    These Three Kings

    Let us know what you think of this episode with a text! It’s Advent—the season of the one true King—yet somehow we end up with a judge who worshipped the King of Rock ’n’ Roll so hard it ruined him. And then there’s Scott: the self-appointed monarch of society’s misfits, bestowing gifts upon his ragtag kingdom with questionable grace and undeniable receipts. A tight, fast-moving episode where reverence meets ridiculousness.

    There’s a Lotta Love in Jersey

    Let us know what you think of this episode with a text! We dive into the wildly ironic saga of a former New Jersey cop who’s suing her department for sexual harassment—while simultaneously pleading guilty to a grab-bag of violent, domestic related crimes. It’s messy, it’s absurd, and it’s one of those stories where every new detail makes you rub your temples a little harder.

    Let's Not Try That Again

    Let us know what you think of this episode with a text! In this episode, we revisit some truly bold decision-making: • New York City decides Communism needed another chance through better marketing. • A courtroom virtual cameo featuring… no pants. • And a police pursuit where the pursuit car (and driver) were basically on loan. Proof that bad ideas don’t die — they just get retried with extreme confidence.
