  • My Favorite Podcast 🩷🖤

    I’ve followed Mrs. Angemi for years on IG and this podcast is something I look forward to every week! I love that they are a mother-daughter duo and how real and relatable they both are - it feels like I’m getting together to chat with close friends. My 15yo daughter wants to be a cop and she really loves listening too - it’s been great bonding with her over episodes!

  • ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    I swear this show has improved my mental health more than my therapist. Every episode feels like hanging out with my funniest, most unfiltered friends — You two are the perfect mix of chaos and comfort. If I’m lucky enough to grab dinner with you, I’ll bring dessert and at least three new inside jokes. 🥂

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Rihanna Shooting, Teacher Killed in Prank Gone Wrong, Britney Spears DUI Arrest, Woman Killed Over Argument About Hamster, and More!
Q: What distinguishes a DUI charge of impairment from a BAC-based DUI in practice?
Impairment charges can be pursued even when BAC is under the legal limit if evidence from field sobriety tests and officer observations shows the driver was impaired, making a case for 'driving while impaired' rather than strictly 'driving under the influence.'
Dentist and Wife Found Murdered, Indiana Jones Malfunction, Alan Jackson Drops Nick Reiner, Strange Addictions, Scooping Out Periods, and More!
Q: So we've reported before holiday break that famed attorney Alan Jackson was going to be representing Nick Reiner, and now he has quit the case and said he has no choice. Why do you think he dropped it?
It seems to come down to ethical issues surrounding the client, the circumstances beyond the client's control, and the funding challenges because of the client's financial situation.
Medical Examiner Admits to Mistake in Sending Father to Prison, Dead Body Smuggled on Flight, Wedding Usher Bites Off Guest's Finger, Elsie Hewitt Unexpected Procedure, and More!
Q: When a person dies, does their stomach acid keep dissolving food?
The stomach acid could still be in there, but digestion won't occur properly because other digestive functions cease after death.
Burn Cage Found in D4vd's Rental, Brian Walshe Sentencing, Nick Reiner's Defense, and More with Legal Analyst, Jarrett Ferentino!
Q: So in the case of Koberger, some parents really didn't want to drop the death penalty charge, so what made the prosecutor in that case go against that?
The decision ultimately lies with the prosecutor, who weighs whether to seek the death penalty based on available evidence and family input, but it's not the deciding factor.
Burn Cage Found in D4vd's Rental, Brian Walshe Sentencing, Nick Reiner's Defense, and More with Legal Analyst, Jarrett Ferentino!
Q: Is that something that you think would ever happen in this case?
While the case qualifies for the death penalty, California's current moratorium on the death penalty could deter it from being sought.
