"If you really loved me, you wouldn't give up on me."Rob and Michele Reiner heard some version of that for seventeen years. And they stayed. Eighteen rehab programs. Tens of thousands a month in treatment. A guesthouse so Nick could live close. A film about recovery made together. Every door stayed open. Every line in the sand got erased.They never walked away. And now they're gone.This isn't about assigning blame for what happened — that responsibility belongs to one person. This is about the trap that keeps people standing in fires that are consuming them. The belief that presence equals protection. That love equals proximity. That walking away makes you the villain.It doesn't.Nick reportedly told his parents that refusing their suggested programs meant homelessness. That was the consequence. It never materialized. Every ultimatum softened. And some people will never hit bottom because someone's always there to prevent the fall. Your love becomes the cushion that keeps them from the crash that might actually wake them up.Three things keep you trapped. Guilt weaponization: "If you leave, I'll spiral" — making your departure the cause of their destruction. Sunk cost: you've given too much to quit now. And the fantasy of the final save: what if this was finally the moment they were ready, and you missed it?Rob brought Nick to a Christmas party because leaving him home alone felt too dangerous. A seventy-seven-year-old man couldn't go to a gathering without his adult son. That's not caregiving. That's captivity dressed as love.You're allowed to stop. You're allowed to set limits. You're allowed to survive.The Reiners stayed until there was nowhere left to stand. You don't have to make the same choice.#RobReiner #NickReiner #MicheleSingerReiner #ReinerCase #TrueCrimeToday #TrueCrime #Enabling #WalkingAway #AddictionFamily #FamilyTragedyJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Twelve days since Nancy Guthrie vanished. The FBI has released video. Eighteen thousand tips have flooded in. A suspect was detained and released. Ransom deadlines passed in silence.On True Crime Today, retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer delivers the most comprehensive breakdown of this investigation anywhere.She analyzes what the doorbell footage actually reveals about the suspect — equipment, movement, improvisation. She explains how the FBI processes eighteen thousand tips, why Carlos Palazuelos was detained and released, what the evidence trail looks like. She profiles the criminal operation — what the target selection, logistics, and ransom communication tell us about whoever did this. And she addresses the critical question: what breaks this case?Nancy Guthrie is eighty-four years old, requires daily medication, and can barely walk. Her family has publicly offered to pay. The nation is watching.

Eighteen rehab stints. Millions of dollars. A guesthouse on the property. A movie made together about healing. Rob and Michele Reiner gave Nick everything for seventeen years.They never walked away. And they're dead.This episode isn't about blame — what happened is the responsibility of one person alone. But it's about a question that haunts everyone who's ever loved someone dangerous: when does staying become its own form of destruction?We're taught that love means presence. That walking away is abandonment. That good people don't give up. But "unconditional love" got twisted somewhere into "unconditional proximity." They're not the same thing. You can love someone from a distance. You can love someone you'll never see again. You can love someone and still refuse to let them take you down with them.Nick reportedly told his parents that refusing their treatment plans meant homelessness. That was the line. But it never held. Every consequence dissolved. Every ultimatum evaporated. Some people never hit bottom because someone's always there to catch them — and your outstretched hands become the floor preventing the fall that might actually save them.The trap has three parts. Guilt weaponization: your departure becomes the cause of their destruction. Sunk cost: you've invested too much to walk away now. The final save fantasy: what if you leave right when they were finally ready?Rob Reiner brought Nick to a Christmas party because he was reportedly afraid to leave him home alone. A seventy-seven-year-old man couldn't attend a holiday event without his thirty-two-year-old son in tow. That's not supervision. That's hostage behavior.You're allowed to stop. Walking away isn't betrayal — it's the recognition that your presence isn't saving anyone.

Eighteen thousand calls to the tip line. A delivery driver detained because his eyes resembled the masked suspect — questioned for hours, home searched, then released. A black glove recovered in the desert. FBI Director Kash Patel bypassing official channels to post evidence himself.On True Crime Today, retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer explains how the FBI is actually managing this investigation.She walks through how tip lines function at this scale — the categorization, the prioritization, the difference between actionable intelligence and noise. She breaks down what the Palazuelos detention reveals about where investigators stand. She explains the evidentiary chain for the recovered glove and what a DNA match would mean.Neighbors are being asked about trucks. The sheriff insists no vehicle of interest has been identified. No press briefing in a week. A tent appeared at Nancy's front door for ninety minutes with no explanation.Nancy Guthrie has been missing for twelve days. Her family is publicly offering to pay ransom.

Everywhere he went, Jeremiah warned people that their land would be subjugated, their way of life would be destroyed, and that they would become slaves of a government they did not choose.Jeremiah is remembered today as “the weeping prophet.”He was earnest, sincere, and entirely correct, but no one wants to be told that they have an inescapable appointment with a dentist and a gastroenterologist to receive a simultaneous root canal and colonoscopy in the outdoors during a rainstorm.Jeremiah painted a dark sky without a single ray of sunlight shining through. This is why no one ever gave Jeremiah a microphone, an audience, and a big pile of money to be their guest speaker.Polyanna was 11 years old in 1913, and she still rides around on her adorable little pony radiating sunshine and rainbows everywhere she goes. Pollyanna tells everyone who will listen that a magical genie will give you whatever you want if you just smile and laugh and think happy thoughts.Pollyanna is even less popular than Jeremiah. I promise I'm not making this up.Google tells me that Jeremiah remains a popular name for boys, always ranked in the top 100. Pollyanna is not nearly so popular among girls. It currently ranks somewhere between number 8,284 and number 13,776.Jeremiah and Pollyanna became the topic of conversation while I was comparing notes with Ryan Deiss and Jet Eisenberg and Robert Grebe during lunch last week. We were trying to figure out why we were suddenly seeing a sharp uptick in public speaking requests.We all agreed that a general feeling of unrest is shining out of every television screen and blowing through the ductwork of every home in America.That's when Deiss said,“No one wants Jeremiah. No one wants Pollyanna. People are looking for someone who is aware of current difficulties, but who can also see a clear path forward.”It was one of those moments when everyone at the table instantly knew that Truth had been spoken.No one wants to hear the gloom and doom of Jeremiah right now. And no one wants to ride the pony or drink the sugarwater of Pollyanna.People are just looking for a promising path forward.My partner Todd Liles has been trying to tell me this for several months, but Ryan Deiss was able to condense it into a metaphor of paired opposites, the lightning bolt that is most likely to pierce my hard head and illuminate my mindMarcus Aurelius Antoninus was the last of the Five Good Emperors of Rome. Eighteen hundred years ago he wrote,“Never let the future disturb you. You will meet it, if you have to, with the same weapons of reason which today arm you against the present.”Lucius Annaeus Seneca was born in the same year that Jesus was born. Late in his life, Seneca said,“True happiness is to enjoy the present without anxious dependence on the future.”But Jesus had already said the same thing thirty years earlier during his famous Sermon on the Mount. Jesus was teaching us to live in the present when he said,“Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.”Do not fret about an imaginary future.You will deal with the actual future when it arrives.Roy H. Williams

Eighteen thousand tips. A suspect detained and released. Evidence recovered in the desert. And the FBI director personally posting footage to social media.Tonight on Hidden Killers Live, retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer breaks down what's actually happening inside the Nancy Guthrie investigation.How does the FBI process this volume of tips? Why was Carlos Palazuelos detained for hours then released without charges? What happens to the black glove found 1.5 miles from the home? Why are neighbors being asked about trucks when the sheriff says no vehicle of interest exists? And what was the tent that appeared at Nancy's front door for ninety minutes this morning?Coffindaffer spent twenty-two years at the Bureau. She knows how these investigations work — and where they stall.

Have you felt a little off lately? Try 18 months. In this episode, I share what a long winter season has taught me, and how a simple sound in the cold air reminded me that change doesn't always arrive loudly. Sometimes you feel it before you see it.

Eighteen thousand tips. But someone out there still hasn't called.A neighbor who saw something. A coworker who's noticed something off. A family member protecting someone. A friend who heard something and told themselves it was nothing. The tip that breaks the Nancy Guthrie case is probably sitting in someone's head right now — and they haven't made the call.Former FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke spent his career getting people to talk. He served as Chief of the Bureau's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program. He recruited spies. He built trust with people who had every reason to stay silent. He knows why people hold back — and what finally opens them up.In this interview, Dreeke breaks down witness psychology. The different reasons people don't call. The person who doesn't realize what they know is important. The person scared of the spotlight. The person protecting someone they love. Each barrier is different. Each requires a different approach.What makes someone finally break their silence? What tips the scale from protection to confession? How do investigators reach the person who has information but hasn't connected it to this case?Dreeke speaks directly to whoever's out there with a piece of this puzzle.

Cameras on every doorbell. GPS tracking in every phone. Digital footprints everywhere. We assume the surveillance world we live in makes vanishing impossible.Nancy Guthrie proves otherwise.Twelve days into this investigation. More than a hundred investigators. FBI resources deployed. Eighteen thousand tips. And an eighty-four-year-old woman with a doorbell camera, a pacemaker app, and family nearby is gone without a trace. No vehicle of interest. No named suspects. Nothing.Former FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke spent twenty-one years in counterintelligence — a world where people professionally try to avoid detection. He served as Chief of the Bureau's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program. He knows the blind spots because he spent his career watching people exploit them.In this interview, Dreeke confronts the question this case demands: how does someone vanish in 2026? What are the gaps in the surveillance architecture we trust? What would an extraction from a home like Nancy's actually require? And what does this case reveal about the difference between the security we think we have and the security that actually exists?We're told you can't disappear anymore.

At Conan O'Brien's Christmas party, Rob Reiner reportedly told friends he was afraid his son could hurt him. He and Michele drove home anyway. By morning, both were dead, and Nick Reiner was in custody. This case isn't about whether the signs were visible. It's about why they weren't enough.The Reiners spent fifteen years and millions trying to save Nick from addiction. Eighteen rehab stays. Sixty thousand dollars monthly. Professional interventionists. Addiction counselors who explicitly warned them: your son is manipulating you. For years, Rob and Michele followed protocol. Then they reversed everything. By 2015, both publicly apologized for trusting professionals over Nick. They adopted his framework — that the treatment system, not their son, was the problem.What followed was a systematic dismantling of every protective boundary. A schizophrenia diagnosis. Seventy thousand monthly in psychiatric costs. Nick living in the guesthouse mere feet from their bedroom. A family orbiting one person's chaos while their own identities evaporated.This episode breaks down the mechanics of enabling that becomes fatal. The daily nervous system hijacking where you assess threat levels before breakfast. The isolation that happens so slowly you blame yourself for having no friends. The psychological reversal where your concerns become your betrayal of someone you love. Michele spoke about this openly — the moment she and Rob decided the experts were wrong about their son.This is required listening for anyone watching a family disappear into addiction management. The patterns are recognizable. The ending doesn't have to be the same.#RobReiner #NickReiner #MicheleReiner #TrueCrimeToday #AddictionCrisis #ConanOBrien #CelebrityCrime #FamilyTragedy #NarcissisticAbuse #BeingCharlieJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Rob Reiner stood at Conan O'Brien's Christmas party reportedly telling friends his son could hurt him. He went home anyway. Hours later, he and Michele were dead. This episode doesn't ask why Nick Reiner allegedly killed his parents. It asks why they stayed.Eighteen rehab facilities. Sixty thousand dollars a month. Fifteen years of trying. Rob and Michele Reiner did everything addiction experts told them to do — until they stopped. When counselors warned that Nick was manipulating them, they initially complied. Then came a reversal that cost them everything. By 2015, both parents publicly apologized for trusting professionals over their son. They rebuilt reality around Nick being the victim.This is a clinical examination of how narcissistic manipulation and addiction hijack family systems. The morning threat assessments before coffee. The social isolation that happens so gradually you don't notice until everyone's gone. The psychological inversion where you raise legitimate safety concerns and end up apologizing for being unsupportive. Michele Reiner described exactly this pattern publicly. She and Rob came to believe the experts analyzing their son were the problem.We walk through the decision architecture that kept them in danger. The schizophrenia diagnosis that added another layer of complexity. Seventy thousand monthly for psychiatric care. Nick in the guesthouse a hundred feet away. A party full of people who reportedly saw what was coming while his parents saw a bad night, not a breaking point.This episode is essential for understanding how good people with unlimited resources and genuine love can be systematically disabled from protecting themselves.

A Florida teen vanished in October 2021 shortly after he began talking to a girl from his high school in Miramar. Eighteen-year-old Dwight "DJ" Grant never came home after he went to hang out with one of his classmates Christie Parisien. Two days later investigators found the body of Grant in the bushes behind an apartment complex. Police soon set their sights on Parisien and two of Grant's other classmates Andre Clements and Jaslyn Smith. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Eighteen thousand tips and counting. Body language experts on every platform. Family videos analyzed frame by frame by people who've never worked a case. The Nancy Guthrie investigation has become a national obsession — and everyone thinks they're qualified to solve it.Former FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke spent twenty-one years at the Bureau, including time as Chief of the Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program. He knows how to read people. He also knows the difference between professional behavioral assessment and what happens when millions of untrained observers decide they can spot guilt from a two-minute video.In this interview, Dreeke breaks down the audience problem. The Guthrie family is performing grief under a microscope — they know every word will be analyzed, every pause interpreted, every gesture judged. That self-consciousness changes how they present themselves. And then the public reads those changes as suspicious.Investigators are drowning in tips from people who genuinely believe they've spotted something. Most are wrong. Some are based on nothing more than gut feelings after watching videos online. How do you filter signal from that kind of noise?And the perpetrator is part of the audience too. Watching the coverage. Tracking the theories. Seeing how close — or how far — the investigation appears to be.Is all this attention helping solve the case? Or is it making everything harder?#NancyGuthrie #RobinDreeke #TrueCrimeToday #FBIBehavioral #AmateurDetectives #SavannahGuthrie #BodyLanguage #TipLine #InternetSleuths #MissingPersonJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Everyone's a behavioral analyst now. Eighteen thousand tips have flooded the Nancy Guthrie investigation — most of them wrong, many based on gut feelings from people watching family videos online. Reddit threads are dissecting body language. Comment sections are full of accusations. The entire country has become an amateur investigation unit.Former FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke ran the Bureau's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program. He spent twenty-one years learning how to actually read people. In this interview, he explains what mass observation does to a case — and everyone caught in it.The Guthrie family knows they're being watched. Every video statement gets torn apart. Every pause analyzed. Every blink interpreted by people with no training. Dreeke breaks down the feedback loop: the public watches, the family becomes self-conscious, their behavior changes, and the public reads that change as suspicious. Innocent people start looking guilty — and investigators have to cut through all that noise to find the truth.Then there's the perpetrator. They're watching too.

What happens when the whole country becomes an investigation unit?Eighteen thousand tips. Every family video dissected. Body language analyzed by millions of people who've never interviewed a witness or worked a case. The Nancy Guthrie investigation isn't just being run by the FBI — it's being judged in real time by an audience that thinks watching true crime makes them experts.Former FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke joins us live. He ran the Bureau's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program. He spent his career learning how to actually read people — not from videos on social media, but through years of training and real-world application. Tonight he explains what mass observation does to a case like this.What happens when the family knows millions are watching their every word? Why self-consciousness makes innocent people look guilty. How investigators sort through thousands of tips from amateur analysts who are certain they've cracked the case. And what the perpetrator is experiencing right now, watching themselves be dissected by strangers.The public thinks it's helping. Dreeke explains when it does — and when it makes everything worse.#NancyGuthrie #RobinDreeke #HiddenKillersLive #FBIExpert #TrueCrimeLive #SavannahGuthrie #BehavioralAnalysis #InternetSleuths #MissingPerson #TipLineJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Sam Archambault and Eddie Foote, Jr join the pod this week to discuss a 5 Generation Teaching, Talking Circle Topics, Personal Growth, and Positivity.

Eighteen years in, and we're still in the middle of reinvention. From starting Hilliard Studio Method in borrowed spaces to navigating real estate pressure and big-city change, this conversation gets honest about what it takes to build a business rooted in community; not ego or profit. We talk about aging without apology, trusting yourself when the noise gets loud, and why protecting the people who make your business what it is will always come first. If you're building something from the heart and refusing to let fear run the show, this one's for you.   Local Charlotte Businesses You Can Support: Supperland – A Plaza Midwood restaurant in a restored church, run by Jeff Tonidandel & Jamie Brown, who invest in community and historic preservation Laurel Market – A beloved neighborhood deli and market with decades of Charlotte history, now entering a new chapter as it relocates after 35+ years Bond Street Wines – A local wine shop and tasting room that brings people together over thoughtfully curated bottles and community events   3 Truths About Building a Community-Driven Business: Lead with impact first, and let the money catch up. The strongest businesses aren't built by chasing profit; they're built by solving real problems for real people. When your work genuinely improves lives, financial success becomes a byproduct, not the goal. Reinvention is part of longevity, not a sign of failure. Every long-lasting business will be forced to evolve, by aging, markets, or circumstances beyond your control. The key isn't avoiding change, but adapting without abandoning the values that made your business matter in the first place. Community doesn't live in a building, it lives in trust. Spaces may change and platforms may shift, but people stay where they feel seen! Whether in person or online, consistency, care, and connection are what turn customers into a community.  

For any parent listening to this podcast who worries that time hasn't ‘fixed' their grief—this conversation is proof that there is no timeline we need to meet.  Eighteen years after losing her daughter Heather to brain cancer, Holly Caron shows us what enduring love looks like—quiet, honest, and deeply present. This conversation affirms what so many families live but rarely hear acknowledged: Grief has no expiration date. Love does not fade with time—and neither does the bond between a mother and her child.Resources cited in this podcast:Hospice Volunteers of Waterville Area: https://www.hvwa.org/The Center for Grieving Children: https://www.cgcmaine.org/What did you think?

Eighteen rehab stays. Unlimited resources. Two parents who showed up for every therapy session while other wealthy families sent handlers. And it allegedly ended with Rob and Michele Reiner stabbed to death in their Brentwood home.Everyone wants to talk about what failed Nick Reiner—the system, the medication changes, the revolving door of treatment centers. But what if nothing failed him? What if he simply refused to let anything work?True Crime Today examines Nick Reiner's own words across nearly a decade of interviews. On the Dopey podcast, he admitted to throwing a rock through a window specifically to "prove he was crazy" and manipulate staff into giving him drugs. He co-wrote a film—Being Charlie—that blamed his father for his failures, and convinced Rob Reiner to direct it. He got his parents to publicly apologize for listening to doctors.Then we hear from Danny Spilar, who shared a rehab room with Nick when both were 15. According to Danny, the hatred was already there. Nick would stay up ranting about his parents. He was violent with other teens. He blamed everything on his parents' fame—not addiction, not mental illness.Danny says he knew instantly who killed Rob and Michele when he saw the headlines. He doesn't buy the insanity defense Nick is reportedly planning. And he thinks jurors won't either when they hear Nick's own admissions.This isn't about excusing systems or condemning mental illness. It's about examining what happens when victimhood becomes a lifestyle—when the people trying to save you become the enemy simply because they want you to live.For families living this nightmare right now—this one's for you.#NickReiner #RobReiner #MicheleSingerReiner #DannySpilar #TrueCrimeToday #InsanityDefense #BeingCharlie #Addiction #BrentwoodMurder #FamilyTragedyJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

On the Dopey podcast, Nick Reiner admitted to throwing a rock through a window specifically to "prove he was crazy" and manipulate staff into giving him drugs. That wasn't speculation from a prosecutor. That was Nick, in his own words, explaining how he gamed the system.Now he's reportedly expected to plead not guilty by reason of insanity for the stabbing deaths of his parents, Rob and Michele Reiner.This episode traces Nick Reiner's cognitive architecture across nearly a decade of interviews and podcast appearances. We examine how he convinced his parents to publicly apologize for listening to doctors. How he co-wrote a film—Being Charlie—that blamed his father for his failures, and got Rob Reiner to direct it. How he chose homelessness over following rules, knowing the safety net would always be there.Then we hear from Danny Spilar, who shared a room with Nick in a $60,000-a-month Malibu rehab when both were teenagers. According to Danny, the hatred was there from the beginning. Nick would stay up after lights out ranting about his parents. He was violent—attacking another teen, getting physical with Danny. And he blamed everything on his parents' fame.This wasn't after years of drug damage. This was the baseline.Danny says he knew exactly who killed Rob and Michele the moment he saw the headlines. He doesn't buy the insanity defense. And he thinks jurors won't either—not when they hear Nick's own admissions about manipulating treatment providers.Eighteen rehab stays. Two parents who never stopped trying.

Eighteen hundred episodes calls for something special, and what better way to celebrate than by dragging the absolute worst money advice into the light and laughing at it together? Special guest and CFP Sarah Catherine Guiterrez from Aptus Financial joins Joe Saul-Sehy, Neighbor Doug, Paula Pant (Afford Anything), and Jesse Cramer (Personal Finance for Long Term Investors) for a rapid-fire, no mercy takedown of the most damaging financial clichés ever passed down at family dinners, car dealerships, and internet comment sections. This episode is equal parts group therapy, myth-busting, and friendly argument. Exactly the kind of chaos that's kept the Stacking Benjamins basement standing for 1,800 shows. What You'll Hear in This Milestone Episode: • The most cringeworthy financial advice the panel has ever heard and why it sticks around • Why phrases like "just let the bank take it" quietly wreck long-term wealth • How YOLO thinking sneaks into financial decisions disguised as confidence • The difference between common advice and useful advice • Sarah Catherine's planner level perspective on why bad advice feels comforting • Paula and Jesse sparring over long term thinking versus short term emotion • OG bringing strategy, clarity, and the occasional eye roll • Neighbor Doug doing what he does best: poking holes, cracking jokes, and keeping everyone honest • Why car buying advice is one of the most misunderstood areas in personal finance • How trivia, travel, and history collide in a surprisingly competitive game segment • What Singapore's founding teaches us about perspective, patience, and getting the facts right • Why smart money decisions usually sound boring but work anyway This Episode Is For You If: • You've ever heard money advice and thought, "Wait, people actually believe that?" • You're tired of conflicting financial wisdom and want validation that some of it IS terrible • You've been burned by advice that sounded good but cost you money • You want to hear smart people argue about what actually works versus what just sounds good • You've been with us since episode 1, or just wandered into the basement and want to celebrate This episode is a love letter to Stackers who question conventional wisdom and trust their gut when advice doesn't add up. It's loud, opinionated, funny, and packed with reminders that the best financial moves often start by ignoring the advice everyone else is shouting. Learn more about your ad choices.

Eighteen months ago, Tyler Cloutier appeared on the show with what sounded like an ambitious (some might say crazy) plan: build a new distributed database from scratch, then use it to power a massively multiplayer online game. That's two of the hardest problems in software, tackled simultaneously. But sometimes the best infrastructure comes from solving your own impossible problems.The game, Bitcraft, has now launched on Steam. SpacetimeDB has hit version 1.0. And Tyler returns to share what actually happened when theory met production reality. We cover the launch day performance disasters (including a cascading failure caused by logging while holding a lock), why single-threaded execution running entirely from L1 cache can outperform sophisticated multi-threaded approaches by two orders of magnitude, and how the database's reducer model - borrowed from functional programming - enables zero-downtime code deployments. We also get into how SpacetimeDB is expanding beyond games with TypeScript support and React hooks that make building real-time multiplayer web apps surprisingly simple.If you're building anything where multiple users need to see the same data update in real time - which, as Tyler points out, describes most successful applications from Figma to Facebook - SpacetimeDB's approach of treating every app as a multiplayer game might be worth understanding.--Support Developer Voices on Patreon: https://patreon.com/DeveloperVoicesSupport Developer Voices on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@DeveloperVoices/joinSpacetimeDB: https://spacetimedb.com/SpacetimeDB on GitHub: https://github.com/clockworklabs/SpacetimeDBOur previous episode with Tyler: https://youtu.be/roEsJcQYjd8Clockwork Labs: https://clockworklabs.io/Bitcraft Online: https://bitcraftonline.com/Bitcraft on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3454650/BitCraft_OnlineWebAssembly: https://webassembly.org/Flecs (ECS for C/C++): https://www.flecs.dev/flecs/TigerBeetle: https://tigerbeetle.com/CockroachDB: https://www.cockroachlabs.com/Google Cloud Spanner: https://cloud.google.com/spannerErlang: https://www.erlang.org/Apache Kafka: https://kafka.apache.org/Tyler Cloutier on X: https://x.com/TylerFCloutierTyler Cloutier on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tylercloutier/--Kris on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/krisajenkins.bsky.socialKris on Mastodon: http://mastodon.social/@krisajenkinsKris on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/krisjenkins/0:00 Intro2:01 The Architecture of SpacetimeDB5:01 Client-Side Prediction in Multiplayer Games11:00 Reducers and Event Streaming15:00 Launching Bitcraft on Steam19:00 Debugging Launch Performance Problems26:56 Hot-Swapping Server Code Without Downtime30:01 In-Memory Tables and Query Optimization42:00 Is SpacetimeDB Only For Games?51:00 Performance Benchmarking For Web Workloads55:00 Why Single-Threaded Beats Multi-Threaded1:00:01 Multi-Version Concurrency Control Trade-offs1:05:01 Sharding Data Across Multiple Nodes1:10:56 Inter-Module Communication and Actor Models1:17:00 Replication and the Write-Ahead Log1:24:00 Supported Client Languages1:29:00 Getting Started With SpacetimeDB1:39:02 Outro

In this installment, Daniel finds something he never expected: normalcy. A job at a local pizza place, the simple rhythm of work and home, the blessed absence of danger. After everything they've survived, boring feels like a gift.Meanwhile, Brian's podcast has exploded beyond anything he imagined. Five million downloads.Tens of thousands of community members. Emails pouring in from witnesses who've carried their secrets for decades, finally finding a place where someone believes them. A seventy-eight-year-old woman writes to share an encounter she's hidden since 1952, and Brian remembers exactly why he does this work.But success brings complications. For every credible witness, there are a dozen others whose stories fall apart under scrutiny. A construction worker from British Columbia claims an intimate encounter with a female Sasquatch, and Brian is forced to draw hard lines about what belongs on the show.Then a retired nurse from New Mexico shares something different entirely: a story of a young Navajo man brought to her hospital in 1992, speaking of being taken by "the big people," and the federal agents who confiscated every piece of evidence before intimidating him into silence. The wheat and the chaff. Sorting one from the other becomes Brian's constant burden. Then the men in black return. Different faces, same cold authority. They come with an offer: classified documents revealing decades of suppressed research, interdimensional hypotheses, everything Brian has been searching for. The price? Stop pushing for official disclosure. Become a partner in managing the truth rather than forcing it into the light. Brian refuses.Eighteen months later, they burn his studio to the ground. But fire has a way of spreading what it's meant to destroy. The attack makes national news. Donations flood in. A major network offers a television deal with full editorial control. And soon Brian finds himself leading an expedition into the Pisgah with a full production crew, thermal cameras, and night vision equipment.On the eighth night, in a hollow near where Austin Mercer vanished, the forest comes alive with wood knocks and howls. The creatures stay just beyond the cameras, too smart to be caught clearly, but their presence is undeniable.It isn't definitive proof.But it's evidence the world will have to reckon with.And at a simple wooden cross marking where Austin was last seen, Brian says a quiet prayer for all those who've disappeared into these ancient mountains, and for the truth still waiting to be found.

In this episode of Take-Away with Sam Oches, Sam talks with Jennifer Weishaupt, founder of Ruby Slipper, a breakfast, brunch, and lunch joint that first opened in New Orleans in 2008 and has since grown to 26 locations across the South. Jennifer was inspired to open Ruby Slipper after Hurricane Katrina devastated the city, and the restaurant quickly became a cornerstone of the recovering community. Eighteen years later, Ruby Slipper has turned its family-like atmosphere into a burgeoning multiunit group with a unique menu and devoted fans who've grown accustomed to the restaurants' caring hospitality. The brand recently won the fan vote in NRN's Breakfast Showdown, and Jennifer joined the podcast to share how Ruby Slipper's five core traits — being gracious, genuine, neighborly, adaptable, and optimistic — have helped it develop such loyal fans and prepare the way for even more growth.In this conversation, you'll find out why:Restaurants are an essential building block for sustaining communitiesCustomers can help you guide menu expectationsYou must be very intentional with your core values as you growA sense of place can define your brand — but you must also respect each individual locationHave feedback or ideas for Take-Away?

Most people battling addiction never get a second chance. Nick Reiner got eighteen of them. Eighteen trips to rehab facilities reportedly costing $60,000 a month. Private yoga instructors. Family therapists. A guesthouse on a $13.5 million Brentwood estate where he could land softly every time he fell. Rob and Michele Reiner never stopped showing up for their son. On December 14, 2025, they were found stabbed to death in their home. Nick was arrested that night and now faces two counts of first-degree murder. But this story isn't just about entitlement, enabling, and what happens when love without boundaries meets zero accountability. It's about a $42 billion addiction treatment industry designed to fail. The 28-day program isn't based on neuroscience—it's based on what insurance agreed to pay in the 1970s. The brain doesn't heal in 28 days. But the invoice does. Sixty percent of patients relapse within 30 days of discharge. Luxury rehabs have no obligation to track—let alone report—whether their patients actually get better. Patients learn to game the system. Facilities profit whether they live or die. We trace Nick's trajectory from childhood tantrums that derailed family yoga sessions to violent outbursts in rehab at fifteen, from destroying his parents' guesthouse on meth to a 2020 mental health conservatorship, from allegedly terrorizing guests at Conan O'Brien's Christmas party to the murders less than 24 hours later. A rehab roommate said he "knew exactly who it was" when he heard the news. A yoga instructor wrote a children's book about his behavior. Nick made disturbing admissions on the Dopey podcast about violence, theft, and moral bankruptcy. The Reiners aren't unique. They're a pattern. Parents bankrupted by hope. Kids cycling through treatment. And an industry that takes the money regardless of outcome.#NickReiner #RobReiner #MicheleReiner #RehabIndustry #AddictionCrisis #ReinerCase #SystemFailure #BrentwoodMurder #Parricide #TrueCrimeJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

It's Champions League Decision Day. All 36 teams kick off at once as the math finally becomes real across Europe. We break down the chaos, the pressure points, and what's at stake, plus takeaways from the USWNT's dominant win over Chile, MLS and Apple's evolving broadcast plans, major roster moves across the league, and more from around the global game.

By the time Nick Reiner was fifteen, he'd already learned a dangerous lesson: there is no bottom, because someone will always catch you. His parents—legendary director Rob Reiner and photographer Michele Singer Reiner—spent decades trying to save their troubled son. Eighteen rehab stints. Private wellness instructors. Family therapy. A guesthouse on their $13.5 million Brentwood estate that sources say he destroyed multiple times and they kept repairing.On December 14, 2025, Rob and Michele were found stabbed to death. Nick was arrested that night.In this Hidden Killers deep dive, we examine who Nick Reiner really was—not the redemption story from the 2015 film Being Charlie, but the darker reality hidden behind Hollywood privilege. A rehab roommate describes him as "a fucking pompous little punk" with "no sense of gratitude." A family yoga instructor recalls childhood tantrums so intense she'd "never seen a child like it." And Nick himself, on the Dopey podcast, admitted to destroying property with "no logic" and stealing medication from the elderly.We trace the path from entitled child to alleged killer—through a 2020 mental health conservatorship, a reported medication change weeks before the murders, and a Christmas party at Conan O'Brien's house where multiple guests saw a man in crisis and no one called 911. This is a story about what happens when money can't buy accountability and love becomes enabling.#NickReiner #RobReiner #MicheleReiner #HiddenKillers #TrueCrime #HollywoodMurder #ReinerMurder #Parricide #Addiction #MentalHealthJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

On this episode of LiberatED, host Kerry McDonald sits down with Emily Barnitz, founder of Zoe Learning House, a fast-growing hybrid homeschool program in New Orleans, Louisiana. Emily shares her journey from being homeschooled herself to becoming a public school teacher—and ultimately launching Zoe Learning House in fall 2024 with just 10 students in her living room. Eighteen months later, the program now serves 50 students across kindergarten through fourth grade, with plans to expand to fifth grade while maintaining small class sizes and an 8:1 student-teacher ratio. The conversation explores Zoe's Charlotte Mason–inspired, hands-on learning model; flexible enrollment options for families; and the intentional decision to prioritize educational quality over rapid scaling. Emily also offers practical insights for aspiring education entrepreneurs—on starting small, building visibility through word-of-mouth and SEO, navigating state homeschool regulations, and staying grounded in your "why" as your program grows. This episode is a must-listen for educators, homeschoolers, and founders interested in hybrid learning models that are both sustainable and deeply student-centered. *** Sign up for Kerry's free, weekly email newsletter on education trends at edentrepreneur.org.

Heather Russo is building a luxury staging business in the Boston area. And her path here? Eighteen years in insurance first. I know, right. She is like most of us out there who didn't set out to build a staging business. Today, Heather and I talk about what it really looks like to grow a staging business intentionally. From learning how to manage seasonality and capacity, to making decisions that allow the business to support long-term goals instead of constant burnout. We talk about the moment success starts to stretch you, why hiring often has to happen before you feel ready, and the shift from doing all the things to teaching, documenting, and letting go of control. Heather also shares what changed when she brought on support and later welcomed her husband, Tony, into the business to help with operations and growth. If you're in a season of growth and figuring out what needs to change so the business can keep up, you'll hear yourself in this one.   WHAT YOU'LL LEARN FROM THIS EPISODE: Why the term "hobby business" is damaging to women in this industry and needs to retire How to price your services when you're not making money 12 months out of the year The signs you've hit capacity and actually need help What it's really like bringing your spouse into the business as a partner   RESOURCES:   Apply for Private Coaching: www.rethinkhomeinteriors.com/privatecoachingapp Enroll in Staging Business School Accelerate Track: www.rethinkhomeinteriors.com/accelerate Join the Staging Business School Growth Track Waitlist: www.rethinkhomeinteriors.com/growth Follow the Staging Business School on Instagram: www.instagram.com/stagingbusinessschool Follow Lori on Instagram: www.instagram.com/rethinkhome Rethink Home Interiors: rethinkhomeinteriors.com/ Glen Street Staging on Instagram: www.instagram.com/glenstreetstaging Glen Street Staging: glenstreetstaging.com   If you want to learn how to streamline your operations so you can grow with less stress and burnout in your staging business, enrollment is open for Staging Business School Accelerate Track.

Thirty seconds. That's how long Deputy Public Defender Kimberly Greene had to meet Nick Reiner before his court hearing began. She was informed the night before that Alan Jackson was withdrawing. She told reporters she'd never spoken to the Reiner family. She didn't believe they even knew Jackson was leaving.Jackson spent three weeks on the case. Every waking hour. Ten subpoenas, now sealed. Then he stood outside the courthouse and declared Nick "not guilty of murder" under California law — a statement that sounded less like a goodbye and more like the opening of an insanity defense he won't get to argue.Greene has nineteen years of experience. The LA County Public Defender's Office has a strong track record in capital cases — between 2006 and 2015, only one of their clients was sentenced to death out of thirty capital appeals. But she's inheriting a case mid-investigation, with sealed documents and a defense strategy she didn't design.Rob and Michele Reiner spent seventeen years funding their son's treatment. Eighteen rehab stints. Seventy thousand dollars monthly. A ten-thousand-dollar allowance. A rent-free guest house.

Habib Balian is leading the prosecution against Nick Reiner. If that name sounds familiar, it should. He prosecuted the Menendez brothers. He prosecuted Robert Durst. Now he's handling the case of a man who reportedly admits killing his parents but allegedly doesn't understand why he's in jail.According to TMZ sources, Nick Reiner believes his incarceration is part of a conspiracy against him. That could be textbook psychosis from his documented schizoaffective disorder. It could also be the groundwork for an insanity defense being laid in public consciousness before trial. His own father admitted that experts repeatedly told the family Nick was "lying or manipulating them." Eighteen rehab stays. A fortune spent on treatment. And still, his parents couldn't determine when to believe him.The TMZ documentary revealed that Nick's medication was changed approximately one month before the murders because he complained about weight gain. Sources say the medication still isn't stabilized in jail. His family paid for dual-diagnosis facilities, but Nick would only stay 30 days — long enough to detox, never long enough to treat the underlying condition.Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer examines Nick's post-offense behavior: a Santa Monica hotel the night of the alleged killings, wandering near USC the next night. She breaks down what the sealed autopsy reports might contain, why the murder weapon hasn't been found, and what years of wellness checks at the Reiner home tell us about the escalation pattern.The surviving Reiner siblings reportedly don't support seeking the death penalty. The case won't reach a courtroom for at least two years. And twelve jurors will eventually have to answer the question Nick's own parents never could: is he genuinely ill, or has he spent a lifetime learning exactly how to appear that way?#NickReiner #RobReiner #MicheleReiner #TrueCrimeToday #HabibBalian #MenendezBrothers #InsanityDefense #JenniferCoffindaffer #TrueCrime #SchizoaffectiveJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Rob Reiner's own words haunt this case. Experts repeatedly told the family that Nick was "lying or manipulating them." Eighteen rehab stays. Years of interventions. A fortune spent on dual-diagnosis treatment. And still, his parents couldn't figure out when to believe their son. Now a jury has to solve the puzzle they never could.Nick Reiner reportedly admits he killed his parents. He's not denying it. But according to TMZ sources, he doesn't understand why he's in jail. He allegedly believes his incarceration is part of a conspiracy against him. That's either genuine psychosis or the foundation of an insanity defense being laid in public before trial begins.The TMZ documentary "The Reiner Murders: What Really Happened" revealed critical details. Nick's schizoaffective medication was changed about a month before the murders because he complained about weight gain. Sources say the medication still isn't working properly in jail. When his family paid for treatment facilities, Nick would only stay 30 days — enough time to detox, not enough to treat the underlying illness.Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer breaks down Nick's post-offense behavior. After the alleged killings, he checked into a Santa Monica hotel. The following night, he was wandering near USC. What does that pattern reveal about his mental state? Coffindaffer also examines why LAPD sought a court order to seal the autopsy reports and what investigators might be protecting.The murder weapon has not been found. The case won't see a courtroom for at least two years. The surviving Reiner siblings reportedly oppose the death penalty. Prosecutor Habib Balian — the man who handled the Menendez brothers and Robert Durst — is leading the prosecution.Nick Reiner is clearly mentally ill. The question is whether that illness explains the murders or whether he's spent decades learning exactly how to use it.#NickReiner #RobReiner #MicheleReiner #InsanityDefense #Schizoaffective #FBI #JenniferCoffindaffer #HiddenKillers #TrueCrime #ReinerCaseJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Alan Jackson spent three weeks on the Nick Reiner case. Every waking hour, according to his own account. His team issued ten subpoenas — all now sealed by the court. Then he walked into a Los Angeles courtroom and told the judge he had "no choice" but to withdraw. Whatever he discovered, whatever those subpoenas revealed, he says he's legally prohibited from discussing.But Jackson did say one thing on the courthouse steps: Nick Reiner is "not guilty of murder" under California law. That's not a legal ruling. That's a preview of the insanity defense he was building before he left.Deputy Public Defender Kimberly Greene inherited the case with approximately thirty seconds of introduction time before the hearing. She told reporters she'd had no prior contact with the Reiner family. The LA County Public Defender's Office has a strong capital case record — between 2006 and 2015, only one of their clients received a death sentence out of thirty capital appeals. But Greene is walking into a case mid-construction, with sealed subpoenas she may or may not be able to access.Rob and Michele Reiner spent nearly two decades trying to help their son. Eighteen rehab programs. Seventy thousand dollars a month in treatment. A guest house on the family property. When Nick was arrested for allegedly stabbing them to death, the resources that had always protected him became a question mark.Nick's arraignment is February 23rd. No plea entered. No bail.

One month. That's approximately how long before Rob and Michele Reiner were killed that Nick's schizoaffective medication was changed. According to the TMZ documentary, Nick complained about weight gain. The medication was adjusted. Sources say it still isn't working properly in jail.Nick reportedly admits he killed his parents. He's not contesting that. What he allegedly doesn't understand is why he's incarcerated. According to sources with direct knowledge, Nick believes his imprisonment is part of a conspiracy against him. Whether that's genuine psychosis or strategic positioning for an insanity defense is the question that will define this case.His family spent years — and enormous resources — trying to answer the same question. Eighteen rehab stays. Dual-diagnosis treatment facilities that cost a fortune. But Nick would only stay 30 days at a time. Long enough to detox. Never long enough to address the mental illness underneath. His own father told people that experts repeatedly warned them Nick was "lying or manipulating them."Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer analyzes Nick's movements after the alleged murders. He checked into a Santa Monica hotel. The next night, he was wandering near USC. What does that behavior pattern tell investigators? Coffindaffer also examines the sealed autopsy reports, the missing murder weapon, and years of wellness checks at the Reiner home that documented a pattern leading to tragedy.The surviving Reiner siblings have reportedly indicated they don't support seeking the death penalty. Prosecutor Habib Balian — known for the Menendez brothers and Robert Durst cases — is leading the prosecution. Legal experts say this case won't reach trial for at least two years.Nick Reiner is mentally ill. That's not in dispute.

Alan Jackson didn't just withdraw from the Nick Reiner case. He held a press conference on the courthouse steps and told reporters exactly what he believes: "Pursuant to the laws of California, Nick Reiner is NOT guilty of murder. Print that."That's not how attorneys typically exit a case. That's a closing argument delivered before the trial even starts. Jackson spent three weeks investigating — every waking hour, ten sealed subpoenas, a defense strategy clearly taking shape. Then he told the court he was legally and ethically prohibited from explaining why he had to leave. The circumstances, he said, were "beyond Nick's control."Deputy Public Defender Kimberly Greene now represents Nick. She learned about the transition the night before. She had thirty seconds to introduce herself before the hearing began. She told reporters she'd never communicated with the Reiner family and didn't believe they knew Jackson was stepping aside.Rob and Michele Reiner poured resources into their son for seventeen years. Eighteen rehab programs. Seventy thousand a month in treatment costs. Ten thousand a month in allowance. A guest house on the family property. That support system ended when they were allegedly stabbed to death by the son they spent nearly two decades trying to save.The arraignment is postponed to February 23rd. No plea has been entered. Nick remains in jail without bail. Jackson telegraphed the insanity defense before he walked away. The question now is whether Greene picks up where he left off — or starts over entirely.#NickReiner #AlanJackson #RobReiner #MicheleReiner #ReinerMurders #PublicDefender #TrueCrime #HiddenKillers #CriminalDefense #InsanityDefenseJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Stephanie Weinert is a Catholic wife, mother of four, convert to the Catholic faith, and founder of Mother & Home Ministries (motherandhome.co), a motherhood collective created to refresh the hearts and minds of women navigating the sacred, demanding, and beautiful vocation of motherhood. But her path to this work was forged through profound suffering, loss, and ultimately, redemption. Before motherhood reshaped her life, Stephanie considered herself deeply health-conscious and wellness-minded. She valued nutrition, movement, and intentional living. Yet nothing could have prepared her for the moment in 2019 when her son Beckett's birth made her a special-needs mother overnight. The complexity of his medical needs, the emotional weight of caregiving, and the daily fight to keep him safe transformed her understanding of motherhood, dependence, and faith. Eighteen months later, Beckett died. His death shattered Stephanie's world. In the aftermath of trauma and grief, her own health began to unravel. Hormonal dysfunction, exhaustion, anxiety, and physical decline pushed her into what she describes as “a pit I didn't think I would ever climb out of.” The woman who once felt vibrant and capable now struggled to recognize herself. But this was not the end of her story. Stephanie began searching for answers — first medically, then holistically, and eventually spiritually. What she discovered was that true healing could not exist in only one dimension. It wasn't just about labs. It wasn't just about supplements. It wasn't just about diet or sleep. Healing required addressing the whole person: the physical body and hormonal systems, the nervous system and trauma stored within it, the emotional wounds of grief and identity loss, the psychological toll of caregiving and chronic stress, and ultimately, the spiritual surrender of a heart learning again how to trust. “For in Him we live and move and have our being.” (Acts 17:28) Stephanie speaks candidly about the reality that healing is rarely linear. There were setbacks. Plateaus. Relapses. Moments of despair. And then small breakthroughs that slowly compounded into stability, clarity, and renewed strength. Through hormone balancing, root-cause medicine, nervous system regulation, faith, prayer, and intentional living, she began to rebuild not only her health — but her sense of purpose. Second, our brand-new Perimenopause Course is officially live. For just $97, women can dive into a simple, science-backed approach to navigating hormonal shifts with clarity, confidence, and peace. Today's episode of The Hormone Genius is brought to you by WonderCow Colostrum.

What role did crystal meth and other previously underreported factors play in the brutal murder of gay college student Matthew Shepard? The Book of Matt is a page-turning cautionary tale that humanizes and de-mythologizes Matthew while following the evidence where it leads, without regard to the politics that have long attended this American tragedy.Late on the night of October 6, 1998, twenty-one-year-old Matthew Shepard left a bar in Laramie, Wyoming with two alleged “strangers,” Aaron McKin­ney and Russell Henderson. Eighteen hours later, Matthew was found tied to a log fence on the outskirts of town, unconscious and barely alive. He had been pistol-whipped so severely that the mountain biker who discovered his battered frame mistook him for a Halloween scarecrow. Overnight, a politically expedient myth took the place of important facts. By the time Matthew died a few days later, his name was synonymous with anti-gay hate. Stephen Jimenezwent to Laramie to research the story of Matthew Shepard's murder in 2000, after the two men convicted of killing him had gone to prison, and after the national media had moved on. His aim was to write a screenplay on what he, and the rest of the nation, believed to be an open-and-shut case of bigoted violence. As a gay man, he felt an added moral imperative to tell Matthew's story. But what Jimenez eventually found in Wyoming was a tangled web of secrets. His exhaustive investigation also plunged him deep into the deadly underworld of drug trafficking. Over the course of a thirteen-year investigation, Jimenez traveled to twenty states and Washington DC, and interviewed more than a hundred named sources. The Book of Matt is sure to stir passions and inspire dialogue as it re-frames this misconstrued crime and its cast of characters, proving irrefutably that Matthew Shepard was not killed for being gay but for reasons far more complicated — and daunting.https://amzn.to/45JT9CvBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

TMZ just dropped a bombshell in the Nick Reiner case: sources say he admits killing Rob and Michele Reiner but believes his incarceration is a "conspiracy" against him. He genuinely doesn't understand why he's behind bars. If true, this is either devastating proof of how broken Nick's brain really is — or the most perfectly timed defense narrative leak we've seen in years. Maybe both. Nick Reiner has schizoaffective disorder. His medications were reportedly changed about a month before the murders and still aren't working properly. In active psychosis, the brain can know a fact without connecting it to consequences. You can acknowledge an action without understanding what it means. That's not denial — that's neurological dysfunction. And if Nick is experiencing that right now, he might genuinely meet California's insanity standard: that he didn't understand the "nature and quality" of his actions. But here's the problem. Nick also has a documented pattern of manipulation that spans nearly two decades. Eighteen rehab stays. Years of burning every bridge. His own father admitted the family was repeatedly told Nick was lying to them. The Reiners spent hundreds of thousands of dollars trying to help their son, and every time he stabilized, the cycle allegedly started again. So when Nick says he doesn't understand why he's in jail, is that the illness talking? Or is it the same play he's always run? This is the boy who cried wolf problem — and now his life depends on strangers believing him when his own parents couldn't figure out what was real. We break down the psychology, the legal strategy, and why this TMZ leak matters more than you think.#NickReiner #RobReiner #ReinerCase #InsanityDefense #TrueCrime #Schizoaffective #MentalIllness #HiddenKillers #CrimePodcast #JuryPoolContaminationJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISDOES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Welcome back to Sasquatch Odyssey. Tonight, we conclude The Bigfoot Journals. Seven men walked out of the hidden valley in November of seventeen ninety-nine. They carried knowledge that would haunt them for the rest of their lives... and a secret they swore never to reveal.In this final installment, we follow the Stone Expedition on their three-month winter journey home. We witness the debate that consumed them... publish or protect? We hear the oath sworn at Thornton's Tavern in Richmond, where seven survivors bound themselves to silence. And we learn what became of them all.Thomas Mercer, the scientist who died bitter in eighteen twenty-six, still regretting the discovery he could never publish. Sam Walker, who returned to the mountains he loved and passed peacefully in eighteen twenty-three. Josiah Whitfield, who found peace somewhere beyond the Mississippi. Solomon Reed, who carried his grandmother's wisdom north. Jim Sutton, whose last words were about the creatures.Young Zeke Stone, forever changed by his connection with the juvenile, gone by eighteen twenty. And Elijah Stone himself... who built a cabin in the Virginia mountains and watched the forest every night for twenty-seven years. We'll read his final journal entry, written on July fourth, eighteen twenty-six. The fiftieth anniversary of American independence. The day he passed the burden to his son. The chain of keepers had begun.Then we jump forward. Two centuries forward. To Marcus Stone, a history professor who inherits his estranged father's cabin... and discovers a trunk in the cellar that changes everything. The journals. The pendant. The truth.And finally, we witness what happens when Marcus leads a small expedition into the mountains. When the creatures reveal themselves once more. When the gesture of peace is given... and returned.This is the story of secrets that span generations. Of truths too dangerous to share. Of a family that watched and waited, keeper after keeper, century after century. And somewhere in those mountains... the creatures are still watching.They've always been watching. They always will be.Get Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.

The count is now up to 18 scholarship players that have entered their name in the transfer portal from Ohio State, with former 5-star WR Quincy Porter being the latest addition. It seems alarming on the surface, but this is the new normal in college football. Just look around at other programs and you will see this is true. In fact, there are some NIL/transfer situations in college football that make OSU's situation seem tame by comparison. Specifically, we're talking about what's transpiring with Washington QB Demond Williams, plus Missouri DE Damon Wilson II. Dave Biddle and Matt Baxendell tackle that and much more on the Wednesday 5ish.
