surfaced of 21-year-old Alannah Keyser singing the “n-word” to camera, along with several concerning posts where she also uses the racial slur. Meantime, the other big headline from episode 20: We all just fell a little more in love with Bryce and Trinity. Can they just go ahead and claim their prize? They have emerged as the couple to beat, especially after a photo card was delivered to each villa showing the boys and the girls behaving questionably with the bombshells. The episode ended with Kayda inconsolably crying, along with Melanie, and the boys rightfully worried about what will happen for the recoupling tonight.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Department of Justice has until next week to produce several emails and documents with the names of potential Epstein co-conspirators revealed. An independent journalist sued the DOJ to have access to the blacked out names, saying the government is still trying to protect “the very powerful and the very rich.” The ruling states the DOJ has to either produce the unredacted document by July 2nd or explain why the redactions should not be removed. Among the group of documents ordered released, the FBI notes from the unverified allegations of assault by one woman against Trump.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We just told you about his arrest this week, and now the former Vegas youth pastor accused of pushing his wife off a cliff 20 years ago, has died by suicide while in police custody. 49-year-old David Vander Meer was finally arrested 2 decades after the death of his wife Bernadette during an anniversary hike in 2006. Tips came in from his senior pastor at church and one of his ex-wives who was his teenaged mistress at the time of Bernadette’s death. Investigators formally charged Vander Meer with first degree murder and insurance fraud this week, but say he died of “self inflicted wounds” on Thursday.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A judge ruled 38-year-old mom of 6, Precious Bland, was not guilty by reason of insanity, for drowning her 15 month old daughter Emii and then stabbing her husband and teenage daughter. Bland chose a bench trial over a jury trial and there are now calls for the judge who made the ruling to be impeached. The prosecution maintained that Bland’s defense of Covid Psychosis was fabricated, that she was actually upset because she believed her husband was having an affair. We not only discuss this shocking case, but also go into several well documented cases of post covid psychosis which includes people suffering from paranoia, delusions and hallucinations.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Just when it didn’t seem possible that Love Island producers could sexualize the Islanders any more, they introduced another challenge that quickly divulged into a barely clothed orgy on national television. One contestant even apologized to her parents afterwards…. We’re really hoping for their sakes, they fast forwarded through the segment. Looking beyond the growing ick factor of the show, there were some incredibly interesting developments in several relationships, with a couple of the boys continuing to pine away for their girls back home. And then there’s Corbin and Kenzie, who seem very satisfied in their new couples, with poor Caleb, who once again finds himself in a love triangle with Corbin. Who will recouple with someone new, and who will stay in their original couple? We make our predictions. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
