What happens when men — cisgender and gender non-conforming — finally get honest about their bodies? This week, Jon and Joho sit down with Ronald Young Jr. to unpack body image, masculinity, and what healing really looks like in a cultural moment that feels like a 90s throwback. From childhood messaging to inner voice work, this conversation goes deep on body neutrality, self-acceptance, and the labor of unlearning toxic narratives.

While performing a rape fantasy sequence during her livestream, cam girl Zoe is attacked by an intruder. Captain Benson discovers the assailant is one of her fans. "ShyGabe" tells Fin he believes Zoe is in love with him and he thought she was inviting him over to role play. The victim tells Kat she does not want her double life exposed. ADA Carisi believes a jury may not convict Gabe if they think the performer consented to the violent sex.  Gabe represents himself at trial, using the opportunity to get Zoe to admit she said "I love you" to him in private chat rooms. Carisi counters by putting Zoe's other fans on the stand, all of whom say the cam girl said the same things to them. Gabe becomes jealous and has an outburst in court, pulling the COVID-era Plexiglas right off the witness stand.   We're talking about Special Victims Unit season 22 episode 5 "Turn Me On Take Me Private." Our guest is Ronald Young Jr. from the Weight For It podcast. This episode takes some inspiration from the 2018 case of Grant Amato. New episodes of These Are Their Stories will return July 8!

Straight-A student Paul Fisher dropped out of college to try his hand as a male gigolo in L.A. After a chance encounter with a mobster flush with cash, Fisher moved to New York and opened his own modeling agency to compete with the titans of the industry. The so-called “model war” changed the way stars are born in the fashion industry. But along the way, Fisher struggled with the excesses of the 80s, pushback from the old guard, and the shady figures who backed his agency.  The podcast “Model Wars” from Campside Media and iHeartPodcasts looks at the improbable rise and fall of a self-made libertine and the characters around him who disrupted the industry. Host Vanessa Grigoriadis lets Fisher tell his own story of making stars, making money, and making trouble in the world of high fashion during the 1980s.OUR SPOILER-FREE REVIEWS OF "MODEL WARS" BEGIN IN THE FINAL 11 MINUTES OF THE EPISODE.In Crime of the Week: Should have seen that coming.Our special fill-in guest is Ronald Young Jr. from the podcast "Weight for It."

Detective Munch thinks a woman has been abducted by the killer he's hunted for a year: the "Bowery Stalker," who tortures and rapes his victims before killing them. With a lead on a new suspect, he and Tutuola drive upstate looking for the secluded cabin of Darryl Kern. They find he's been using the identities of other missing people. Fin and John are forced to share a motel room, where the new partners bond for the first time. A hot tip leads them to a bunker in the woods where multiple bodies are found. The detectives are shocked to discover the unhelpful eyewitness to the abduction had actually been Kern's accomplice. After Kern carjacks a mother and child, cell phone data shows the partners heading north, and Kern is nabbed by police in Canada. But with Canadian law prohibiting the extradition of anyone facing capital punishment, ADA Alex Cabot must convince a provincial judge they will only charge the serial killer with stealing the getaway vehicle (wink, wink).We're talking about Special Victims Unit season two episode eighteen "Manhunt." Our guest is Ronald Young Jr from the "Weight for It" podcast. This episode gets its cues from the landmark legal case surrounding the extradition of serial killer Charles Ng.
