Part Two of Two South Carolina fined journalist Mandy Matney $5,000 to “deter similar conduct in the future and promote respect for the law.” It fined Cory Fleming, $0. Becky Hill, $0. Alex Murdaugh — who stole more than $12 million from grieving clients — $0. Mandy opens Part Two of Episode 158 by laying that math out plainly, and asking what message it sends to every whistleblower in the state trying to change its broken systems. Then journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell turn to Murdaugh v. Hill, the federal suit in which Alex demands at least $600,000 from the former clerk of court for what his lawyers call “criminal jury tampering” — a charge prosecutors declined to bring, because the jurors telling the story couldn't keep it straight. Plus: Becky's motion to dismiss, Phil Barber's savage briefs, another sealed discovery order, and why a sourdough starter metaphor explains this entire mess.

Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell have some questions about a Spartanburg County Police report… made by none other than Debbie Barbier… When Greg Parker's attorney Deborah Barbier told Spartanburg police she'd been “harassed” in a hotel lobby the morning of Mandy's contempt hearing on June 22, 2026, the department did something our team has never seen done so thoroughly for a harassment complaint made by a woman: it investigated. Multiple officers. Multiple weeks. Untold public monies. Search warrants signed by magistrate judges with no explanation of what probable cause existed — including a search of Mandy's Marriott room records and private guest information divulged over the phone. Hours of surveillance footage later, police could not locate the confrontation Barbier described, and the case is now listed as "inactive". We're revisiting what South Carolina's harassment statute actually says, and ask why protected first amendment activities keep getting recast as crimes… and why behavior matching the statute is disregarded. Then we relook at McClatchy reporter John Monk's coverage of Mandy's contempt proceedings through the prism of his 44 year old son's federal indictment on child sexual abuse material charges — to which Monk Jr. has pleaded not guilty. We have questions… Let's Dive In…
What if anxiety isn't trying to defeat us?What if it's asking us a question?In this Sound Bite, inspired by my recent conversation with Lisa Woodruff, I explore the role anxiety plays in our everyday lives—especially when we're trying to lead our homes, our work, and ourselves.We often think of anxiety as something to eliminate. But perhaps anxiety is simply our mind trying to predict a future that hasn't happened yet.Through a personal story, reflections on trust, hope, and faith, and insights from Brené Brown, Jonathan Haidt's The Anxious Generation, and Lisa's concept of being the CEO of our households, I consider a different way to respond when uncertainty shows up.Instead of asking,"What if everything goes wrong?"What if we asked,"What is the next indicated step?"In this episode we explore:✨ Why anxiety is different from everyday stress✨ How uncertainty fuels our "what if" thinking✨ Why trying to control everything only creates more overwhelm✨ What it really means to lead ourselves through uncertain times✨ How trust grows from remembering what we've already survived✨ Why hope, faith, and trust work together when life doesn't go according to planBecause being the CEO of your life doesn't mean predicting every storm.It means trusting yourself to lead through one.Resources Mentioned

Have you ever finished a busy day wondering where all your time and energy went?The meals were made.The laundry was folded.The appointments were scheduled.The emails were answered.Yet somehow, it still feels like there was so much more to do.In this episode of Girl, Take the Lead!, I sit down with Lisa Woodruff, founder and CEO of Organize 365, to explore why overwhelm isn't simply about having too much to do—it's about the invisible work of managing our lives.Lisa believes organization is a learnable skill. After years as a professional organizer and earning her PhD studying household management, she's developed a powerful framework that invites us to think differently about leadership—not just at work, but at home.Instead of seeing ourselves as employees of our households, what if we became the CEOs?Together, we explore:✨ Why overwhelm can feel like quicksand—and how to stop sinking✨ The invisible mental load that often leads to anxiety✨ Why leading a household is one of our most important leadership roles✨ The difference between striving for perfection and pursuing excellence✨ How Lisa's Sunday Basket® helps reduce mental clutter✨ Why systems create freedom—not more work✨ How trusting yourself can become your greatest leadership skillOne of my favorite moments was Lisa's reminder that being the CEO doesn't mean doing everything yourself.It means stepping back, seeing the bigger picture, making thoughtful decisions, and creating systems that support everyone—including you.Whether you live alone, share your home with a partner, are raising children, caring for aging parents, or navigating an empty nest, this conversation offers practical wisdom for leading your life with greater intention and less overwhelm.Connect with Lisa Woodruff
SummaryWhat does it mean to achieve something today, when the paths that used to define success are shifting under everyone's feet?That question sat at the center of our conversation with Asheesh Advani, CEO of Junior Achievement Worldwide and author of Modern Achievement. Ashish has spent his career watching how young people define success, and what he is seeing now is a generation navigating career paths that no longer move in a straight line. AI is part of that shift, not as a threat to outrun but as a tool that, used well, frees people up to do the harder, more human thinking.Asheesh walked us through a framework he calls fixed, flexible, and freestyle, a way of thinking about leadership and career decisions that accounts for how much certainty we actually have in a given moment. We spent time in the tension between meritocracy and effort, and why rewarding habits and persistence may matter more right now than rewarding outcomes alone. Mentorship came up again and again, not as a program to run but as a relationship that lets people find purpose at their own pace rather than someone else's timeline.What stayed with us was his point about meta-learning, the idea that reflecting on how we learn is becoming as important as the learning itself. In a world moving this fast, that kind of self-awareness may be the most durable skill a leader or a young person can build.This is a conversation for leaders and educators trying to make sense of achievement in a world that keeps redefining it.Chapters00:00 introduction and updates on Junior Achievement Worldwide05:13 the changing landscape of success and achievement08:19 path dependency and career flexibility10:55 the fixed, flexible, and freestyle framework13:58 meritocracy and the role of effort17:11 generative AI and education19:56 the structure of modern achievement23:18 mentorship and purpose in education26:12 Ted Lasso: leadership lessons29:13 conclusion and final thoughtsKey TakeawaysSuccess no longer follows a fixed path, which means leaders need frameworks flexible enough to hold uncertainty rather than pretending it away.The fixed, flexible, and freestyle framework offers a way to match your approach to how much certainty a situation actually allows, rather than defaulting to rigid planning everywhere.AI is most useful when it takes on the easy tasks and frees people to spend their effort on the hard thinking that actually builds judgment.Rewarding effort and habits, not just outcomes, builds a healthier relationship to achievement, especially for young people still figuring out what success means to them.Mentorship works best when it makes room for someone to find their own purpose at their own pace, rather than steering them toward someone else's definition of arrival.Meta-learning, the practice of reflecting on how you learn, may be one of the most important skills to build in a world that keeps changing what success requires.Sound Bites"Use AI to do hard thinking, not just easy tasks.""We should be rewarding effort and habits, not just outcomes.""Let people find their purpose at their own pace."ResourcesModern Achievement by Asheesh Advani - https://www.amazon.com/s?k=Modern+Achievement+Ashish+AdvaniJunior Achievement Worldwide - https://jaworldwide.orgMarshall Goldsmith - https://www.linkedin.com/in/marshallgoldsmithGenerative AI tools - https://openai.com/blog/chatgptMeta-Learning and Reflection Science - https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0160289619301244Guest LinksLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/ashishadvani/Website - https://jaworldwide.orgKeep Leading the Lasso Way.

Ten days after an unprecedented contempt order shook South Carolina to its core, investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell are still standing — and they've got a lot of ground to cover. First, Mandy updates listeners on jaw-dropping injustice as we dig our foxholes and announce a new addition to her growing legal team intent on defending the first amendment and due process. Then, things get a little... cinematic… because the Lee Gilley saga has officially crossed into foreign territory. Lee is still in Italy. The extradition fight is stalling. Harris County keeps fumbling the ball. And somehow, a man named Matthew Jackson managed to squat inside Christa Bauer's million-dollar Houston home while all of this was happening. It's the WILD WILD WEST. It's lawless. It's outrageous. It's a lot. Christa deserved better — and we're pressing on to uncover The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. Let's Dive In…
SummaryHospitality is not a department. It is a posture.That was the thread running through our conversation with Mia Berloni, CEO of Teatro Group, as Garth and I dug into the idea of unreasonable hospitality and what it actually asks of a leader. Mia has spent her career inside rooms where the smallest gesture, a remembered name, a note passed at the right moment, can matter more than the meal itself. What she has learned in those rooms translates directly to how schools and organizations build culture.We talked about clarity as an act of kindness rather than its opposite, and how feedback delivered with care becomes one of the most generous things a leader can offer a team. Mia's approach to hiring is not built around credentials first. It is built around who fits the culture and who will carry it forward, because culture is not something you announce, it is something you practice in a hundred small decisions a day.What stayed with us was her insistence that kindness has to hold even when it is inconvenient, even when it costs you time or comfort in the moment. That is where unreasonable hospitality stops being a nice idea and starts being a discipline.This is a conversation for any leader who wants their culture to be felt, not just stated.Chapters00:00 introduction to unreasonable hospitality05:47 Mia's journey into hospitality08:50 the role of culture in leadership11:51 hiring for culture and team dynamics14:49 leading with kindness and clarity17:56 feedback as a tool for growth21:00 rapid fire questions and final thoughts33:04 Beards Book Club outroKey TakeawaysUnreasonable hospitality means going beyond expectation in ways that are small, specific, and personal. It is not about grand gestures, it is about noticing.Clarity is kindness. Leaders who avoid hard conversations in the name of being nice are often doing the opposite of what their people need.Culture is built through hiring. Bringing in people who already carry your values forward is easier than trying to teach values after the fact.Feedback, given well, is a form of investment in someone's growth rather than a correction of their shortfall.Kindness that only shows up when it is convenient is not really a value. It becomes real in the moments it costs something.Sound Bites"Clarity is kindness.""Sometimes the smallest things are the biggest things.""Leading with kindness even when it's inconvenient."ResourcesUnreasonable Hospitality by Will Ghidara - https://www.amazon.com/s?k=Unreasonable+Hospitality+Will+GhidaraMia Berloni - Teatro Group - https://www.linkedin.com/in/miaberloni/
[Part Two of Two] In Part Two, investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell break down exactly how Parker's attorneys weaponized a judge's old-fashioned notions of what a scared woman looks like — and why South Carolina's appointed judiciary has no reason to care what you think about it… Demand better! Attorneys for a billionaire gas station owner allegedly billed $310,000 (allegedly because the invoices are secret) — the cost of approximately two murder defenses — in secret billings – to punish a journalist for wanting to feel safe at her own deposition. A deposition that was attempted in March and happened in April. Judge R. Keith Kelly obliged them, ordering Mandy to pay $171,500 in attorneys fees and a $5,000 fine to coerce a deposition that already happened back in April. We believe that Mandy's constitutional rights were violated and it makes us worry for all of us. The contempt charge brought by attorneys who represented Alex Murdaugh's convicted co-conspirators and decided by the same judge who lets Gregg Roman continue to dodge his deposition… the lesson is clear: EVADE SERVICE at all costs and skate free. Cooperate to your best ability: and they'll ruin your life in return. Let's Dive In…

We are breaking down the reality of the NBA/WNBA relationship, why Adam Silver can pull rank, and what this lack of autonomy means for Cathy Engelbert's future as WNBA Commissioner.Then, we pivot from the boardroom back to the floor. I've got fresh sound bites from Wednesday's Dallas Wings practice. We are breaking down what Coach Jose Fernandez, Alysha Clark, and Awak Kuier had to say about the current win streak and what will be required for the Dallas Wings to survive their next matchup against the York Liberty.ORIGINALLY STREAMED LATE EVENING WEDNESDAY JULY 17.WATCH:
[Part One of Two] Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell react to a stunning contempt ruling ordering Mandy to pay a $5,000 fine and $171,500 for billionaire Greg Parker's legal fees — a sum greater than what many murder defendants pay for their entire defense, and a penalty whose line-item breakdown has been sealed from Mandy and the public. Mandy argues the ruling has nothing to do with a missed deposition and everything to do with punishing a journalist who refused to stay quiet. David Moses reads directly from South Carolina contempt law to expose how the order may exceed its own legal authority. Then Liz breaks down the bigger picture: the evidence connecting Greg Parker to Gregg Roman, the photos of Mallory Beach's dead body, and the documentary that used them — a puzzle hiding in plain sight while Parker's attorneys keep everyone focused on Mandy. This is a fight for the First Amendment for a woman's safety. And it's just getting started. Let's Dive In…

We're taking it a little easy in July, and in the spirit of that, we're launching something new: Soundbites from the Vault. These are shorter, standalone segments from earlier episodes that we think are worth revisiting, easy to digest, and immediately relevant to your practice.For our first soundbite, we're revisiting one of our favorite conversations from Episode 32 with Steve Gelberg, author of Tuning In: Experiencing Music in Psychedelic States. Steve spent years researching the intersection of music and psychedelic-assisted therapy, and what he shares here has direct practical implications for how you're running your ketamine sessions.This segment gets into something most providers haven't thought deeply about: music isn't just filling the silence. It's doing active therapeutic work, from calming a patient's first fear response as ketamine comes on, to opening access to the subconscious material that makes treatment meaningful. Steve also covers the practical side, including what types of music to use, why lyrics are generally a problem, and how to think about the classical versus ambient debate without getting dogmatic about it.If you've been using the same playlist since you opened, this one is worth 15 minutes of your time.What You'll Gain:· Why music and psychedelics share a unique therapeutic synergy rooted in how both interact with emotional and subconscious experience· How the right music can calm the ego's fear response during the onset of a ketamine session and support deeper therapeutic outcomes· Why lyrics are generally avoided during psychedelic-assisted therapy and what instrumental genres tend to work best· The case for neoclassical music as a middle ground between classical and ambient for ketamine sessions· How to think about patient-chosen music versus therapist-curated playlists, and why avoiding dogma matters more than finding the perfect answerEpisode 60 show notes:00:00:00 Teaser: "The right kind of music…”00:00:33 Episode Introduction and Soundbites from the Vault Launch00:01:32 The Shared Ontology of Music and Psychedelics00:03:37 How Psychedelics Open the Emotional Sphere of Consciousness00:04:41 The Unique Therapeutic Synergy Between Music and Ketamine00:05:08 What Music Is Actually Doing at the Onset of a Ketamine Session00:05:55 How Music Helps Surface the Root of Depression, Phobias, and Trauma00:07:01 Music as an Ancient and Primal Human Tool: Lullabies and Soothing00:08:25 The Case for Healing Female Voices in Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy00:09:41 How to Choose Music for Ketamine Sessions: A Provider's Guide00:10:23 The Classical vs. Ambient Debate: Origins and Context00:11:36 Why Lyrics Are Generally Avoided During Ketamine Therapy00:12:39 Neoclassical Music: The Best of Both Classical and Ambient00:13:39 Avoiding Agitating or Overly Dramatic Music in Sessions00:14:11 Patient-Chosen vs. Therapist-Curated Playlists00:15:12 Why There Should Be No Dogma Around Music Selection00:15:48 Episode Ending and ResourcesThanks for listening
SummaryEvery school has a plan. Fewer schools have a strategy.That distinction is where Garth and I began our conversation with Tom Olverson, author of Leading Through Strategy and The Architect Leader. Tom has spent years helping organizations separate the two, and what became clear early on is that a plan is a list of things to do, while a strategy is a set of integrated choices about where you will win and where you will not even try.For heads of school, that reframe changes everything. It means naming a winning aspiration, understanding the culture you are actually working within rather than the one you wish you had, and accepting that saying yes to one direction means saying no to several others. Tom walks through five questions that help leaders get there, and we spent real time in the tension between honoring tradition and still being willing to move a school forward.What stayed with us most was Tom's language around the head as architect. Not the person who does the building, but the person who designs the conditions under which good building can happen. That shows up in how you hire, how you develop culture, and how much trust you place in talented people to do the work once the conditions are right.This is a conversation for heads of school and aspiring leaders who are tired of plans that sit on a shelf and want language for the harder, more honest work of strategy.Chapters00:00 introduction to leadership and strategy11:49 understanding strategy vs. planning17:39 balancing tradition and progress20:55 the role of heads in leadership27:55 common pitfalls in strategic planning32:25 leaders as architects36:08 hiring talented faculty40:05 the importance of faculty culture43:45 Beards Book Club outroKey TakeawaysStrategy is not the same as planning. A plan lists actions. A strategy makes a bet on where value will come from, and that bet requires real trade offs.A winning aspiration is the starting point. Before a school can build a strategy, its leaders need clarity on what winning actually looks like for that specific community.Heads of school are architects of systems, not just managers of tasks. The job is to design the structures and conditions that let good work happen, then get out of the way.Culture eats strategy without careful attention, which is why understanding the culture you already have matters as much as the plan you are trying to build on top of it.Hiring well and then trusting the people you hired is one of the clearest levers a leader has. Talent thrives inside the right conditions, and creating those conditions is leadership work.Sound Bites"Strategy is a set of integrated choices.""Your winning aspiration defines your vision.""Strategy is about making a bet on value."ResourcesLeading Through Strategy by Tom Olverson - https://www.amazon.com/s?k=Leading+Through+Strategy+Tom+OlversonResource Group 175 - https://resourcegroup175.comGuest LinksWebsite - https://resourcegroup175.comKeep Leading the Lasso Way.
[Part Two of Two] Investigative journalist Mandy Matney is still processing — but she's not shrinking. In Part Two, Mandy begins the episode reflecting on how Greg Parker's scorched-earth legal campaign was supposed to scare her into silence and instead flipped a switch. Then David delivers a blistering First Amendment Moses Moment, calling out Parker's attorneys for using the court as a weapon against a non-party journalist — asking what she was wearing, how many Instagram followers she has, and why she dared to eat dinner in public. And Liz Farrell breaks down Parker's desperate venue transfer motion, which weaponizes LUNASHARK's own Crowd the Courthouse 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0 posts as evidence of jury contamination. Then we roll the tape: Debbie B. Barbier's closing argument, Judge Kelly's bench remarks, and the moment the courtroom turned. The billionaire's lawyers claim billings in the hundreds of thousands of dollars for the failed deposition. But Parker still can't buy or force Mandy's silence. Let's Dive In…
[Part One of Two] The first hearing in Alex Murdaugh's retrial was supposed to signal a new era for Team Murdaugh. Dick Harpootlian promised bigger, bolder, different. What we got instead? Old Dick. Old Trick. Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell break down every move from the June 29 scheduling hearing before Judge Debra McCaslin — the no-nonsense judge who called the warden herself, set a firm April 5, 2027 trial date, and wasn't about to let Dick charm, delay, or bully his way through her courtroom. From the shackle saga to the laptop drama to Team Murdaugh's DNA boondoggle, it's all here. Plus: what Dick's courtroom behavior may reveal about his real strategy — and why the Becky Hill federal lawsuit might not be about the money at all. Let's Dive In…

[Part Two of Two] Before we return to the Horry County internal affairs files, we have to talk about the civil contempt hearing on Monday June 22 at 9am in Spartanburg - see y'all there! In our opinion, team Greg Parker's last-minute attempt to bar LUNASHARK® from filming a public courtroom tells you everything about who fears the sunlight. Then investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell dig into CSI investigator Shellneil Tamasi, a by-the-books officer whose IA interview cuts through the spin. She didn't like towing Scott Spivey's truck with his body still inside. She questioned why guns went back untested. She noticed the rush to "self-defense" before the vehicles were even processed, and the people who didn't belong at the round table. Amid a department we've criticized hard, here's a rare bright spot: a cop who documents, and who says what too many wouldn't. Let's Dive In…
[Part One of Two] Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell dig into the Horry County Police Department's internal affairs investigation of the Scott Spivey case and the looming presence of former Deputy Chief Brandon Strickland throughout it. Strickland insists he "stayed out of it" and "distanced" himself — yet there he is on recorded calls with Weldon Boyd admitting he was "working in the shadows," and — according to his own colleagues — sitting in on a meeting about Weldon Boyd's phone, and walking into the evidence room to say "just give Weldon and Bradley their guns back." We break down the IA interviews and learn more about what went on in the investigation leading up to the decision not to charge Weldon and his co-shooter. The interviews shed light on why the guns weren't tested by SLED, how investigators determined the outcome before evidence was even collect and the odd emergence of the “steroid theory.” Plus: why we'll see you inside the Spartanburg County Courthouse (Courtroom 6d) on Monday, June 22 @ 9am (The 5 Year Anniversary of MMP #1). Wear pink. Let's Dive In…
[Part Two of Two] In Part Two of this two-part episode, investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell share some big news that SLED teams searched the home, business and possibly farm of one of Scott's shooters, Weldon Boyd. Also in the civil wrongful death case against Weldon Boyd and Bradley Williams, Weldon filed a motion on Tuesday asking that Judge Eugene “Bubba” Griffith — who denied Stand Your Ground immunity to Weldon and Williams — recuse himself from the Spivey case altogether, claiming that Judge Griffith tried to get Bradley to lie in exchange for immunity. Weldon's attorney accuses Judge Griffith of violating the most technical rules on allowing the media to film court proceedings. We also share insights on the appointment of Judge Debbie McCaslin who will oversee all decisions in Alex Murdaugh's murder retrial. Plus a quick look at the Netflix Murdaugh 'Instadoc' and the unsealing of court records dealing with the dismissal of Murdaugh juror 785… Let's Dive In…
[Part One of Two] In Part One of this two-part episode, investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell put it all on the table as the Beach family civil conspiracy case against billionaire gas station owner Greg Parker gets EVEN MORE CHAOTIC. Through motions filed Friday, the Beaches accuse Parker, his bank and his counsel of lying, hiding or not producing relevant records and telling a research company to willfully disobey a lawful subpoena. According to the filing, Greg Parker wired $383,000 to an Israeli defense contractor — Demoman International Ltd.— that, according to a 2023 news investigation, serves as a middle man for the sale of highly sophisticated bot-farm software (Advanced Impact Media Solutions) to unscrupulous politicians, governments, corporations and wealthy businessmen to manipulate public opinion using fake social media accounts. Parker unequivocally denies releasing photos of Mallory's dead body to the public, but this latest development raises serious questions about who else might have gotten the photos and why. Plus, why Greg Parker says he can't get a fair trial in Hampton County and says Judge Kelly needs to move the case to … Spartanburg? Let's Dive In…
Sound Bites"You're not dead.""Yeah, right.""What is an anal fissure?"
Break out the tin foil hats, movie theater popcorn, and lots of pins — this one's a doozy. In Part Two, investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell break down one of the strangest lawsuits they've ever seen: Weldon Boyd, the man who shot and killed Scott Spivey, is suing attorney Mark Tinsley. The claim? That Tinsley manufactured a "false narrative" and chased media attention for his own "celebrity status" and "self-aggrandizement" (a phrase used nine times, for the record). With a June 10 motions hearing looming, we unpack Tinsley's motion to dismiss, a bizarre Netflix subpoena for a documentary that doesn't exist, and a fishing-expedition motion to compel naming nineteen people — including the governor and… Mandy, Liz & Beth. Sound familiar? We connect the dots between this case and the coordinated legal war launched against LUNASHARK® in November 2025. Because if we've learned anything in five years, it's that there are no coincidences. Let's Dive In…
Sound Bites:"First time ever I've seen Bert embarrassed. Never.""The Odyssey. Yeah, it was the Odyssey.""Penelope, yeah."
[Part One of Two] In Part One of this two-part episode, investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell begin sharing their reporting on the Horry County Police Department's internal affairs investigation into the what went down during the (shockingly corrupt) Scott Spivey case. In September 2023, 33-year-old Scott Spivey was shot to death on Camp Swamp Road in Loris, South Carolina, by North Myrtle Beach business owner Weldon Boyd and Weldon's friend Bradley Williams. After calling his mama and his lawyer from the scene, Weldon made another call before police arrived: to Horry County Deputy Chief Brandon Strickland. On this episode, we break down the investigation within the investigation. It's not enough that Horry County police repeatedly broke protocol to help protect Weldon from being held accountable for Scott's death, seasoned investigators on the scene completely mismanaged one of the most basic things to an investigation: the crime scene log. Was it sloppy police work? Or was it yet another way to help a buddy? Let's Dive In…
[Part Two of Two] How does a pro–Alex Murdaugh troll theory end up in The New Yorker? In Part Two of Episode #150, investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell trace exactly that. James Lasdun's May 26 New Yorker story leaned into a years-old lie: that LUNASHARK®, Clerk Becky Hill, and attorney Mark Tinsley conspired to plant an "anonymous" email and get the “Egg Lady” booted from Murdaugh's jury. None of it is true — and this week, the receipts come out. For the first time, Mandy and Liz reveal the full story of whistleblower Christine Avery: the real timeline, what the team actually told her, demonstrating how the "Plan A / Plan B" framing falls apart. They expose the "narrative washing" that smuggled Christine's name onto a “Beach v. Greg Parker” witness list, the felon's Ai-generated "slop" and the lazy reporting that let a manufactured theory go national. As South Carolina barrels toward Murdaugh 2.0, this is how disinformation gets dressed up as journalism — and how we plan to punch back. Let's dive in…
[Part One of Two] In Part One of this two-part episode, investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell break down James Lasdun's Becky Hill piece and explain why it reads less like journalism and more like the latest brick in Team Murdaugh's three-year 'narrative-laundering' project. From the recycled "pizza conspiracy" to the false claim that Mark Tinsley has known Christine Avery since 2020, this is what happens when a writer for the New Yorker wanders onto a Murdaugh chessboard perhaps without realizing he's a playing piece. Mandy and Liz connect the dots between Dick Harpootlian's subpoena-power threats, Greg Parker's attorneys, the Egg Lady juror's book written with a convicted felon, and the recycled smears designed to discredit the credible voices standing between Alex Murdaugh and an acquittal at his retrial. Receipts are coming in Part Two — out Friday. Get your pins ready... Let's Dive in…
[Part Two of Two] Read this with a Film Noir voice in your head (Think Maltese Falcon or China Town)
[Part One of Two] As Houston, Texas accused murderer Lee Gilley awaits word on his fate after fleeing to Milan, Italy, investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell are on the case. Will Italy grant him asylum, or treat him as a criminal to be extradited back to the United States? New details have emerged about Lee's plan to escape his Houston trial for allegedly killing his wife, Christa Bauer Gilley, and their unborn child in October 2024. Lee's brother, Matt Gilley, testified that he didn't help Lee flee on May 1, but said Lee looked different at their mother's deathbed in April — heavier, bearded, with long hair. Matt's Zoom testimony came in an emergency custody hearing for Lee and Christa's two young children. Christa's family fears Lee's relatives will take the kids to Europe, yet a Harris County judge ordered the children returned to Texas. Meanwhile, two of Lee's attorneys move to withdraw and we dig into the 1983 US–Italy Extradition Treaty while Lee's Italian attorney Monica Grosso says that Lee is exhausted from all his recent travels. We're exhausted too, but Let's Dive in…
It happened on a Wednesday… Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell break down the 27-page Alex Murdaugh murder conviction reversal that essentially boils down to two words: Blame Becky. They wrestle with the uncomfortable truth that money seems to help a defendant's chances at the state's highest court — while sticking to their belief that the evidence still points to one person who went down to the kennels and lied about it. In a unanimous 5-0 decision, the South Carolina Supreme Court reversed Alex Murdaugh's double-murder conviction, ruling that Colleton County Clerk Becky Hill "placed her fingers on the scales of justice." They also unpack the court's new guardrails on financial-crimes testimony at retrial, including the gutting decision to call Tony Satterfield's words unfairly prejudicial. Plus: reactions from Eric Bland, Mark Tinsley, AG Alan Wilson, and AG candidate David Pascoe. Same case. Same evidence. Same liar. Round Two starts now. Let's Dive in…
