  • Intoxicated guests?

    I usually like this show but you can’t just broadcast an episode (Jan 28th) where your guest is clearly intoxicated or otherwise impaired. Not a good look.

    Joel, I love your show - but in the show entitled “Warrant Arrest Filed for Ohio Double Murder,” why do one of your guests sound drunk? Drunk or not, he was so tongue twisted and annoying.

Police Release Man Detained, Another Bitcoin Request & "Persons of Interest" in Nancy Guthrie Case
Q: Why haven't they asked neighbors to search their properties and washes?
They actually did that yesterday. They had a ton of FBI agents, the sheriff deputies working in teams going door to door.
Police Release Man Detained, Another Bitcoin Request & "Persons of Interest" in Nancy Guthrie Case
Q: Does there need to be sort of a happy medium here?
I am just dumbfounded why Chris Nanos hasn't at least let them come out, give them some talking points, let them come out and feed the press, feed the citizens so they know what's going on.
Police Release Man Detained, Another Bitcoin Request & "Persons of Interest" in Nancy Guthrie Case
Q: What do you do with this glove other than process it?
You look at the manufacturer labels and see if you can track down how many millions of those gloves have been sold in the Tucson area.

Body Language Expert ‪@drgexplains‬: Nancy Guthrie's Suspect Video & What it Says About Her Abductor
Q: What do you think is in that backpack?
Dr. G suggests it may contain a tarp for covering a victim, as it's unlikely he would go in with a full backpack if he intended to steal.
