Brian, Blake, and Richard are back for Episode 633 of the Chasing Tone Podcast - Nashville Bound: Brooks and Dunn, Musical Deepfakes and Eternal Glitter  Brian is Nashville-bound to record his debut album, hang out at a Brooks and Dunn rehearsal, but the big question is whether he can get through it without kicking over another microphone (like he did with Brad Paisley). Before he sets off, the guys get into AI deepfakes, after a friend cloned Brian into saying unspeakable things about country music.That leads into discussion of a new guitar innovation - a guitar with an integrated fold-out kickstand - clever engineering, or a solution in search of a problem? Richard then confesses that he let Gemini set up ten presets on his floor modeler and came away a little shaken by how good the results were, which reopens the big question of whether outsourcing your tone quietly kills the fun of chasing it.The guys look at accessible guitars with Braille-friendly controls, Brian shows off a fake Marshall he insists on calling a "farshall," and Richard makes the case for the seatbelt guitar strap that 100% needs to exist. Also Brian is plagued by eternal glitter that still haunts his garage six years on.Pedal Coin, the Tupac case, GTA 6, cowboy boots on Broadway, Married with Children reruns, the windiest gig ever played...it's all in this week's Chasing Tone!Support the show

Outside a Massachusetts courtroom, women have travelled across the country to hold signs that read "she needed help". Jessie Stephens unpacks forensic fandom — the internet's habit of working a real trial as if it’s a season of Lost — and why those signs might not be about Lindsay Clancy at all. Plus, Holly Wainwright is back from holidaying in Harry and Meghan’s new home and has a surprising (for her) new take. Also, Married at First Sight is reportedly going sober, drastically cutting its alcohol rules after a series of scandals.

Medicare may be one of the most important—and confusing—financial decisions you make in retirement. Between enrollment deadlines, late penalties, Medicare Advantage, Medigap, prescription coverage, and income-based premiums, there are plenty of decisions to navigate. And because some choices can have long-term financial consequences, understanding the basics before you enroll is an important part of wise stewardship. Eddie Holland, Senior Private Wealth Advisor and Partner at Blue Trust, as well as a CFP®, CPA, and Certified Kingdom Advisor®, recently joined Faith & Finance to help simplify Medicare and explain some of the most important planning considerations. Understanding Medicare Parts A, B, C, and D A good place to begin is with Medicare's different parts. Medicare Part A primarily covers hospital-related care, including inpatient hospital stays, skilled nursing care, and hospice. For people who have accumulated the required work credits through either their own employment or their spouse's, Part A generally does not require a monthly premium. Medicare Part B covers many medical services outside the hospital, including doctor visits, lab work, and outpatient procedures. Unlike Part A, Part B generally carries a monthly premium, and higher-income retirees may pay more. Medicare Part D covers prescription drugs. Those enrolled in Original Medicare—Parts A and B—can generally purchase a separate Part D prescription drug plan. Medicare Part C, better known as Medicare Advantage, is offered through private insurance companies. These plans combine Parts A and B and often include Part D prescription coverage as well. Some plans may also offer additional benefits such as dental or vision coverage. Another option for those using Original Medicare is a Medicare supplement plan, commonly called Medigap. These private plans are designed to help cover some of the deductibles, copayments, and other expenses that Original Medicare does not pay. Pay Close Attention to Enrollment Timing Timing matters when enrolling in Medicare. Your Initial Enrollment Period generally lasts seven months: the three months before the month you turn 65, your birthday month, and the three months afterward. But turning 65 does not always mean you have to immediately leave employer-sponsored health coverage. If you or your spouse are still working and you have qualifying employer coverage, you may have access to a Special Enrollment Period, allowing you to delay certain portions of Medicare without facing a late enrollment penalty. Holland notes that employer size and the nature of the coverage can affect how Medicare coordinates with the employer plan. That makes it important to speak with your employer's benefits or human resources department before making assumptions about which coverage should come first. Employer Size Can Make a Difference If your employer has 20 or more employees, the employer health plan may generally remain the primary payer while you continue working, potentially allowing you to postpone Part B and its monthly premium. With an employer of fewer than 20 employees, Medicare may become the primary payer once you are eligible. In that situation, failing to enroll in Parts A and B could potentially leave gaps in coverage. You should also verify whether your employer's prescription drug coverage is considered creditable coverage for Medicare purposes. That can be especially important if you plan to delay Part D beyond age 65. The larger lesson is simple: Medicare decisions should rarely be made in isolation. Your employer coverage, retirement date, spouse's coverage, prescription needs, and other factors all need to be considered together. What Is IRMAA? For higher-income retirees, another important acronym to know is IRMAA, or the Income-Related Monthly Adjustment Amount. IRMAA is an additional charge added to Medicare Part B and Part D premiums when modified adjusted gross income exceeds certain thresholds. For 2026, Holland notes that IRMAA begins above $109,000 in modified adjusted gross income for single filers and $218,000 for married couples filing jointly. Medicare generally bases the surcharge on the most recent tax information available, which often means looking back two years. So, for example, 2026 Medicare premiums may be based on income reported on a 2024 tax return. That two-year lookback can surprise people whose financial situation has recently changed. If your income has fallen because of certain qualifying life-changing events, such as retirement, marriage, or widowhood, you may be able to request a reconsideration of the surcharge using Social Security Form SSA-44. Roth Conversions Can Affect Medicare Premiums IRMAA can also become an important consideration when planning Roth conversions. Suppose you retire before age 65 and decide to convert a significant amount of traditional IRA money to a Roth IRA. The conversion increases your taxable income for that year. Because Medicare looks back at previous tax returns when determining IRMAA, a large Roth conversion in the years immediately preceding Medicare enrollment could lead to higher Part B and Part D premiums later. That doesn't necessarily mean you shouldn't complete the conversion. It simply means you should include the potential Medicare impact in the calculation. Tax planning, retirement planning, and Medicare planning are often interconnected. A decision that makes sense in one area can create consequences in another. Be Careful With HSA Contributions Health Savings Accounts require special attention as you approach Medicare eligibility. Once you are enrolled in Medicare, you can no longer contribute to an HSA. If you enroll around age 65, you need to coordinate the end of your HSA contributions with the beginning of your Medicare coverage. The issue becomes even more important for those who enroll after age 65 because Medicare Part A coverage can sometimes be applied retroactively, potentially affecting HSA eligibility for previous months. Holland recommends understanding the retroactive period before enrolling so you don't inadvertently make excess HSA contributions. Social Security can complicate matters further. If you begin receiving Social Security benefits, you may automatically be enrolled in Medicare Part A. Anyone who is still contributing to an HSA should account for that before applying for Social Security. The good news is that money already accumulated in an HSA remains tax-advantaged and can still be used for many qualified medical expenses in retirement, including certain Medicare premiums. Holland notes, however, that HSA funds cannot be used tax-free to pay Medigap premiums. What If One Spouse Reaches Medicare Age First? Married couples can face another challenge when one spouse becomes eligible for Medicare while the other is still several years away. If the older spouse continues working, the employer plan may continue covering both spouses. Some companies also provide retiree benefits that extend coverage to a younger spouse after the older spouse retires. If employer coverage isn't available, COBRA may provide temporary coverage, although it can be expensive. Another possibility is purchasing insurance through the federal or state health insurance marketplace, where the younger spouse may qualify for premium subsidies depending on household circumstances. Whatever option you choose, don't overlook the cost. If one spouse retires several years before the other reaches Medicare eligibility, higher healthcare premiums may need to become a deliberate part of the retirement budget. Make Medicare Part of Your Larger Retirement Plan Medicare isn't simply a healthcare decision. It can affect your taxes, retirement income, Social Security strategy, HSA contributions, and monthly spending. That's why careful planning before age 65 can be so valuable. Understand what each part of Medicare covers. Know your enrollment windows. Talk with your employer before leaving workplace coverage. Consider the impact of your income on Medicare premiums. And coordinate decisions involving HSAs, Roth conversions, Social Security, and your spouse's health coverage. Medicare may be complicated, but you don't have to approach it blindly. Taking the time to understand your options can help you avoid costly mistakes, choose coverage that fits your circumstances, and steward the resources God has entrusted to you with greater wisdom and confidence.

The next Sunday he was in Quantico to attend the FBI Academy. Eric has taken the ingredients of two polar opposite callings and has turned them into his life's masterpiece.For nearly a quarter century, Eric used the practices and principles he learned in ministry to connect with victims and witnesses, and even to break through to criminals. Whether confronting terrorists, rescuing teen sex workers, or developing informants, the skills from his earlier life were put to use in his law enforcement career.   Eric's career in the FBI was diverse and he used his unique skillset to guide many criminals, colleagues, and communities on a journey of compassion, commitment, and patience.Eric thanks for all you have done with your career, thanks for taking the time to put your life on paper, and thanks for being our guest on Life's Essential Ingredients…welcome to the show!TOTD – “A mind that is stretched by a new experience can never go back to its old dimensions.”                                                    Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.Build a habit - to create intention - to live your purpose! In this episode:What was life like growing up?Worked in Chicago…pizza?What got you into your preacher role?What are your life's essential ingredients?Married for 33 years – balanceJust retired after 24 years with the FBI – best part of retirement…After action…the power of reflectionCommunication skills that are universalValues that are universalNot interrupting silence – using compounding questioning…Congrats on your book – IRREVEREND…interesting title, (not worthy of respect) how did you come up with it?Fitness testing, being fit…The power of connectionNational Security…what concerns do you have moving forward and what hopes do you have…Nutrition and disciplineFirearms instructor…what skills does it take to have confidence in that space…Marathon Running…Most interesting story…Fuel for people who want to hurt people…Characteristics of successful peopleTeam Building, trust building, Lessons learned…Post Traumatic Stress…ForgivenessMindsetLeaving work at workLegacy

Talking to your kids about sex can feel incredibly awkward. Maybe you don't know where to start, maybe you're worried about saying the wrong thing. Maybe nobody ever had these conversations with you, so now you're trying to figure it out while raising your own children but avoiding the conversation doesn't make the questions disappear. In this episode of Love, Life, and Legacy, we sit down with Amelia, the director of School of Love, to talk about how parents can have healthier, more honest, and ongoing conversations about sex with their kids. Because the goal isn't to have one uncomfortable conversation and hope you've covered everything. It's about creating a relationship where your children know they can ask questions. Where sex isn't surrounded by unnecessary shame. Where curiosity can be met with honesty instead of fear. And where parents can intentionally help their kids develop a healthier understanding of relationships, intimacy, boundaries, and sexuality. This conversation is about removing the unnecessary awkwardness around sex not because the topic doesn't matter, but because it matters too much to leave entirely to the internet, social media, or pornography. What You'll Hear in This Episode: Why conversations about sex don't have to be one big "talk" How awkwardness and shame can stop important conversations before they begin Why intentionality matters when raising kids How parents can create an environment where questions feel safe What School of Love is doing to help parents navigate these conversations Why healthy conversations about sexuality are about much more than biology How your relationship with your child shapes what conversations are possible Why avoiding the topic doesn't mean your kids aren't learning about it elsewhere How to approach these conversations with more confidence and less fear Why putting in the "reps" matters when building communication with your kids You don't need to have every answer, you just need to be willing to start the conversation and then keep it going.

Season 20 of “Married at First Sight” is safely in the can, and, as we hoped, six of the seven couples are safely separated from each other! In this recap, Claire and Leigh talk about Decision Day, from the reveal of Felipe's vile off-camera comments to Tori to the oddly timed gifting of a Ninja Creami, before diving into the action-packed reunion. Relationship experts Paul and Dr. Lisa have taken off their therapist hats and donned their tea-spilling host ensembles, and they're ready to take stock of the emotional wounds inflicted on the show's cast by their mostly short-lived marriages. Mecca and Bellé discuss their post-show split, while Michelle and Cam share mostly happy updates from the first year of married life. Marissa is finally ready to share her truth: She despises Adam and his cooking. Tori wants to know why she was ever even placed in Felipe's vicinity. Adam makes fun of Courteney's pickleball skills until she cries, all while wearing his most attention-seeking ensemble yet. Caitlin and Devin somehow slide under the radar, but Nikki and Shawn? They have no shortage of grievances to air.

Long-term care coverage is an essential, yet often misunderstood, aspect of retirement planning in the United States. Although many people will require some form of long-term care as they age, most are unprepared for the high costs and limited coverage options available. On the show this week, I'm debunking common myths like the notion that Medicare will fully cover all long-term care costs and taking a deep dive into the four main ways retirees can pay for these expenses.    You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in... 00:00 Understanding the options for long-term care help 03:10 The difference between Medicare and Medicaid 05:07 Spouse asset protection options 09:15 Understanding hybrid policy benefits 13:24 Hybrid vs. traditional long-term care 19:25 Long-term care insurance application process   Understanding Medicare's Limitations There is often a misconception that Medicare covers long-term care. In reality, it's split into two primary parts: Part A, which covers some costs for hospital stays, and Part B, which addresses preventative care such as doctor visits and certain procedures. While Medicare may pay for medically necessary hospital stays—such as those following an injury like a broken hip—it stops covering the costs when ongoing care is no longer deemed medically necessary. Extended or custodial care, where you need help with daily living activities but do not require intensive medical treatment, is not included under standard Medicare coverage. This leaves retirees exposed to significant out-of-pocket expenses once hospital-based care ends.   The Four Main Options for Long-Term Care Coverage There are four primary payment strategies for long-term care. Each option has its benefits and limitations, and selecting the right one depends heavily on individual circumstances.   1. Medicaid Medicaid is a needs-based program designed for individuals with low income and limited assets. To qualify, applicants must pass specific income and asset thresholds, which, for single individuals, often means owning less than $2,000 in assets. Married couples have more leeway—the "community spouse" can usually retain a higher amount of assets and income. Medicaid planning may involve establishing a qualified income trust or transferring assets into an irrevocable trust. It is important to note that most states enforce a five-year look-back period for asset transfers, meaning that gifts or transfers must occur at least five years before the Medicaid application to be effective.   2. Self-Insuring Self-insuring is also an option, which involves setting aside personal assets, such as retirement savings or home equity, to pay for potential care needs. This method offers autonomy but carries risk, especially given the high and regionally variable costs of care. Depending on where you live, full-time nursing care can average over $15,000 per month, and home care or assisted living can still cost tens of thousands of dollars per year. Planning ahead is critical, particularly for couples, to ensure one spouse's care does not financially imperil the other.   3. Hybrid Long-Term Care Policies Hybrid long-term care insurance policies have emerged that combine life insurance with long-term care coverage. These products provide either long-term care benefits or a death benefit to your estate, ensuring that money paid into the policy is not "lost" if long-term care is never needed. Hybrid policies tend to offer flexible payout options and the potential for locked-in premiums, but they may provide less coverage per premium dollar when compared to traditional policies.   4. Traditional Long-Term Care Insurance Traditional long-term care insurance remains an option for those prioritizing higher benefit payouts. While these policies can stretch benefit pools further, they don't usually offer death benefits, and their premiums are not guaranteed—they can increase over time and may eventually become unaffordable. Underwriting is also stringent: many applicants over 70 are denied coverage, and certain medical conditions result in automatic disqualification. Making the Right Choice for You and Your Family You need to balance protecting personal assets, securing a spouse's future, and managing premium costs. Retirees should honestly assess their health, financial circumstances, and family situation. Consulting a financial advisor or insurance professional can help tailor a long-term care strategy that minimizes risk while supporting a comfortable and dignified retirement. Planning now, rather than later, ensures you are prepared for whatever the future may bring—and that you and your loved ones have peace of mind.   Resources Mentioned Retirement Readiness Review Subscribe to the Retire with Ryan YouTube Channel Download my entire book for FREE    Connect With Morrissey Wealth Management  www.MorrisseyWealthManagement.com/contact Subscribe to Retire With Ryan  

Carlos is officially a married man! This week on The FratChat Podcast, Carlos and Julie join C-Mo for a special episode counting down the Top 10 Moments From Their Wedding Weekend. From the epic rehearsal dinner and the first look to the wedding-day chaos, Stella making her grand entrance, C-Mo officiating, the choreographed first dance, Dan Nemeth's legendary “shagging wagon,” and plenty of moments that definitely didn't go according to plan, the newlyweds relive the funniest, most memorable and most heartfelt moments from the biggest weekend of their lives. They also get into the realities of planning a wedding, the things they'd do differently, the moments that meant the most, and why the whole experience left Carlos still floating on a cloud after the wedding and mini-moon. Plus, we've got all the usual FratChat nonsense: In Emails From the Listeners, we tackle a guy bringing his girlfriend flowers every single time he comes over and another listener asking whether you really have to invite family members you haven't spoken to in years just because they share your last name. The News brings us the absolutely insane story of a man who allegedly pretended to be a wealthy 49ers player on dating apps and defrauded 26 women out of $1.3 million, leading to plenty of riffs about fake NFL careers, catfishing and C-Mo conveniently sharing a name with an actual NFL player. And in Not the Drag Queens, we talk about the Florida Medicaid money scandal involving the Ron DeSantis administration, the $10 million that allegedly wound up benefiting political groups, and the eternal FratChat question: if the fraud isn't coming from drag queens or immigrants, could the call actually be coming from inside the house?We also squeeze in some Hoboken/Frank Sinatra talk, football riffs, and a random historical fact before Julie officially joins the show for the wedding countdown.

In this conversation, we sit down with Amanda Goodstadt, Senior Staff Attorney at Triage Cancer, where she develops educational materials, leads trainings, and provides individual assistance through the organization's Legal & Financial Navigation Program. Amanda also oversees Triage Cancer's Legal Advisory Council and Pro Bono Network, and represents the organization on the American Bar Association's Cancer Legal Advocacy Interest Group, the New York State Cancer Consortium, and other national coalitions working at the intersection of law, advocacy, and cancer care.What makes Amanda's work so deeply resonant is that it is not only professional — it is personal. Married to a cancer survivor, caregiver to her mother through her final two years, and no stranger to loss, Amanda came to this work through her own life. She knows, from the inside, what it feels like to be handed a diagnosis and a stack of paperwork in the same breath.Amanda and Dr. Sam walk gently through the terrain that so often arrives alongside a cancer diagnosis — the questions no one thinks to ask until they are already standing in the middle of them.Together they explore:Where to begin after a diagnosis, and why work is rarely a simple binary of "keep going" or "stop"Understanding your own employee benefits — sick leave, PTO, flex time, telecommuting, donated hours, and disability insurance you may not even know you haveThe FMLA, the ADA, and how state and local laws quietly extend those protectionsReasonable accommodations, and how to speak with your employer, your HR team, and your own healthcare providers about what you needDisclosure — who to tell, what to say, and how to prepare scripts for the tender and unexpected questions that come from colleagues, family, and friendsShort-term and long-term disability, and the paperwork the medical team may be asked to fill out on your behalfThe overlap between financial health, medical adherence, and outcomes — and why addressing the non-medical side of a diagnosis is a form of clinical careSurvivorship as it truly is — beginning at the moment of diagnosis, not at the end of treatmentAmanda also speaks to caregivers — the partners, parents, siblings, and friends quietly holding everything else together — and to metavivors, whose survivorship never has a clean finish line.Above all, she offers what she calls the empowerment of knowing. Because a diagnosis often makes a woman feel she has lost control over everything happening to her — and Amanda's whole life's work is to hand a piece of that control gently back.She also shares how to reach Triage Cancer's Legal & Financial Navigation Program directly, where you can submit a few basic questions and schedule a call with one of their staff attorneys — a free, national resource that so many people say only one thing about after using it: I wish I had known about you sooner.About our Guest: Amanda Goodstadt is the Senior Staff Attorney at Triage Cancer, where she develops educational materials, leads trainings, and provides individual assistance through the organization's Legal & Financial Navigation Program.

Skip the banter: 00:06:35For years, the Knotek home appeared to be a place where struggling friends and relatives could find support, while inside, Shelly Knotek's daughters were witnessing escalating abuse, control, and isolation. As Kathy Loreno, Shane Watson, and later Ron Woodworth disappeared from the family's life, Shelly offered explanations that those closest to her increasingly struggled to believe. The episode also examines the warnings that surfaced along the way, including injuries, troubling behavior, and a 2001 report to law enforcement that did not immediately lead to intervention. Allison walks through the sisters' accounts, the investigation, and the details that show how much was happening in plain sight before authorities finally acted.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Will and Rider are serving up Married at First Sight episodes in 3s, falling deeper and deeper into the abyss that is reality TV. One of the main relationships have fallen apart, forcing the boys to wonder if they were ever compatible in the first place.They also get into the “joint venture” of Sean and Nikki, and Sean’s preoccupation with intimacy that is slowly pushing her away.

Don Ross is the founder of Manhood Tribes, a former pastor of 20 years who now works in digital marketing and has spent over two decades helping men cut through the noise around masculinity and build real brotherhood. Married 22 years with two boys, he's built his work around five marks of manhood and, more recently, helping men prepare for what he believes are the biblical end times. This is a unique episode. Don walks Larry through the specific signs he sees converging right now, the nation of Israel and the temple, the move toward digital currency, and the gospel reaching every ethnic group, then pivots to what actually matters for the average man: building community, growing real-world skills, and developing a genuine relationship with Jesus rather than just checking religious boxes. If you've felt the anxiety of scrolling the news and wondered how to lead your family through uncertain times, this conversation offers a grounded, faith-centered answer.   Timeline Summary [3:29] – How close are we to the end times, and what that phrase actually means [5:28] – Why the anxiety men feel scrolling their phones connects to the bigger picture [7:33] – The specific signs happening now that are unique in human history [9:05] – Introducing Don Ross, Manhood Tribes, and the epidemic of male loneliness [12:35] – The Euphrates River drying up as a minor sign [13:29] – Israel reestablished as a nation in 1948 and the Ezekiel dry bones prophecy [15:10] – The Temple Institute, the red heifer, and preparations for a third temple [20:41] – Why the dome of the Rock and secular Israeli politics have stalled the temple [25:05] – Global commerce, the mark of the beast, and central bank digital currencies [29:23] – How state-controlled currency mirrors China's social credit system [32:29] – The third and more hopeful sign: the gospel reaching every ethnic group by 2033 [35:27] – Why the decline of masculinity collides with this moment in history [37:13] – Larry on feeling spiritually ready but not practically prepared [44:05] – What Covid revealed about government control, framed carefully as speculation [48:39] – Why building a bunker is the wrong first step [50:34] – The five marks of manhood: strength, courage, skill, honor, and allegiance [51:34] – Monthly challenges, from cold showers to learning vehicle maintenance [54:20] – The spiritual anchor and connecting relationally to Jesus [56:56] – Knowing Jesus as a person, not just checking the church and Bible boxes [1:03:44] – Larry's hike through Garden of the Gods and the decision that brought him peace   5 Key Takeaways Watch the Season, Not the Date — The instruction was never to predict the day, but to recognize the season and be ready. Don points to several signs converging at once as reason to pay attention rather than panic. Loneliness Is a Crisis, and Community Is the Answer — Most men believe they have to figure life out alone, and the isolation is at an all time high. Real brotherhood is what helps men survive hardship and become better husbands and fathers. Don't Build a Bunker, Build a Community — The prepper instinct is individualistic, but the biblical model is to love your neighbor as yourself. The right next step is building strong community that can support each other through any storm. Grow Real Skills as a Man — Strength, courage, skill, honor, and allegiance are traits you develop over a lifetime. Practical challenges like cold showers or basic vehicle maintenance build the grit and capability most modern men have lost. Know Jesus as a Person — Faith isn't just going to church, reading the Bible, and praying as a checklist. It's a relationship built through conversation, listening, and shared experience, the same way you'd cultivate connection with a spouse.   Links & Resources Episode page and all links: https://thedadedge.com/1523 Manhood Tribes on YouTube: https://youtube.com/@ManhoodTribes Roommates to Soulmates (cohort 3, starts September 16, free preview calls September 8 and 9): https://thedadedge.com/soulmates Dad Edge Day with the Arizona Cardinals (November 15, Cardinals vs Rams, State Farm Stadium): https://thedadedge.com/nfl The Pursuit of Legendary Fatherhood by Larry Hagner: https://thedadedge.com   Enjoyed This Episode?

MAFS 20 Finale Recap: A Perfect Match Podcast Watch the podcast on YouTube! MAFS season 20 draws to a close, and hosts Jason Reed and Aysha Welch gather with a live audience at RHAPCon 2026 for a deep dive into the finale and reunion. The pair break down each couple's fate, exposing awkward splits, questionably-matched pairings, and standout confessions that shaped this season. As secrets unravel and hard truths surface, Jason and Aysha sort through every dramatic detail—especially where loyalty, honesty, and emotional intelligence come up short. From the outdoor decision day scenes in chilly Seattle to the heated reunion confrontations, the hosts critique the show's new twists and the surprising directions some couples take. They analyze the absence of experts on decision day, discuss how the experts double as hosts during the reunion, and debate whether a cast-led podcast can ever offer unbiased commentary. Recurring themes include accountability, playing the blame game, and what it really means to “compromise” in a reality TV marriage. Jason and Aysha spotlight: Felipe's revealing phone call to Tori and his quest to avoid taking responsibility for their breakup Belle's realization about settling for less and the group's reaction to self-sabotage during decision day The sharp exchange between Nikki and Sean as they debate emotional intelligence and accountability Marissa's honest confession about her unhappiness with Adam, challenging his idea of compromise and partnership The only couple who chooses to stay married—Cameron and Michelle—and how their journey stands out from the rest With new couples, surprise breakups, and unfinished business lingering, the conversation explores whether real romance—or just reality TV antics—drove the season's choices. Where does honest self-reflection end, and where does the need for a dramatic storyline take over? Unlock all the behind-the-scenes stories and relationship dissection by listening to the full episode for a front-row view into MAFS season 20's dramatic conclusion.

OUR HBIC (Head Bestie in Charge) GOT HITCHED!!! This week, Kamie is fresh off her wedding weekend (and a little raspy) and finally ready to spill EVERYTHING - including a reveal years in the making: Besties, meet Mrs. Champagne! Insane… we know.  For the first time, Kamie opens up about her husband and takes us behind the scenes of the entire Champagne wedding weekend. From nearly forgetting to get legally married and the unexpected officiant who saved the day, to the rehearsal dinner, bridal tea, welcome party, THREE wedding dresses, emotional vows, first dance, and an after party to remember - we have a LOT of ground to cover! She also reveals the hilarious reception mishap that put her brand-new marriage to the test, her biggest piece of advice for brides currently in the trenches of wedding planning and the unexpected impact their wedding had on the people who were there to witness it.  Follow Kamie @kamiecrawford +  Relationshit @relationshit  for more.

Today we're sharing something a little different: it's the first episode of a newpodcast from our friends at ABC Audio and 20/20 called “What Happened to theMcStays?” In 2010, in a quiet suburb of San Diego, a family of four seeminglyvanished into thin air. When investigators searched their home, they found thefamily's two beloved dogs unattended outside, rotting food left around the house,and clothes strewn across the floor. The nation was left to wonder: Did theMcStays leave of their own accord, or did something more sinister happen?To hear the whole story, follow “What Happened to the McStays?” on ApplePodcasts, Spotify, or wherever you like to listen – or listen ad-free and get thewhole series before anyone else by subscribing to 20/20 True Crime+ on ApplePodcasts.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Today's Bible Verse: "Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord, the Lord himself, is the Rock eternal." — Isaiah 26:4 What can you hold onto when life feels uncertain, overwhelming, or completely out of control? Isaiah 26:4 points us to God as our unchanging source of stability. When circumstances shift, plans fall apart, or the future feels uncertain, we can trust in the Lord because He is the eternal Rock. Life will inevitably bring seasons that shake our confidence and test our faith. We may not always be able to control what happens around us, but we can choose where we place our trust. Unlike circumstances, people, or earthly security, God remains faithful and unchanging. Want more encouragement throughout your week? Subscribe to The Good Word, LifeAudio’s free weekly newsletter.

Melissa shares her experience attending the Durk trial in person, meeting Drew Findling, and navigating the trial coverage landscape on Twitter. The conversation shifts to kids going back to school -- Jo starting his college freshman year and Isaiah his college junior year -- and Melissa reflects on entering her "second act" of life now that her kids are growing up. The ladies react to the hilarious "Call the Grave" viral thread, break down the TikTok imposter who faked attending Duke's physician assistant program, give their Married at First Sight finale predictions, and dive deep into the Real Housewives of Atlanta finale -- from Drew recording Kelli's closed restaurant to Shamia's heartbreaking loss and Kelli's ungratefulness toward Phaedra.

This batch of “Married at First Sight” episodes leaves us at the brink of decision day – and teasing a scandalous off-camera conversation between Felipe and Tori. But first, the remaining six couples head off on a couples retreat that is more fratty than therapeutic. Felipe leans into his womanizing reputation, and expects Tori to be as tolerant of his foibles as his mother is. Mecca and Caitlin get flirty, and somehow Bellé is the last person anyone is concerned about. Nikki is ruminating on why Shawn told her she was a Seattle 10, but a New York 7. Adam is more focused on stirring the pot than finding compromises with Marissa. Michelle and Cam seem fine, but everyone else is fed up with their meddling and judgment. Even us! Should any of these couples actually stay married – and will they?

Reesa Teesa joins Angela Yee, Jordy, and Akeem Woods for a candid conversation about life after her viral 50-part “Who TF Did I Marry?” series and the experiences that inspired her book. Reesa opens up about the mental toll of going viral, the criticism that came with sharing such a vulnerable story, and why she now believes everybody wants to go viral until it’s time to pay the “viral tax.” She also reflects on the pressure she once felt to get married and have children, how that urgency influenced some of her relationship decisions, and why she had to learn there are worse things than being single. The conversation gets into the men behind the codenames in her book, including Beavis, a man she deeply loved despite their lack of sexual compatibility, and Legion, who Reesa says admitted marriage was the only way he believed he could keep her. She also discusses dating as a plus-size woman, being desired privately but not always loved publicly, and reaching a point where she refuses to change herself just to be chosen. Reesa also explains why dating apps are completely off the table, why trust now has to be earned, and how her approach to relationships has changed after everything she experienced. Plus, she talks about adapting her story for television, serving as an executive producer, being involved in the writers’ room, and making sure Hollywood can add its own “seasoning” without completely taking her story out of her hands. From sex and self-worth to marriage, healing, dating, body image, fame, and learning to choose herself, Reesa Teesa keeps it just as transparent as the story that made millions of people tune in.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Microdramas are taking over the internet. But are they art – or products?The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband. Break Me, Princess. Married the Mafioso I Saved. These are all titles of microdramas that are taking the internet by storm. In case you haven't heard, microdramas are often campy shows with short, minute-long episodes. The first few episodes get posted to social media for free, but viewers must go to another site where they can pay to watch the whole thing. And a lot of people do. It's an industry that started in China and is already worth several billions of dollars – so Hollywood is getting in on it. Issa Rae's microdrama called Screen Time got nearly 75 million views in its first week, and now, Peacock, Fox, and Disney are producing their own. But this microdrama boom raises a few questions: who are these stories for, and what makes them so popular? And is the microdrama a new art form – or is it solely a product?Brittany is joined by Chang Che, a freelance writer who wrote about microdramas for The New Yorker, and Xochitl Gonzalez, author and contributor at The Atlantic, who wrote about them there.For more episodes on what we're watching and why, check out:People are struggling financially.
