All I know is what I've been told, and that to have truth is a whole lie. For almost a decade, the murder of an 18-year-old girl from a small town in Graves County, Kentucky, went unsolved, until a local homemaker, a journalist, and a handful of girls came forward with a story. I'm telling you, we know Quincy killed her. We know. A story that law enforcement used to convict six people and that got the citizen investigator on national TV. Through sheer persistence and nerve, this Kentucky housewife helped give justice to Jessica Curran.

My name is Maggie Freeling. I'm a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, producer, and I wouldn't be here if the truth were that easy to find. I did not know her and I did not kill her. Or rape or burn or any of that other stuff, You said it. They literally made me say that I took a match and struck and threw it on her. They made me say that I poured gas on her.

Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the Iheart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Hello, the internet and welcome to this week trend edition of New Daily's

guys yeah yeah oh my god you're so horny this morning mouth yeah my name is how you used to do the opening if people were really listening to the early episodes it wasn't always the dean scream I was going yeah I do remember that I don't remember it ever being this horny um but maybe your mic is you're on the road your mic's a little bit warmer than usual I can hear everything and I love jack you don't even know when I'm horny anymore that's right not picking up on the signals oh all right He keeps looking at me with this look and going, What?

You're okay? Your partner and be like, what? What's wrong? You're looking at it. And I take the carnation out of my hair and I spike it on the ground. What we say so far that I'm Jack, your Miles. This is the episode where we tell you what is trending, what was trending this weekend? What's trending this Monday morning?

First, we tell you a little bit about ourselves. by telling you something we think is overrated, underrated, enough of these fucking guests, all right? What about us? What about us? The host of this twice daily podcast does that one get to hear from us? You have no idea who we are.

Miles, what is something that you think is underrated? Okay, I just saw one battle after another over the weekend. Yes. It was a good time. We're officially a 100% having seen one battle after another.

rare moment in the show where we've both seen the movie that everyone's talking about. Shout out to my mother-in-law for being able to watch the guy's child so we could sneak out and I could eat old bay on popcorn in Maryland in a Maryland movie theater.

But I gotta say Leonardo DiCaprio's throat acting underrated. He does this thing in like a dialogue when he's not speaking and he's reacting, he kind of like half

swallows. You know, you can hear the throat sort of actuating, articulating a little bit. Yeah. Really adds a lot. I kept noticing that. I'm like, oh, and it's not a thing I think limited to him, but I think because I saw the movie, I'm like, this guy's fuck, he's got the goods. And also, I just think overall an underrated aspect about Leonardo DiCaprio, his comedic

acting is actually really underrated because there's, to me, Leonardo DiCaprio is at his best when he's playing a strong out panicked guy where shit is going always going wrong for him there's just like something about his frustration like when he's like what the fuck like when he's yeah you know like in a lot of those scenes

his like physical acting where he's just so paranoid and like flopping on the ground because he thinks someone's going to see him I really enjoyed that shit and I realize I'm like oh that's kind of why I liked Wolf of Wall Street it really wasn't the story itself I just like seeing Leonardo DiCaprio like as a strung out panic guy. Yeah. And it's just

hilarious. He's once upon a time in Hollywood too. He's like getting a lot of roles as a has been for somebody who's like kind of still I wonder if they just recognize that that's a fear of his. And so like they're casting in that. He can tap into it.

Yeah, yeah. But yeah, he's like kind of, he's great. And I feel like there's so many good performances. Benicio del Toro is getting a lot of attention online. He's great. He's like got I feel like Lebowski energy a little bit, you know, like that everybody, I saw someone be like, his character made me start like drinking alcoholically again because he just makes drinking beer seem so cool. Dude, the way they're pounding Modellos while driving is just like,

it is a fucking man, Viva la Revolution. It's the rare pro drunk driving, uh, PSA. movie yeah um but yeah yeah yeah honestly Sean Penn really freaked the Sean Penn's character yeah amazing character his performance got stuck in my head like a like a song you know like I kept thinking about the way he moves in oh yeah the way he walks just like as I was like walking I was like thinking about that guy yeah um it's it's crazy I love I love the villain organization I won't I won't ruin it yeah yeah yeah yeah I was to go go check it out we'll keep it qualitative at this point that it's there there's some great performances i've only spoiled throat acting for people i think at this point so watch for the throat act watch for that

throat um the throat the real throat goat guys no no no tooth acting in this one no no but definitely some straight windpipe solid windpipe acting all right my underrated is the great peshtigo fire um this for my kids random questions this weekend, you know, they lived through L.A.'s wildfires earlier in the year and it's always kind of near the top of their mind. There's, you know, dreams and stuff like a, like a dare talk. You ain't seen shit. Sit out. Turn my chair around. Scared straight. What do you guys know about a little wildfire? Seems like you still got a house, huh? Dad, wear his pants wet. Don't worry about that you listen up you listen good but anyways they asked what the deadliest fire in all of history

was oh my god we which i don't i try not to be like that's that's too dark like what's wrong yeah yeah all right you want to know so yeah we just we just look it up you know and usually we'll guess before we look it up and then you know talk about our guesses before and we all guessed the great chicago fire actually my seven-year-old guest uh san francisco in 1911 because of like there was an earthquake and I know there was a mass of fire. They just read just mainline like books about natural disasters. Yeah. I was going to be like at this age.

Do you guys read about the Dresden fire bombings? Yeah. Yeah, yeah. If we're talking natural, not fire bombings, that's its own category. I think that's its own category. Yeah, yeah. But the great Chicago fire was not, that's just the one that like we had heard of. I don't think it's even in the top 10.

but the deadliest fire happened on the same night Oh shit So it happened It was like Wisconsin So same region Same night And it took out just like Millions of Square Acres

The fact that they happened on the same night Is also I don't know It's instructive because You may remember dipshit celebrities spreading the theory that someone was running around L.A. Starting the L.A. Because why else would totally distinct fires happen at the same time across the city?

And the answer is as simple and obvious as being like, why would buildings in different parts of Miami get damaged by the same hurricane? It's like there's a single event happening that's causing it. It's like the way that wind gets written out of the history of like what causes wildfires is so weird. So I was like, I got this stuck in my head. I was like looking up on like the story of the Pestigo fire. And there's this article on like weather.gov that is like the story of the Pestigo fire gleaned from survivor accounts and conjecture is that railroad workers clearing land for tracks that Sunday evening started a brush fire, which somehow became an inferno. It had been an unusually dry summer.

and the fire moved fast. What was making it move fast? Yeah. Do you think? It was in a car. Some survivors said it moved so fast. It was like a tornado. What's tornado made out of?

What is that stuff? What's that stuff that's making that shit move around? But yeah, shout out to that Cal for the Chicago fire because, you know, the fact that's a thing that's set it off. That's, that's, there's like an old song about Miss O'Leary's cow or some shit that I learned when I was in preschool, but I feel like it's a good metaphor also for like how we read stories in history and in the news now, like a cow knocks over a lantern, like cows presumably do all the time without burning down the city. It just happened to be in a generational windstorm

that was causing like the biggest fires ever across the region. And everyone's like, man, that fucking cow really fucking. Here I was thinking it was like, I thought it was like a parallel for like sports it's like well that was like a small market disaster i think it's also that i think it's for sure that yeah yeah but they just won the finals really where are they in milwaukee okay yeah yeah um but anyways uh shout out to underrated great peshtigo fire but overall even more underrated the role of wind and fires like yeah exactly consistently people are like they had a front row seat at that one they want to hear about the wind they want to hear about the santa anna's blowing to know something about that?

Like a bellows into hell. That's right. All right. Miles, what is something you think is overrated? Just reading headlines generally. Because people, so many people do this and I get it,

it feels like the headlines should give us, you're like, okay, I saw that headline. But so many headlines are so fucking deceptive, especially right now, like the amount of weird cope headlines that are written about the administration

are like dangerous. Yeah. Or it's like, oh, Trump humiliated by blah, blah, blah. It's like, that's, that doesn't mean anything stopped. And you're, you're going off of, you're trying to connect one tweet he did to be like, and he's mad about it. So then what? Right.

Like you're giving people a false sense of like progress or that people are resisting effectively. And while there are people doing that, I think it's, just read the whole fucking thing. Like the story we talked about last week, the Tilly Norwood thing, the amount of headlines, I've seen just since then, like with, you know, you know how people are kind of late to certain stories and like, then they finally get their like Tilly Norwood thing out. There's like one advice that was like, Tilly Norwood has every, like, Hollywood scared. And yeah, it was, like, we talked about it and it just kept going like after that. I don't know what's wrong with people that.

I mean, they obviously all listen to the Daily Zike guys. I don't know how they fucked this up. What's going on? But like not to mention, like, like we're saying in the show, it's like according to the person, whose, like, fortunes depend on people talking about this. They are lying and saying, oh, yeah, we've, we've been approached by talent agencies. I can't name them. And I will announce in a very future date, undefined future date, who we will be signing

with, again, just to give the impression that this thing is sought after or even. For people who didn't catch that episode, like the mainstream media. How dare you? First of all, how dare you? Yeah, we don't even want you listening to this. episode I mean. Yeah. No, it's a, this is an AI actress who the person who invented this AI actress was like, we're starting to get inquiries from talent agencies about signing her probably. Like, it really was like that half-assed. Yeah. And so many journalistic outlets. Like, so we talked

about that. We talked about how it was like really assuming a lot to be like, yeah, this is going to work. There's not much footage of her. Like if you the stuff that's available is terrible. Yeah. If you look at the videos that they're sharing, like it's all the same like five minutes of footage of this AI

actress. Um, and this person like brought, like revealed it at some conference and then said in an interview that they were getting inbound inquiries from talent agencies. But it was also like part of a work of satire in some ways.

Yeah, but it's not because she's launched a whole talent agency studio for it. It's like, okay, sure, you can lull your way into the AI scam. But anyway, read the headlines. And because there's, again, in every way, they're trying to give people all kinds of weird impressions. And if you actually read, you're like, this is actually the opposite of what you're implying in your headline. And I just think it's just a sad state of things where journalism is kind of, or not even journalism, like content, online content, masquerading is new. news kind of just like three hours ago meet tilly

norwood the AI actress making Hollywood very nervous yeah um it's just like I don't I don't know meet Tilly Norwood the AI actress whose creator is launching a AI talent agency and

claims that yeah is getting inbound inquiry or how about this Tilly Norwood fucking sucks shit yeah Tilly Norwood next not that good Yeah, and the inventor is cappin. Doesn't know where to lock her eyes. The one thing that actors are really good at

cannot do anything with eye contact. Has trouble with eye lines. This one simple trick, actors don't want you to know. That's true. And I'm actually not allowed to say it. It involves eyeline and throat acting. Let's see. My overrated products with like philosophy on their box

or like their their marketing material is like written in a philosophical way we have you know our kids like cereal we have like these kids cereals that are you know the cleaner alternative

in quotes to you know like posts and general mills and shit but like the bot this is just from their cereal box we believe in better we believe in better health and better taste.

We believe in better breakfast. We believe in better options like whole grains and non-GMO ingredients. Better is a simple idea that holds a whole bunch of promise. That's why we've believed in better from the start. Why are you running for president on the Democratic ticket? What are you doing? Like that's such just like mealy-mouthed DNC bullshit. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

But it's also in the same way that like, I don't know, people have pointed out that the Democratic Party. you know, there's a definition of fascism as like co-opting the language of the left. Right. And it's like, it's what rushes in when there is a need for change that leftist politics would deliver, but it, that is being blocked. And so they take the language of movements and revolution and put it towards the exercise of power for power's sake and like controlling people and violence.

But I think like marketing has been doing this. four years, and I think it's only going, like, as people are more and more desperate, I don't know, I feel like it will only ring more and more hollow to people when, you know, it's on, like, shampoo bottles. This is everywhere, man. No one's reading that shit. Yeah. You know what I mean?

Yeah. It's such wasted space. Like, I feel like I had this same experience after the fire because of so many, like, home goods and, like, things are donated, like, toilet trees and stuff. And, like, you're reading, like, it's lotion. And there's, like, a fucking store. on it about what this company was like I don't know dude does it fucking work I'm like I'm not gonna read this I'm not compelled by it because I think most of the time people are just like

is it affordable right great I don't give a fuck about your like weird backstory you're trying to create we got a little literature for you to read before you uh open is your bar of soap $20 or is it 10 right but yeah I mean I talked last week about the language of community being appropriated like the hospital that I was at last week called a waiting room a town square and I feel like like malls have been doing that shit forever like marketing is just very good at sensing what is needed and just like appropriate what's lacking yeah just like pumping it into our veins like the false version of right now that we long for for good reason yeah it's like right now people are really aspiring to not feel alone.

So let's just do a little tweaks. Let's get in there. A couple tweaks, man. All right. Let's take a quick break, and we'll be right back. Ah, come on. Why is this taking so long? This thing is ancient.

Recently, I had a conversation with the one and only Madonna. When I was broke and I had no friends, nowhere to live, I was held up at gunpoint, I was robbed. All these horrendous things happened to me. I had such an unhappy childhood that whatever happened to me, in New York. It's better than what my life was, so I'm not going back.

Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. And we're big. Oh, we're beak. All right. Some news from the courts. Diddy has been sentenced to five years. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. 50 months in prison, which I'm just trusting. their math on this one, that that equals out to about five years? Let me see. Four times 12 is 48. Oh, but he also did one already.

He's done a year already. He did the year already. I mean, he's going to appeal, I'm sure, but yeah, either way, he was sentenced at the end of last week for transportation to engage in prostitution, I think was the actual charge that he was convicted of um so yeah that that seems to be nearing an end point for that saga uh but then in other nudes go other news did i say other nudes yeah yeah you couldn't you did say that yeah that's that was odd um well another news through that another time uh galane maxwell she was hoping the supreme court would do her a solid and she's like i need my case thrown i overturned

my conviction because of the deal that was made with Acosta, they, they were very, they just quickly rejected that attempt. And, you know, I think, you know, she was hoping to get a retrial, but apparently it was a bridge too far for a high court that has been on a streak of being on the worst side of recorded history. So I was, I mean, I was and I wasn't surprised. I'm like, that's just such an abject failure. But again, it's been abject failure after abject failure.

yeah um so she will continue to serve her 20 year sentence um a pretty nice prison and a pretty yeah pretty nice prison yeah she she because she tried to help the doj act like donald trump has nothing to do with anything epstein ever did and be like well i never saw anything untoward her reward was to be moved to a low security prison which violated their own regulations in terms of having like sex criminals in there at least she's now hanging out with elizabeth holmes and jen shaw from the real housewives of Salt Lake City. They're all in that same place. They're so mean to me in this prison for reasons I don't want to get into.

I don't deserve this. I don't deserve this. They keep making me put money in their accounts, their commissary. All right. So we all remember the Army birthday parade that Trump through. And it didn't go that well. That was back in June. The, I think, defining image for me was the,

tanks silently squeaking alone. Driving down the streets of Washington, D.C. to like a handful of people. And I'm just like, it, it, like sounding like just the oldest bed possible. Yeah, just the squeakiest tanks ever.

Yeah. So Trump kind of took that in as an L and he was like, we're doing the Navy's 250th birthday celebration. And it's going to be macho. It's going to be manly, macho. Basically a military stunt show is what he wanted. And he got it because they know he's dumb and they're like,

just make it loud and a bunch of shit happening and he's going to love it. There was like a jet that had like President Trump like emblazoned on it. And he was like, yes, great. Good. What else? Could you make it look like it look like it's a transformer that transforms into me? Exactly. Exactly.

Then he, you know, there's like jets flying overhead. They just shot a bunch of shit into the sea like missiles and like artillery. like stupid to just like and make the guns go boom like they can go bang bang yeah we saw how they did charlie kirk's memorial this is a person who there you know uh everybody was mourning and they turned it like it looked like a wwe wrestling event of course like there was just explosions and fireworks and just some of the wildest shit i mean yeah this was a huge thing i remember when my grandmother passed away they were trying to prevent me from doing a pyrotechnics display in the funeral home right um

And they won, but in the end. Won again. Yeah. Yeah. Not Trump's America. But so, yeah, they, they, they, he also had a bunch of sailors who aren't even being paid right now because of the shutdown, chanting USA. I know people who went to an air show this weekend and like had to settle for the Canadian

Air Force because all US Air Force. We let those fuckers come down here? I know. Presumably like on a bunch of planes made out of wood. A maple syrup. Yeah. But they, the official explanation was like that, you know, there's a government shutdown. But apparently they were all just doing the big boom booms for dadda.

Yeah. He did tell them, he's like, look, guys, I know you're not getting paid, but I got you. I got you. Which everyone wants to hear when they're owed money is the reassurances that Donald Trump has their back. That's right. But yeah, like he was, and while he was at this, like, birthday, he gave a, I guess we call it a speech. I think to anyone who hasn't ever had an elderly relative in an assisted living facility that you went to visit

and they just are like, please don't leave. Please, can I tell you all kinds of things right now? Yeah, he did a lonely old man monologue for a captive audience. And rather than talking about anything relevant, he just, it was all over the place. He just did the same shit. Half the country is your fucking enemy. Wow.

fucking terrifying And then he said this shit There's this like lie he's been saying Where he fucking knew He said he was he flagged bin Laden As like being a problem A full year before 9-11 happened Fucking knew it

And I knew it And in this he's talking about it And I told Pete I don't know if he meant recently Like he's like I was just telling Pete Or maybe he's anyway Here's Donald Trump saying I wrote a book I think

Or I think I said Oh Osama Obama bin Laden was bad, here's Trump. But I said one year before to Pete Hankseth, I said one year before Wispeet, in the book, I wrote, whatever the hell the title, I can't tell you.

But I can tell you, there's a page in there devoted to the fact that I saw somebody named Osama bin Laden and I didn't like it and you got to take care of him. They didn't do it a year later. He blew up the World Trade Center. So we've got to take a little credit because nobody else is going to give it

to me, you know, the old story? They don't give you credit. Just take it yourself. And it was the U.S. Navy that dumped his... Anyway, so he's like, in the Navy, you guys got rid of his body or something. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The name of the book or whatever the hell it was called.

I don't know what it is called. I mean, to be fair, why would he remember a thing he absolutely put no work into at all? Yeah. So I think, I guess it's fair that he wouldn't know that. But it also just the claim is utter bullshit. Like the thing he's talking about, out in the book was basically a description about how the news cycle would, like, move on

from one villain to the next. They're like, they're too hard on this guy, Bin Laden. Yeah. They're just looking for the villain of the week. Well, it goes bin Laden to me to, you know, everybody's, everybody's too mean to take care of it. You know what I mean? You got to take care of him. But again, he was just sort of like, it's, it's not him saying he's a clear and present

danger. He just sort of like mentions the name and he's like, yeah, there's a whole page in there, the guy that I had wrote the right write the book for me put in there. Yeah. There were so many like that that's a thing that we now know is that

9-11 could have been avoided because everybody fucking knew. Everybody knew Bin Laden. Like Bin Laden was already famous. Yeah. I was deeply unplugged from the world at that time. I could have told you bin Laden wasn't a huge fan of the United States.

Like he was a celebrity. They were doing like interviews with him on fucking 60 minutes and shit about like how this guy, he was like the face of global terror. Yeah. He's like, I said, bad guy, he's a bad ombre, and nobody gives me credit for that.

It's like, what? I think everyone did, you fucking weirdo. I mean, also like, just remember the fucking USS coal bombing. That was like from, I think for most people who maybe weren't totally in tune, that was like the beginnings of Osama people being like, Osama bin Laden?

Yeah, yeah. He gave that speech backed by a sea of sailors looking like the cast from a Broadway musical about the Navy. I didn't know they did those little like Navy blue bandanas tied around their neck still. It's like they look like little boy blue. Like it's so cute. But they're all just standing there. You know that after the, you know, failed army parade, like they juiced this. And after Pete Heggseths, like, they seem remarkably comfortable, just bombing, you know? They're just up there. They're just rambling on, and everyone's just like, it's because they can't read the room. You know, they have no, they just think because people are physically there because they've

been ordered to means, you know, total enthusiasm. And while there are many people who are enthusiastic about it, like, they're just so used to being around sycophants. It's just the mere presence of people as they talk is always like, and this is a friend of audience that I can't bomb in front of even if I tried. They love me, folks. They wrote my name on a plane. made it go boom.

They shot a missile into the air. That's right. All right. The Trump administration continues to use ICE to invade U.S. cities, as Trump described it to be a testing ground, a practice for war. In Chicago, he also mentioned, as we talked about last week, that he was planning on targeting Portland, but in an emergency hearing on Sunday, U.S. District Judge Karen Emmergut temporarily blocked the Trump administration from deploying National Guard troops from Texas and California to Portland.

That was the second time that she had to do that. So she put a block on them using the Oregon National Guard. And then they were like, okay, well, she didn't say we couldn't do Texas and California. And so she was like, I mean, pretty well implied. Okay, fine. Anywhere then. Right. Yeah, the lawyer that was representing the administration,

like the judge asked him like, are you just trying to circumvent my order? By then just being like, well, if it can't be Oregon, then what about California or Texas? Yeah. Yeah.

And I mean, the, again, it's a war, quote unquote, war zone in Portland and not because of DHS goons deploying there

and pepper spraying and like releasing chemical munitions on protesters. It's because it's such a war zone. It's out of control. I mean, don't look at the crime statistics. Apparently it's one of the safest

places in the U.S. But look, that's not the point. It's to inflict as much pain and suffering on these democratically led cities as possible. But you know, it's Portland. Obviously, this is a liberal activist judge who, oh, wait, it's a Trump appointee. Yeah. He previously worked as the U.S. District Attorney for Oregon after being appointed by George W. Bush.

Before that, she worked for Kenneth Starr during the Bill Clinton sex scandal. Yeah. But that's the thing. Yeah, we're counting on conservative judges to, like, hold things together. That's how good good things are right now. Like, I mean, the con, I mean, like, I'm kind of a backwards person, but the constitution, I still think you got to, like, I agree that part, at least.

We overlap on that thing. That part. Yeah. But yeah, like, I mean, this is like one of those things or even like the, like, you know, Portland police are even like, yeah, we didn't really witness any criminal activity from protesters. This is just they're, they're fucking, these. federal agitators are coming in and again doing every single thing they can to try and

escalate the situation to begin to really clamp down on everything like free speech and like militarizing cities but yeah the tour continues i mean miles you're in the near near the war zone just outside of the capital yeah yeah it's a war zone i was just walking here you're just keeping your head down bullet sailing over your head um what do you yeah man people in there man i went to a pub to watch Arsenal play over the weekend with comedian Jamel Johnson, who's out here right now, so we hung out for a second. And it was crazy. There are these two black guys smoking weed together who look like comedians. It could have been me. I don't know. Or some other guy. It's, it smells like weed all over the place. There's a lot of people wearing boat shoes,

just an absolute war zone out here. You know what's so terrifying? Naval war zone, all those boat shoes. Like when being around SEC, like SEC football fans is actually, man, when you start seeing motherfuckers pull up in their golf polos for like Clemson or like I think North Carolina played Clemson over the weekend and just the amount of golf polos. So it's like this is what DC like this is they're here, baby. Yeah. You need an SEC golf polo. They're here. And it was my favorite thing. I kept fucking with people.

I'd be like, come on. I guess I'd say, come on, tigers. And they're like, yeah, man. Yeah. I don't even know what their fucking sayings are. I'm like, all right, tar heels are like, hell yeah, man. Right. Okay.

I just love how. Tigers? No, that's, those roll. Tiger uppercut? Yeah, that's street fighter. Oh, fuck. Just a bunch of dudes in polos tucked into their khakis with like fluffy bangs. Just saying, fair enough.

Fair enough to each other. I feel like that's the vibes of the SEC. Fuck you, dude. All right, fair enough, dude. Fair enough, man. Fuck you.

Fuck you. Fuck the Tar Heels. All right, we're going there. Fair enough, dude. We're going there. All right. Fair enough.

So check out the Stuff You Should Know true crime playlist. on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. All I know is what I've been told, and that's a half-truth is a whole lie. For almost a decade,

the murder of an 18-year-old girl from a small town in Graves County, Kentucky, went unsolved, until a local homemaker, a journalist, and a handful of girls, came forward with a story. I'm telling you, we know Quincy Kilder, we know. A story that law enforcement used to convict six people,

and that got the citizen investigator on national TV. Through sheer persistence and nerve, this Kentucky housewife helped give justice to Jessica Curran. My name is Maggie Freeling. I'm a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, producer, and I wouldn't be here if the truth were that easy to find. I did not know her, I did not kill her, or rape or burn or any of that other stuff that y'all said it.

They literally made me say that I took a match and struck and threw it on her. They made me say that I poured gas on her. From Lava for Good, this is Graves County. A show about just how far our legal system will go in order to find someone to blame. America, y'all better work the hell up. Bad things happens to good people in small towns.

When I was broke and I had no friends, nowhere to live, I was held up at gunpoint, I was robbed. Always horrendous things happened to me. I had such an unhappy childhood that whatever happened to me in New York is better than what my life was. So I'm not going back. Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the Iheart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. and this weekend was about a different kind of Swift boats Taylor Swift

Fucking John Kerry reference Taylor Swift pulled a boat in it was a big one it was the life of a showgirl cruise ship I'm going to stop with this metaphor dropped on Friday

got pretty mixed reviews I think the people that I follow on social media were poised to not love it. And so that's mostly what I got. I had to ask a quotes of her of the lyrics that I was like,

for real, for real? Yeah, I had to ask a Swifty to be like, what's your take? Because there's a, like, in social media, there's either people who are like, yeah, it's not bad. And other people are like, this is such a fucking L for Taylor Swift.

Like, what the fuck is this album at all? Yeah. Or people being like, you're too old to be talking about shit like this now. Like fucking get it. it together and when I asked a friend they're like it's always just going to be like this like if you

if you live to hear Taylor Swift's music then another Taylor Swift album is what you want but also said it's not my favorite it's like the light scaling review that I got but not to the point of like it's fucking L city but the movie when I

went to go see one battle after another I didn't realize that there was this thing happening and I was like what the fuck are all these kids doing here? My God one battle after another is doing great with this next generation. I'm not joking. I was like, are these kids here to see one? I mean, okay, man, teach the you. They're handing

on friendship bracelets. This is so cute for one battle after another. Yeah, so she did another thing with the, you know, we talked about how her eras tour live event that like went through movie theaters. It was basically a concert film.

Limited, limited, a dish concert film like broke box office records for that sort of thing when she did that last year during the Erez tour. So this time she did something kind of different

where it was basically it's like a listening party to like an album release party where it's like a listening party where everyone kind of sits around listens to the music and it was the number one movie at the box office.

Yeah, I'd believe it. I mean, whatever she puts out, people are like, yeah, I'm having it. Yeah. A three-day release event made 33 million domestically but it was just an 89-minute

mix of music of music videos, behind the scenes footage, and a series of lyric videos for tracks on her new album. It easily beat the Smashing Machine, which did poorly. Oh, six million, I think it's getting good reviews. But yeah, that wasn't, I don't think that was what we were looking for from the rock on that one, from the rock fans. He should have done a Taylor Swift movie. He should have, you know. Exactly.

But people were saying that there was potentially, there was AI being used in some of the promotional videos for this Taylor Swift thing. and a lot of you're like, oh, my God. What the fuck? Yeah, so the reviews range for Rolling Stone gave it five out of five stars. Just when the world thought Swift couldn't climb any further is how one part of the review starts out. That sounds like a compromised review right there.

Yeah, at gunpoint. No, but I mean, some people are going to love this shit. Some people are, you know, not going to be feeling it. The Guardian, on the other hand, which this feels like, more in line with the consensus. Again, my consensus just might be haters just based on social media. But they called it dull, razzle, dazzle from a star who seems frazzled.

Okay. I don't even like that either. I will not accept rhyming fucking riffs. I'm sorry. Like, I also can't take you seriously anymore. Yeah, yeah. Dull, razzle, from a star who sees frazzled. Next at 11.

Yeah. But the main thing that I see people talking about, there's a couple, songs that jumped out to people where people are like doing lyric videos or just like videos of people listening to the song for the first time and just being kind of like getting the ick. You get to like

witness somebody like feel like gross as as they hear the song for the first time. But there there's one song that appears to be devoted entirely to Travis Kelsey's dick. It's called Wood.

Oh. Well we don't know Jack for sure. could be in anything. So we're just going to go through the lyrics and we're going to let you guys make up your mind. All right. So forgive me. It sounds cocky. He amatized me and opened my eyes.

Redwood tree. It ain't hard to see. His love was the key that opened my thighs. Amitized is interesting. She's trying to say dictmatized and didn't want to say. And I don't think wanted to say that. Yeah. That would be too on the note.

for my song, Wood, about the redwood tree that opened mine thighs. No, no clue what exactly. Girls, I don't need to catch the bouquet. To know a hard rock is on the way. And baby, I'll admit, I've been a little superstitious. The curse on me was broken by your magic wand. Seems to be that you and me, we make our own luck. New heights.

New heights. Oh, wow. There you go. That's loud to reference your husband's podcast and Dick in the same song. yeah i mean it's the dream really i know what to ask her majesty for a gift next year this is what love is i i do feel like they i wish i could find the tweet but somebody was like um described like taylor swift marrying travis kelsey is like yeah but i mean i get it she's getting like fucked by an oak tree the first time uh and that appears to have been a potent metaphor that

It might have caught on. New Heights of manhood. I ain't got a knock on wood. Do you think he's got a tiny one? Is this some cope? No, I don't think he has a tiny one. I feel like this is her being like. God damn.

They're like, that boy got some meat. I think he's got some meat. I wonder if he had that is the next follow-up. She just gets more explicit. We're like, yeah, we know. It's just like, it's called Travis's cock. In case you didn't know what I meant, talking about his implement.

You know what I'm saying? All right, guys, his penis is huge. He's got a big penis that's hard and that I can knock on it. It's like wood. Has anybody ever used that metaphor before calling erect penises wood? Or did I just make that up?

I'm kind of a genius with it is what people don't realize. The thing about me, found new ways to talk about the peen. I used the phrase morning wood when I was in high school. school. Well, I'm glad. Good for her. You know, I'm kind of a heart of a poet. I'm sure also, too, like, with everything, that

probably also has to be a veiled shot at an X too. Who's going to hear that and be like, he has a redwood tree? But what about my humble bonsai? As I call it. Yeah. Somebody refers to it. My humble bonsai. My sapling. We always

referred to it as my sapling. And you said that you thought that was fine. Well, all right. I think in good news, Italy, was shut down to protests Israeli genocide. Basically, most of Italy shut down on Friday

thanks to a one-day general strike which saw public transportation and schools closed as protesters flocked to the streets in support of Gaza and the global flotilla. More than 2 million people in Italy attended rallies.

The national average participation in the general strike stood at around 60%, which is really cool. to say. Yeah, I mean, there's even, I know in Amsterdam, there's like hundreds of thousands of people who came out. I mean, it's, yeah, what else can you do at this point? I mean, I know that that whole peace deal that was being bandied around last week, Trump kept extending the deadline. And then, like, the thing from Hamas was like, we'll agree to the first 10, maybe. But the other 10, like, let's not even acknowledge that right now. And Trump was like, that's a good sign. That's a good sign. We're making

in progress baby yeah so god it's this is just such a long-winded like terrible thing and then also you know greta tunberg came back she was deported finally and even said like surprise surprise a terrible treatment um when when they were apprehended yeah they had video of them coming on and like pointing assault weapons at these unarmed peaceful protesters you know they tried to scramble their ability to they capture it but they were they were able to get video of it yeah because they were saying like there she was like in a place infested with bed bugs and they're like trying to get her to pose like the flag and shit is very um but they again the officials there like that's our lies those are lies those are lies yeah yeah the fascist leader in italy maloney claimed that the massive protest was

politically motivated and targeted her and her right wing government so oh my god that is the saddest shit To try and be like, yeah, it's about me. Yeah. It's because I'm doing such a terrible job. Yeah, I need it to be about me. Yikes. 300,000 people marched through the streets of Rome alone while the national average participating in it was 60%.

So that halted all the main services and key sectors, including transportation and schools. So just another cool thing that unions can do for you. Yeah, or just people working collectively. You know, tools down. Collective action. All right. Those are some of the things that are trend.

on this Monday morning and afternoon. We are back tomorrow with the whole last episode of the show. Until then, be kind to each other, be kind to yourself. Get your vaccines while you still can. Get your flu shots. Yeah. Don't do nothing about white supremacy.
