    Meta's Gone Too Far, Bethenny at Burning Man, Clancy Trial & House of Horrors

    Meta's AI has started suggesting questions like "Who is this child?" under totally innocent family videos, and one mom watched Facebook piece together her kids' names, birth dates, and deleted childhood photos, all from posts she never made public herself. Chalene breaks down the new Meta policy behind it, and why almost nothing you post online is as private as you think. Then, the true crime case investigators are calling the House of Horrors, a self published horror novelist accused of recruiting vulnerable women for violent films, tied to missing women and zero recovered bodies. Plus a wild turn in the Lindsay Clancy trial, where a deadlocked jury got a rare Allen charge and a retired nurse was arrested for filming jurors outside the courthouse. Chalene also breaks down Bethenny Frankel's surprise trip to Burning Man, and casting news fans are calling the biggest shakeup Real Housewives of Beverly Hills has had in years. Topics discussed: Meta AI, Facebook, doxxing, social engineering, Bethenny Frankel, Burning Man, The Man Will Burn, Lindsay Clancy, Patrick Clancy, Allen charge, Kevin Reddington, Dawn Light, House of Horrors, Raymond Horsch, Eugene Horsch, Leah Remini, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.   Join Chalene on Patreon her private podcast to hear all the latest on the Penthouse Drama and the episode with a Renowned Pet Psychic  👉chalene.com/more    🚨Questions Chalene Wants Your Thoughts on: Do you think Meta's AI has gone too far and are you concerned?  Could you survive Burning Man?

    New GLP-1 for Alcohol Addiction and IBS, Instagram's AI Fake Crackdown + 5 New Health Tools

    Eli Lilly is testing a new GLP-1 called brenipatide in phase three trials, and weight loss isn't even the main focus, researchers are watching it for alcohol use disorder, opioid addiction, bipolar disorder, and IBS. Chalene Johnson also breaks down a new Yale University study on why the hunger hormones ghrelin and leptin roar back the moment someone stops taking a GLP-1. Then Chalene calls out an Instagram account called Baddie Bethany (also posting as Baddie Betty on Facebook), nearly a million followers and Instagram is rolling out a brand new AI content label. She also flags an AI "Dr. Chen" wellness account blending real health facts with false ones to earn trust. Plus, five new health devices she's watching, including a toilet sensor called Throne, an AI skin scanner called SkinBit, and a caregiving wearable from the founders of Fitbit. Topics discussed: Eli Lilly, brenipatide, Zepbound, Yale University, ghrelin, leptin, berberine, Baddie Bethany, Baddie Betty, Dr. Chen, Chen Family Wellness, Carrie Sisson, Instagram, Throne, SkinBit, Prenuvo, 3D Radiology, Eight Sleep, Apple, Fitbit, Lufu, Lindsey Clancy trial.   Join Chalene on Patreon her private podcast to hear all the latest on the Penthouse Drama and the Session with a Renowned Pet Psychic  👉chalene.com/more    Book your virtual visit today with MIDI! 👉chalene.com/test   🚨Questions Chalene Wants Your Thoughts on: Would a GLP-1 built for addiction, not weight, help you?

    Chalene Under TikTok Attack Over Clancy Trial & Top Hormone Doctors' Feud

    Dolly Parton's death has sparked a push to make September 25 a national holiday, National Dolly Parton Day, a nod to her song "9 to 5," and Chalene Johnson breaks down the philanthropy behind it, including Jeff Bezos's $100 million Courage and Civility Award and over 300 million books donated through her charity work. Then Chalene explains how she woke up "Under Attack" on TikTok over a conspiracy theory tied to the Lindsay Clancy murder trial, after Patrick Clancy's attorney threatened content creators with defamation lawsuits and a stranger's video twisted what Chalene actually said about the case. Plus, the strange doctor wars breaking out in women's healthcare over HRT and testosterone pellets, why the Women's Health Initiative got it wrong, and a new legging lawsuit involving Buffbunny. Topics discussed: Dolly Parton, National Dolly Parton Day, Jeff Bezos, Courage and Civility Award, Dixie Stampede, Lindsay Clancy, Patrick Clancy, TikTok, defamation, postpartum psychosis, epistemic closure, Midi, Women's Health Initiative, HRT, testosterone pellets, Buffbunny, Vitality, leggings lawsuit.

    Dolly Parton Dies, Golf Ad Backlash, Meta Glasses Debate & Clancy Trial Update

    Dolly Parton died at age 80, just months after telling fans in May that her whole system was out of whack and she needed to slow down for treatment, with no official cause of death released yet. Chalene Johnson also breaks down the Callaway Golf ad pulled within hours of airing, where Good Good cofounder Garrett Clark tackles professional golfer Alexis Mistowski over a driver, and asks the uncomfortable question critics won't touch. Plus, the backlash Chalene got for wearing Meta smart glasses, and why she isn't backing down. Then, the latest from the Lindsay Clancy murder trial, where defense attorney Reddington's cross examination of the prosecution's expert witness may have just changed the case, backed by brand new 2026 research out of UCL on how postpartum psychosis actually works. Topics discussed: Dolly Parton, Callaway Golf, Good Good, Garrett Clark, Alexis Mistowski, Chip Brewer, PGA Tour, Meta glasses, Ray-Ban Meta, Kylie Jenner, Lindsay Clancy, Patrick Clancy, Cora Clancy, Dawson Clancy, Callan Clancy, Dr. Mack, Dr. Helbron, postpartum psychosis, UCL research, GoFundMe, Heard foundation.

    Lindsay Clancy Trial | Postpartum Psychosis or Did Patrick Clancy Do It?

    Lindsay Clancy, the Massachusetts labor and delivery nurse on trial for killing her three children, ages five, three, and eight months, received more than 30 different psychiatric prescriptions in just four months and was never diagnosed with postpartum psychosis before the killings. While she has admitted to the murders, a wave of TikTok and true crime creators has spent the past week building an entirely different case against her husband, Patrick Clancy, pointing to a half marathon photo with his now wife, Dr. Rachel Danis, a Bratz doll crime scene recreation, and a Nancy Grace segment about the couple sitting too close together. Chalene checked every theory against the actual court testimony. She also breaks down the one piece of evidence the judge won't let the public hear, Patrick's 911 call, described by courtroom insiders, including NBC10 Boston's Sue O'Connell, as the most gut wrenching audio they have ever heard. Topics discussed: Lindsay Clancy, Patrick Clancy, Cora Clancy, Dawson Clancy, Callan Clancy, Dr. Rachel Danis, McLean Hospital, postpartum psychosis, postpartum depression, SSRIs, Bermuda Half Marathon, Don't F**k with Cats, Nancy Grace, Shannon Hill, Sue O'Connell, Commonwealth Confidential, Casey Anthony, George Anthony, Chris Watts.   Join Chalene on Patreon her private podcast to hear all the latest on the Penthouse Drama and upcoming episode Session with a Renowned Pet Psychic  👉chalene.com/more    🚨Questions Chalene Wants Your Thoughts on: Do you believe what you see on social media about true crime cases?
