    DEADLOCKED: The Lindsay Clancy Mistrial & The Death of a Pastor’s Wife | EP. 12

    After days of deliberation ended in a deadlock and mistrial in the Lindsay Clancy case, Channing and Vanessa unpack the outcome, the competing narratives around responsibility and mental health, and what it means when a jury cannot agree. Then they turn to Netflix’s Death of the Pastor’s Wife, reacting to Mica Miller’s story and the documentary’s portrayal of coercive control, church accountability, and the people who tried to speak up. They also catch up on the Stranger Session applications, family sick-day rules, wild dreams, sleep paralysis, and the adulting moments that keep the episode moving.
