A judge denied the release of 40-year-old mom of four, Corie Walsh during her first court appearance after strangling her 2-year-old son Barrett last week, saying she remains a risk to her other children and husband. Walsh’s attorneys wanted their client sent to a mental health facility, claiming Walsh had a fascination with the Lindsay Clancy trial while suffering a psychotic event at the time of the murder. Some new and chilling details came out of today’s hearing: police described Walsh as “incoherent” and claimed she believed she had killed her other children while planning to poison her husband with a drink when he came home. Walsh is charged with first degree murder after her two older children found their 2 year old brother hanging from the rafters of their basement.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Now that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are back in the UK, King Charles released a formal letter reminding the public that Harry and Meghan are not to be treated like members of the royal family! In his public statement, the King begins by saying “to help avoid doubt or confusion” and goes on to say there is no change to the couples’ status as non-working members of the Royal family and that they should NOT be referenced as “His and Her Royal Highness.” The Sussexes have already reacted through their spokesperson, saying they were surprised by the King’s letter.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On its face, it sounds horrific: a mom allows her five-year-old son to walk alone to a neighborhood pond, a half mile away. That mom is Karyann Parkinson and she’s speaking out after being convicted of contributing to the delinquency of a minor. Parkinson is also now on a state abuse registry for the next seven years. The mom of five says she had just walked to the pond six times with her son that day, in their gated community, complete with security guards. It was one of those guards who escorted the boy home, and ultimately called police.  Debate is now raging online among parents, how young is too young to walk alone, and what is the role of the state when it comes to making parenting decisions? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On what would’ve been Celeste Rivas Hernandez’s 16th birthday, her family released a new photo of her and a statement saying the death penalty “would be perfect” for singer D4vd, who’s been charged with the killing and dismembering the young teen. Today is the one year anniversary of the discovery of Hernandez’s remains in the front trunk of D4vd’s Tesla.  Even though the last execution in California happened two decades ago, the DA has not yet taken the death penalty off the table. Hernandez’s family also called into question D4vd’s legal representation, saying he is not indigent and should not qualify for public defenders after after his private attorneys withdrew from his case last week.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

While interracial dating is not taboo the way it was in years past, it is still fascinating the way we are often treated when we’re out at restaurants together. Over the weekend, we dealt with the same question we are constantly asked, and it’s a question we were NEVER confronted with when we were with same race partners. We discuss why it’s difficult to assume people of opposite races are in a romantic relationship, and what would should say the next time we’re asked if we want to “split the bill."See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

If you haven’t checked out President Trump’s Truth Social feed over the past 24 hours, it’s your civic duty to do so, if only to know what our president is doing over the Labor Day Holiday. He’s continued on his renaming rampage, now suggesting he might change the name of New Mexico to New America and posts that both the Moon and the Strait of Hormuz are “ours." Trump also throws the late Congressman John Dingell’s wife under the bus, all while depicting himself in AI generated images as a superhero/dark lord, Hulk Hogan, and George Washington’s BFF. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Israeli American Council is demanding Ed Sheeran remove Macklemore from his concert lineup, after Macklemore made a “Free Palestine” statement and sang his protest song, ‘Hind’s Hall” while headlining for Sheeran this weekend at MetLife Stadium. The non-profit Jewish organization has not only called on Sheeran to take action, but also his tour leadership and the venues hosting the tour.  The group also wants to know who knew in advance about Macklemore’s speech, visual content and performance, saying “freedom of expression does not mean freedom from responsibility.” ”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
